I write this as some information for those looking at IWB holster. I received my Summer Special 2 few months ago from Brownells. It is for a full size 1911 pistol. Once I got this holster, of course like a kid, went down and put it on and slid one of my pistols in it. I can say this, it was made for the 1911 and felt like made for me. The holster has a great cant to hide and access the grip, and felt as if it belonged on me, no fighting or adjusting. To take it off undo the snaps, and pull this holster out, with ease. The mouth of the holster stays open and is great for holstering with out fuss. I have a fiber optic front sight, but the way the holster is designed with a "channel", it slides in and out without drag or picking anything up. I have worn the holster everyday for last few months, and it is the most comfortable IWB holster I have ever worn, sitting in chair or car doesn't matter either. Once I put it on and adjust my belt it stays put and doesn't move.
Now, I am a hard fit, I am 5'7" and stocky 275. I have used a lot of the "hybrid" holster out there over the years, as well as, other name brands. None felt as nice as this. I can slip this holster on, and it almost totally disappears with just a T-shirt, (better than other styles for me). The leather is rough side out which aid in keeping it in place, but if you are "sensitive skin", you will need a undershirt. If you struggle with the modern IWB holsters, take a look at these. For the money, the holster is well worth it. I will do a follow up, in few more months, perhaps a video.
