Does anyone know of sources that make nice ranger belts and holsters for the m1911?

What do you mean by "ranger" belt? Are you talking about the 2 1/4" wide belt with the 1" or so billit with matching buckle? El Paso Saddlery makes their "River" belt and the Tom Threeperson's holster for the 1911. Many of a Texas Ranger has worn such a rig. They also have another holster, I believe they call it the Austin, that was/is a Ranger pick.
