The 1911 finally has a holster built to its standard

There are handguns, and then there's the 1911. More than a century after John Browning drew it up, the single-stack 1911 is still the gun a huge number of serious shooters reach for. But if you carry one, you already know the catch — finding a holster actually built to conceal a full-size steel pistol, molded to your gun, is harder than it should be.

That changes today. Two of our most popular KSG Armory holsters now support traditional 1911 handguns: the Trenton OWB and our top-selling Lexington IWB. Both are molded over the real firearm and made to order in the USA.

What "traditional 1911" means here. We're covering the classic single-stack pattern in 4.25" and 5" barrel lengths with a rounded trigger guard — rail or no rail, doesn't matter. (Running a double-stack 2011-style gun? Those are supported too.) Because the 1911 has been built to such a consistent pattern for decades, a properly molded holster fits a wide range of the makes you already trust. The fit selector on each product page lists every supported model.

Trenton OWB — concealment without the bulk. Designed by Dave Spaulding of Handgun Combatives specifically for concealed OWB, the Trenton wraps to the contour of your body and pulls a full-size 1911 in tight instead of pushing it off the belt. The open-bottom build clears a 5" Government-model barrel, it's optics-ready, and it's cut from .080" Boltaron/Kydex — 25% thicker than what a lot of makers use. Starts at $69.95.

Lexington IWB — our top seller, now in 1911. The Lexington is our flagship inside-the-waistband and appendix holster, and the 1911's thin single-stack profile is exactly the kind of gun it was built to make disappear. Fully ambidextrous body, concealment wing and claw options to rotate the grip into your body, and a customizable foam wedge to bring the rear of the gun in tight and balance the weight of a steel frame. Pair it with the belt attachment that fits how you carry. Starts at $80.

Both holsters carry KSG's lifetime craftsmanship guarantee, backed by a 60-day satisfaction guarantee — if you don't love it, send it back. Your 1911 has earned a holster built to its standard. Now you can get one.
