3" 1911 Holster Recommendations

Hello, I'm a RH person looking for a IWB, LH holster to wear in the small of my back. Firearm is a Colt Defender in 3". I prefer a holster that has the high rise leather so I can carry cocked and locked w/o the hammer and spur digging into my love handles. 🙄 Preference is leather, but I'm open to other suggestions. It seems the ones I find that have the extra leather to protect from gouging your side are OWB style OR didn't look like they had any retention.

Can anyone recommend a model? TIA

  I have a Desanti's holster. It is OWB. Its for my 3" Kimber, I wear at about 4 o'clock position. Good luck.

  Looking at Desanti's, for your gun the only condition one ( C&L) holster is like what I posted above, OWB.

  I contacted Bianchi and another small label manufacturer about fitment, waiting on both to reply. Has anyone had any experience with Azula holsters? Seems interesting what I have found on their website. They have a generous amount of leather in the hammer/spur area on their SOB holster.

  I haven't heard of Azula before, but looks good
