General John Bianchi, told me HE was the guilty party, that asked Armand to make his 1911 easier to use for a lefty, low those many years ago. At the time John was was a newby street cop in Monrovia California building gunleather in his garage...

Yea, and verily, those were Dark Ages... (reply)

Until the late, great Armand said, 'Let there be Left.'

Yer the one who's backwardhanded. Why, everbody knows John Moses put the safety on the left side of the 1911 so's RIGHT handed folks could reach it. If'n John M. done it, it's gotta be right.

But it is made for the wrong hand (reply)

Looking good!
I have never understood paddles - they make the gun protrude out a mile and don't feel that good inside your pants either!

Updated holster

Vers Clip II the re-enforced holster mouth can be worn inside the waist band or on the belt very quick to put on the gun and holster far superior to any paddle holster in concealment and retention.The gun rides low but you have enough room to acquire a firing grip on the gun during the draw. One shouldn't have to fish the gun out and reposition the hand at a critical moment. Oh, you Corporate cubicle types (poor bastards)can use it as a tuck-able holster as well.The pancake design is comfortable & comforting. It pulls the butt of the gun in to your side for better concealment. My pancakes are designed to make holstering the gun easy, inside our on the belt. The re enforced mouth just makes it more sure for those or us that snug their belt up real tight.
