With age, inactivity due the health issues, I find myself with not enough ass left to hold up my pants with just my cell phone in my pocket, let alone with my carry gun.
I'm not heavy, 5'10", 185-190 pounds with a 34 inch waist.
I do have a slight beer belly which helps push the pants down, but not much.
Tightening my belt is like tying a rope around a stove pipe.
My carry guns are not real heavy, SW E Series Scandium Commander 1911 45, CZ PO6 40 SW.
I could use some recommendations on holsters that will not drag the pants down on this ass-less old fart. That S&W is sweet. If you shoot it enough to crack or wear it out, the receiver the company will repair or replace it. Not bad for a 99% aluminum frame, huh? How accurate is it, Steve? Here's what I plan as soon as I get around to it. Maybe you would like to try it. I don't care for suspenders, but with weight the gun belt won't work like it used to either. I plan to make a shoulder holster. I already have good quality leather belts for shoulder straps and one inch mil spec elastic if I go that route. You might want to try it and see what you think, or buy a recommended brand. There's a few that I've not heard anything but praises for, but have no personal experience. I'll try to find a video that goes through start to finish how they are made if you want me to. Just ask. Accuracy is good. I have several 1911s, my most accurate is Dan Wesson Pointman 7 , it’s stainless and heavy so I don’t carry it, I just shoot it. It will do a 1 inch group at 25 off a rest. The SW will come damn close, but not quite. It is not only my carry gun, it is my favorite 45 at the range. I shoot the SW off hand better that all of my other 1911s, cept for maybe my DW CBOB 10mm. Maybe it’s the Bobtail that works well foe me, duno,

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

When I picked one up just to hold at the shop counter I noticed that the S&W SC was exceptionally ergonomic. I passed on it because the price was close to full retail new on one with holster wear. I guess it shows that they hold their value. Besides reliability, I think that the qualities that you mentioned are most important for ccws. That kind of accuracy is extra icing on the cake. You normally have to pay big$ for that type of custom work on 1911s. The extra durability puts that into the stainless category too, but without the weight. Congratulations 👍
