Open carry starts in Oklahoma November 1. I don't plan to open carry all the time but when I do I want a holster fitting for it. I see most of the compact 1911 holsters on the market don't have a thumb-break. My Kimber is the 3" compact model I bought for concealed carry. Now when I conceal, I am not worried about exposure or printing but I want more retention when I need to open carry in our over 100 degree summers.

I have looked at some of the more popular brands out there and have not found just the right rig. I am wanting leather that will completely cover the gun and look fairly nice when visible. So, leather, outside WB belt holster with thumb-break for a 3" 1911.

Any advice?
