Sporran holster ?

Don't suppose your .45 has the 1911 style and size of grips ?

Yep. full size 1911A1, that's my favorite carry gun although I do have some smaller ones that would work in a sporran if necessary. I just don't like the extra weight floppin' around down there. Some of the tactical thigh holsters look like they may do the trick, just haven't gotten around to spending the money to try them out yet. I'll come up with something eventually that works and hopefully comfortable. Idaho is an open carry state so I could always pack it in a holster hanging off my belt, but even here there are places where the gun will get more stares and comments than the kilt.

Your post reminded me that I've been given the CAD drawings for the 1911 standard grips to make a set in Bog Oak with Silver fittings in the style of the Sgian Dubh and Dirk handles that I make. Been discussing the details with Mike from Turner Customs. It's one of those 'just for fun' projects !

Now that sounds interesting. A .45 sgian dubh, still a bit big to tuck in your sock but I'd love to see some pictures when you get them done.
