Precision Carry for a Modern Classic: Remington 1911 R1 Holsters
The Remington 1911 R1 continues the legacy of one of America’s most iconic pistols. With a 5-inch and Carry Commander 4.25 inch match-grade barrel, forged steel slide, and crisp single-action trigger, it blends the timeless 1911 design with modern machining and improved ergonomics.
Every Remington 1911 R1 holster in this lineup is engineered to match that precision, offering secure retention, a smooth draw, and the comfort needed for all-day carry.
Concealed Confidence: IWB Remington 1911 R1 Holsters
An IWB Remington 1911 R1 holster provides discreet carry for one of the most balanced full-size 1911 pistols ever made. Designed for concealment and comfort, the IWB holster molds precisely to the pistol’s frame contours, keeping the firearm close to the body while maintaining a natural draw angle.
Adjustable cant and ride height enable shooters to fine-tune positioning for optimal concealment and access. The hybrid construction pairs a soft neoprene or breathable backing with a rigid polymer shell that locks securely onto the slide and trigger guard.
Moisture-resistant materials prevent corrosion on the R1’s carbon-steel frame and match barrel, maintaining both function and finish over long-term use.
Versatility in One System: ShapeShift Core Carry Pack for Remington 1911 R1
The ShapeShift Core Carry Pack for Remington 1911 R1 holsters includes four modular configurations—IWB, appendix, OWB paddle, and OWB slide—giving you the flexibility to adapt to any carry environment.
- IWB and Appendix: Offer deep concealment with customizable retention and a comfortable backer that prevents skin irritation from the 1911’s beavertail grip safety.
- OWB Paddle: Allows quick setup and removal with secure paddle mounting for range or open carry.
- OWB Slide: Provides a low-profile belt-mounted configuration that keeps the pistol stable and close to the body for better balance and comfort.
Each configuration uses the same injection-molded shell, ensuring consistent retention and fit across all modes. This system’s modularity perfectly complements the R1’s versatile role as both a defensive carry and competition-ready handgun.
Range and Field Performance: OWB Remington 1911 R1 Holsters
For range sessions, duty applications, or open carry, an OWB Remington 1911 R1 holster delivers accessible retention and rock-solid stability. The design follows the pistol’s iconic slide and frame profile, ensuring secure lock-up and smooth reholstering.
Retention screws allow tension customization, and the holster’s rigid structure prevents flexing under pressure. Whether paddle-mounted or belt-threaded, the OWB option distributes the R1’s weight evenly along the beltline, preventing fatigue during extended wear.
Durable polymer construction shields the pistol’s front sight and slide from abrasion, ensuring the same reliable performance you expect from a precision-built sidearm.
Fit and Function for the 1911 Platform
Each Remington 1911 R1 holster is molded specifically for the R1’s dimensions, capturing the unique features that define its precision and performance:
- 5-inch match-grade barrel and long slide provide a steady draw stroke and smooth reholstering.
- Beavertail grip safety and extended thumb safety are fully accessible, ensuring safe operation during carry and draw.
- Skeletonized hammer and trigger reduce weight and enhance responsiveness—complemented by holster designs that prevent interference with trigger operation.
- Forged carbon-steel frame and slide maintain structural integrity, while holsters protect contact surfaces from wear and moisture exposure.
These design considerations ensure a perfect fit for both standard and Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced models.
