So you’ve just added a shiny new optic to your concealed carry 1911. Congrats! Optics can make a huge difference in shortening target acquisition time and improving accuracy. However, there’s one thing that many new optic owners forget after upgrading their 1911s: their gun holster.

You can’t just find a one-size-fits-all option for your concealed carry gun holster, either. That’s because different red dots have different size dimensions. This, in turn, can affect how it fits into a holster. As a result, you’re going to want a holster that matches both your 1911 and your optic.
