Went with an IWB and a gun belt, works like a champ!
I also frequently carry a 5" 1911 with two spare magazines.

I'll second what TAM says about gunbelts. In fact, I'll go even further to say that a good quality gunbelt can make carrying in a lousy holster comfortable while a great holster is still uncomfortable when used with a lousy belt.

Note we said gunbelt. That means a product that is designed and sold to carry a gun. That does not mean a thick belt, a heavy belt, a work belt, a ranger belt, a cowboy belt, or an Amish belt. A gunbelt.

And since his picture was with a lightweight gun, this is my Beltman.net belt holding an all-steel 5" 1911.

Normally, I carry it in a Comp-Tac Minotaur.
