Hey, the holster is reasonably priced, has a retention strap, is lightweight, and will accommodate an extra magazine. :thumb:
It doesn't matter how expensive a holster is. What matters is how well it works for you!
My carry habits are very similar to yours. I bought my PT1911 first, and then added an STI Spartan III (3.5" barrel) for easier concealment and a bit less weight for everyday carry. I love both guns, but lately (even though it's summer) I've found myself carrying the PT1911 a bit more than the STI. Go figure... :icon_rolleyes: I love my Taurus and shoot it more accurately than any other handgun I've ever had the opportunity to pull the trigger on....My PT1911 is my go-to carry weapon. Even after picking up a 1911 commander for EDC, I still, more often than not, end up with the PT1911
hanging on my hip.
I carry both of my 1911s in the same Theis IWB holster ( Theisholsters.com | Products | Custom IWB Holsters )...only one of them at any given time
... on an Aker leather carry belt ( Aker International, Inc. ). It's a great combination (IMO) that is very comfortable for carrying all day long. Both the holster and the belt are very well-made and have held up great so far, which has been about a year at this point. And, neither one will break the bank, at least not compared to what a lot of other quality holsters and belts are going for. I did a ton of research before deciding, and I've been extremely satisfied with both. Good luck with the search.
I'm a big fan of Don Hume. I use their PCCH for my 1911's and my Para. I also use their 715 (both with the belt loops and clip) for several other semi autos and some revolvers. The PCCH is very similar in design to the Milt Sparks SS2 but it doesn't have the interchangeable belt loop system.
