Does the Kimber 1911 Holster fit a Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry?

Yes, the Tactical Shoulder Holster for Kimber 1911 Series fits the Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry because it is designed to accommodate most large and medium frame pistols.

The Kimber 1911 Holster includes a universal holster and a double magazine pouch, providing the necessary components for a standard carry setup. Because this shoulder rig is fully adjustable to fit various body frames, it can be positioned to accommodate the Ultra Carry’s specific dimensions. We selected this option for our review because it includes a reversible design for right or left-hand cross draws among the shoulder holster options we evaluated. For a shoulder holster, ensuring the specific slide height and grip length of the Ultra Carry do not protrude is vital because the rig sits against the body, where any protrusion can cause the firearm to shift or snag against clothing. The compatibility list is not all-inclusive, meaning the holster is designed to accept various 1911 profiles beyond the standard full-size model.

What to Check Before Buying the Kimber 1911 Holster

Before purchasing, verify these specific details to ensure the holster performs as expected with your firearm:

• Confirm the 1911 safety lever has enough clearance to avoid snagging on the internal holster material.
• Verify that your specific magazine width seats correctly in the included double magazine pouch to prevent the rig from shifting.
• Check the manufacturer’s compatibility page to see if the holster requires a specific belt width or thickness to maintain the correct carry angle.
• Ensure the included universal holster provides sufficient retention for the Ultra Carry’s grip geometry.
• Check the manufacturer’s support documentation to confirm if additional mounting hardware is required for your specific gear setup.

Choosing the Right Shoulder Rig

This shoulder holster is a wearable carrier that holds a firearm against the torso, providing a hands-free way to carry a sidearm. The Kimber 1911 Holster is a budget-friendly option priced around $23.45 that prioritizes versatility through its reversible and adjustable design. If you require a specialized, custom-molded rig or a specific friction-fit retention system that is not a universal fit, you may want to look at more specialized holster options. This model is intended for those who need a multi-purpose rig that can adapt to different body sizes and hand preferences without a high price point.

You should also consider how weight and bulk affect shoulder rigs before making your final selection.

If you own a Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry and need a versatile, adjustable rig for cross-draw use, you should choose the Kimber 1911 Holster.
