I have started back shooting IDPA and IPSC recently and always insist on using my single-stack 1911s. I just can't get used to double stacks. I realize that I will never be a real threat to the competition with the belled mag-wells and high-cap feeders but I like to practice with what I carry and shoot. The sport is fun and can offer some serious improvement in defensive hand-gunning if you don't fall too much into the "need for speed" trap. I would like to find a source for some decent quality kydex mag holsters. I have only two left for a single-stack that allows the tension to be adjusted and can't remember where I got them. Anyone here make them or know where to get them?
Uncle Mike's makes Kydex mag holders that are supposed to be adjustable for 1911 single stacks. That said, I have not been able to get mine cinched up enough to keep the mags in if you don't keep them upright. The holster is just right.
www.comp-tac.com I have 6 of their holsters and two of their mag pouches. They hold two magazines apiece and I use them everyday.
I've been thinking of doing the same. That thing is pricey, though. I'll have to order two because I shoot single stacks and double stacks.
