Do any of you have any experience carrying a 3inch 1911 in the 4 inch versa max. I have and carry both and would like to use one holster for both. they told me that it will certainly work but if carry the 3 inch a whole lot, the leather will start to close up and form to it.

anyone had this experience or know of anyone that has?
 
Re: milt sparks versa max question

FWIW I have worn a V-max almost every day for the better part of 13 yrs. I only buy full size holsters - ie my G26 rides in the same holster as my G17, BHP in the same as my Government.

On the other hand, if you are patient non full size V-maxes turn up with reasonable regularity, and generally garner less interest than full size models.


Good luck
 
Re: milt sparks versa max question

I've carried my G26 in my G19 VM2 quite often and it's still as sturdy at the bottom as ever. Over a long time-frame the non-supported barrel end may breakdown, but I don't see it being a big issue. If anything it would just make re-holstering a bit more difficult possibly with the longer barrel when getting to the softer leather. If that makes sense in my rambling.
