Looking for a new American Tactical 1911 - 3" OWB holster? Well, then don’t go any further. This outside the waistband holster is a synonym of simplicity, just look at it! It features an open top, open muzzle design, so your American Tactical 1911 - 3" gets a lot of fresh air and you won’t have any problem accessing it. If you’re looking for a holster allowing for quick draw and re-holstering, you won’t be disappointed.

When I first saw the holster I actually confused it for a pancake one. However, it’s a bit narrower and although I still prefer pancakes, this holster offers a much lower profile. This is vital especially if you’re looking for an OWB with high concealability. If you get this holster, you’ll get it molded specifically for your gun, so you can be sure about the perfect fit.

Now not everything is ideal and this holster is no exception. The absence of thumb break will result in lower security and retention, although the custom molding prevents the American Tactical 1911 - 3" from falling out, so don’t worry about that too much. It’s also not the sturdiest of leather holsters, which could be a problem for some of you.

What made this holster a keeper for me, however, is definitely the double-stitching it features. As you can see in the picture, all the key parts of the holster are double-stitched, which makes the holster much more secure and prevents it from falling apart. If you’re looking for an OWB holster you won’t have to change for a new one anytime soon, then this is the one to get.

Shoulder holsters have lately become probably the most favorite carry option. They look stylish and if it’s not too hot outside, they are also easy to conceal. And that’s also the case with this horizontal shoulder rig. When I first tried it on, I was impressed. The first thing was the premium leather it’s made of, the second the fact that it comes assembled, so you won’t have any issue using it straight out of the box.

A huge benefit of this American Tactical 1911 - 3" holster is that you can make great use of it even if it’s hot outside. The back of the holster body is equipped with a belt slot and belt panel and if you detach the holster from the harness, you can simply carry it as a belt side holster. The rig also features a thumb break. However, if you decide to get it for a bigger pistol or revolver, don’t be surprised if it’s non-detachable. They do this to make the bigger guns more secure inside the holster, which I think is great.

A frequent problem of shoulder rigs is their balance. However, the mag/speedloader pouch this system comes with solves the issue and works as a great counterweight. If you don’t feel like this is enough, there’s also the attachable belt tie-down strap the system comes with.

The only problem I’m having with this rig is that it’s only designed for horizontal carry, which could be a problem if you decide to get one for a really big pistol or revolver. Also keep in mind that if you’re a bigger guy, you’ll have to ask for a harness customization as by default this holster only works for up to XL sizes. All in all, this is a perfect shoulder rig that you’ll most definitely dig.

Are you a fan of cross draw carry? Then you’re in the right place. This custom leather holster for American Tactical 1911 - 3" is probably the most popular cross draw holster on this list and there are a couple of reasons for that. You know that cross draws require a good cant, strong leather and proper stitching. This holster has got it all. As you can see, it comes with belt loops on either side of the holster, which enhances its stability.

You’ll enjoy this cross-draw holster especially when driving or sitting at your desk, at least that’s when I prefer to carry it. When it comes to the material, the holster is built of premium Italian leather and sewn together with high-quality German threads. The leather covers the entire barrel, which further enhances safety this leather cross-draw holster offers.

You’ll feel secure about your American Tactical 1911 - 3" thanks to the featured thumb break. It’s true that it takes a bit longer to draw and re-holster, but you’ll master that in a couple of hours. Moreover, the thumb break is reinforced by steel, so it won’t get flimsy over years of use. You can get this holster in two colors - mahogany and black. Just don’t forget to select the correct hand. If you’re looking for a comfortable cross draw holster that’s been well received by many, then you should get this one.

This is an ideal SoB (small of the back) holster for your American Tactical 1911 - 3". The construction of this small of the back holster is quite sturdy, which makes it resemble the mighty Grizzly. The key points of this holster are double stitched and the leather it’s made of is reinforced. Just like other SoBs, it’s best to carry it in the 6 o’clock position. Not that many people are fans of this carry style, but the palm-in design of this one eliminates drawing and re-holstering issues that some SoBs have.

Also not that many SoBs are as stable as this one. Its high stability is achieved by 2 belt loops, one of which is a bit wider. The biggest downside of this holster is that it is designed strictly for right-handed shooters, so if you’re a leftie, I advise the other ones on the list. If you want it to really look like the animal it’s named after, then the mahogany version is the one you should go for. If you’re a fan of the dark side, don’t worry, you can also get one made of black leather. All in all, if you’re looking for a solid small of the back holster for your American Tactical 1911 - 3" at great price, Grizzly is your go to option.

This concealment pouch is ideal for anyone who lives in a state that doesn’t allow open carry. The bag is designed for off-body concealed carry and, just like its name suggests, it’s ideal mainly for urban environments. If you’ve previously used mainly belt holsters, then you won’t need much time getting used to this pouch, as it’s also designed for belt carry.

The pouch is attached via adjustable Velcro belt loops, which means it fits belts of pretty much any size. The entire concealed carry pouch is made of high-quality polyester. Moreover, all of the key parts of this product are double-stitched, which results in its high durability. What I love about the pouch is that it allows me to carry all of my daily essentials. I carry my American Tactical 1911 - 3" in the separate, extra lined section, but there are also other compartments in which I can store the rest of my EDC (such as documents, spare ammo, cary keys and more).

The Urban Concealed Carry Pouch is ideal for both right and left-handed shooters as it comes in an ambidextrous design. It’s also available in multiple colors - black, coyote, olive, and natur grey. And if you decide to drift away from the American Tactical 1911 - 3", it can be made for many other gun makes, as long as they’re not longer than 8 inches.
