I'm looking for a new holster for my Government Model 1911. It'll mainly be used for USPSA and Steel Challenge, but I have a personal rule about only gaming with gear that I would actually carry. That means it can't be a stripped down, skeletonized gamer rig, and obviously, no retention devices beyond holster tension itself. I've always preferred leather, but I'm not against alternative materials.
So, anybody got any good ideas?

Re: Holster recommendation
I have a Looper Leather/Bladetech snap-on OWB holster - kydex lined, leather outside. It rides a little lower than I would like for concealment, but it is very fast, and easy to draw from. I use a Blade-Tech DOH (pure game holster) for shooting Production, and surrender is the only position I find noticeably faster.
Blade-Tech mag pouches work well for carry, as well as for games - they have an adjustable loop system, so they can fit tightly on various forms of belt. (I'm wearing a 1911 in that set-up currently, and have been for awhile.

Re: Holster recommendation
I have a Blade Tech paddle that I like so far. Only have had it about two months but it really pulls the pistol (Kimber 3" ultra carry) tight into the side for good concealment. I like it better than the Blackhawk Serpa that I have for my 5" 1911.
