Pocket Carry 1911??

98% of the time I have a 3" Kimber Ultra Carry II in my pocket in a Sam Andrews www.andrewsleather.com pocket holster. I just need to wear loose fitting trousers, other than that - absolutely no problems.

Wildman and former New Orleans cop who ran a LEO supply store favored that weapon and method of carry.
He had some type of quality leather pocket holster.
It worked well for him, but he was a very experienced operator. Not for the minimally trained would be my position. He also practiced presentations and administration of the weapon daily.

Not exactly, but close!
I ran a thread about pocket carrying my glock.
Although it's not a 1911, close in size, so perhaps a pic of it in holster and pants might apply here:
The glock grip has been cut down to a g26 size. about 4 inches. but even with the original glock 19 it will barely fit. I can wear this method anywhere and nobody can tell. For all they know, I just have a pocket planner in my pocket.
Holster is home made and hold the glock comfortable vertically and can draw fast. By pulling the glock out towards the back of the pocket, the turned up edge of the flat part catches and stays in the pocket.
I'm sure a setup with any of the smaller 1911 platforms would work just as well.
I wear carharts 95% of the time, because I keep things in all the same pockets, but any good work pants work just as good, as long as the fabric is thick and holds shape good.

Now that the weather is turning cold, I've carried mine in my Carhart jacket front pocket. It's a heavy enough material that it doesn't conform to the gun's lines. It bulges, but there's no "gun" look to it. Could be a pair of gloves or phone or anything. It's quite handy when I'm not wearing a full belt/holster getup.
