OK, thanks. I am going to be visiting a few places today, so I'll see what they have, and if they have a 1911, I will see how the fit it.
I do realize that some of what I said is contradictory; I basically just want a good holster for my hip that will hold the gun. It doesn't have to be retention, I just like the idea of retention. It doesn't have to be super-concealable either, since the only time I would carry with it would be when I know I am wearing enough clothes to cover it, or using it on the range. It just has to be a good holster; after that it's a matter of personal preference. I suppose it is further complicated when you start getting into cant, and then your points become very salient.
