The loose hold this holster has on the belt allows it to move around more than I like: up/down, sideways and rotationally. This results in a number of different locations and positions when reaching for and removing the weapon. I prefer a more snug arrangement. The holster fits my 45 very well and break in was a breeze. The thumb-break snap is well designed with lockup and break both giving positive tactile feel. The belt clip material is a thermoplastic that could use another few mils thickness. It is fairly flexible which contributes to the movement described earlier. A thicker clasp would provide more stability and a longer life. I think the price for this holster is north of the value delivered, but Optics Planet had the best price I could find.

This m.o.b. fits my 1911 very well. You can't tell I'm carrying with this rig, without a frisk. It's far more secure than just sticking the pistol into your pants and hoping your belt will hold it. Be aware this holster is designed for "hammer down" carry. It can be contorted for "cocked/locked", but its is awkward.

The only holsters that I purchase are from Galco. Very good quality. This model is very concelable but a little hard to draw from and also uncomfortable sitting. It is inside the waistband so your pants cannot be too tight. Overall I do like this holster.
