    Springfield 1911

    Is the holster and mag holder that comes with the gun worth keeping? Or should I get an after market one? Wanted to see what everyone thinks..

    no not really....you can use it to play around with but I think you'd be better off with an aftermarket holster for any real holsterage.

      What are you planning on using it for? If you a carrying around the house it is just fine. It isn't the best for field work and definitely not useful for concealed carry.

      Generally, you pick a holster based on the application.

        I like the term holsterage. Mind if I use that?

        OP, definitely get another holster, there are some excellent quality ones out there that will far exceed that one. The included one is good for just hanging around the house or something.

          ^^ Sure.....but the supplied SA holster is not adequate for any serious holsteration.

                The holster was extra useless for me since I am left handed

                      Is weight a big factor

                      Yea, the included plastic holster is junk.

                            the holster and mag carrier IMO is a bit of an embarrassment to an otherwise nice pistol. I just purchased a new Mil-spec and the holster / mag carrier will never leave the plastic case.
                            I only use Blade-tech Kydex.
