M-1911 Holsters : Wild Bill Concealment

Wild Bill is producing several holster models for the M-1911 Pistol. Below you can see their models:

Classic Speed Scabbard

This is a classic design of holstermaker Bruce Nelson. It is worn behind the hip and features a belt tunnel in the front and a belt slot at the rear. Hand-boned and riding high enough for easy concealement.


Gun Paddle

The 3-Way Gun Paddle is a unique design that allows the operator to remove the holster from the belt without taking the belt off, as well as offering three options of carry. Aside from the default FBI cant behind the hip carry, the holster unit can be removed from the pouch, then re-attached to allow either a high riding center of back carry or cross draw position. Note the leather paddle is larger than those found on many similar style holsters. This offers greater support of large handguns, and the leather, unlike synthetic paddles, will mold to your body, not vice-versa. The two belt loops secure the holster to your belt for additional security and stability.


Belt Slide

This is ideal for pistols with short muzzles, such as the H&K P-7, Glock 26/27, Kahr K-9, Astra A-75, Kel-Tec P-11, as well as full sized pistols or revolvers. The open bottom means that similar frame size weapons, such as all Glock 9mm or .40 caliber pistols, will fit the same Belt Slide. The dual belt slots pull the weapon in close to the body, while the angle of the weapon can be custom made from a neutral cant (straight drop) to a severe angle suitable for center of back carry. Like all of Wild Bill holsters, the Belt Slide is precision molded by hand for the specific weapon the holster is made for.


Limited

Standard with a muzzle forward cant, the Limited is designed primarily for cross draw wear. This is very useful for those operators who spend a great deal of time behind the wheel of a car, since the seated body position and seat belt use will interfere with more traditional carry modes. This high riding holster will conceal well under casual short jackets and photo-journalists vests, as well as suit coats. It can be ordered with a basketweave finish also.


Rock Solid

The Rock Solid is a variant of the "pancake" style of holster. Two belt slots pull the weapon in firmly against the body for maximum concealment, while the hand boned fit provides security. Low cut at the rear of the trigger guard to allow a full grip while still in the leather, the rig comes standard with an FBI cant. Shown here in Saddle Tan.


N.B.S.

A true pancake style design, this holster pulls the weapon up tightly against the body, and is built to ride very high for this type of holster. Equally suitable for autos or revolvers, this holster offers a great deal of protection for the firearm. Can be ordered with open or closed muzzle, neutral or FBI cant.


Summer Heat IWB

The Summer Heat IWB holster is based on the original Bruce Nelson Summer Special design. It is made of premium cowhide as the default, horsehide is available as an option. It has a reinforced mouth, utilizing space age ABS plastic inserts between the layers of leather.. The Summer Heat is available with either neutral cant (shown) or an FBI cant, in your choice of belt widths.


Southern Comfort

The Southern Comfort is an IWB design featuring a wide leather back. It will provide you with an all day (or night) carry that is secure and comfortable. The leather surrounding the holster pouch will conform to your body, molding the holster to your contours, and personalizing it specifically to you. The Southern Comfort can be had with either a FBI or neutral cant.


Under Cover

This unique style of IWB holster conceals the weapon without a jacket, even when the shirt is tucked in! This is acomplished by means of an ABS re-inforced support piece mounted to the base of the holster. The top of the support has the belt loop on it. The entire assembly is placed in the pants, with the shirt tucked in between the holster pouch and support piece. In this manner, the only visible portion of the holster is the belt loop. This can be further disguised by hanging a key ring on it. This style of carry works best with flat auto-pistols, such as the Colt Mustang pictured. Like all Wild Bill's IWB designs, it features ABS re-inforced mouth and one way snap on the belt. Specify neutral or FBI cant.


Speedster

Pictured above is the Speedster, a holster specifically designed to maximize the speed of your presentation. This holster is ideal for the rigors of IPSC Limited/Tactical competition. Constructed of heavy 10 oz. premium saddle leather, and lined with smooth doeskin, the Speedster is a perfect blend of form and function, which will also conceal under the popular mountain parka style jacket. Available for 1911 pistols and variants, the Browning Hi-Power, Glock 17/22, and CZ-75 variants, the Speedster is $95.00 + $5.00 S&H. The Speedster is made only for 1.5" double thick belts.
