Suggestions for IWB holster for commander sized 1911

I just got a new Dan Wesson CBOB commander sized 1911. What are some good options for a good IWB carry holster? I have a Comp-Tac for my XD, but I'm sure there are other options.

Also, it would be nice to find something under $60 if possible.

Thanks

If you prefer leather Rafter S makes some good reasonably priced gear. As I sit hear I have my Pre CZ CBob in a Rafter S IWB with two spare mags on the other side.

I have a Kramer IWB #2 in horsehide that works very well and is comfortable.
One of the features I like about it is that the belt loops are adjustable for different belt widths.

mcDaniel 2 or crossdraw

I like this one..steel hardtop is nice..If I did it again, I'd do a crossdraw, that way it could be used as standard or crossdraw..

not 60$ though, more like 75-80 depending on options..

other folks like crossbreed, leather and kydex..

Andrews makes a good product, good service..

I use a Bianchi Pro 100 for my S&W Commander. Cost about $35 and it clips on so it's easy to put on and easy to remove. It also has a body shield which helps in comfort as well as keeping sweat out of the gun in the summer.

+1 on the Kramer. Andy Aratoonian at Horseshoe Leather over in the UK does some really nice work as well, as far as custom production goes.

Galco's Royal Guard is another pretty good option.

I use a Milt Sparks Versa Max II for a Para Ord commander sized .45. It has always worked flawlessly.

Leather: The Cadillac is Milt Sparks VMII but expect to pay $100 and wait six months. I have one on order for my Kahr. For my small 1911 I've been very happy with my inexpensive NM-Holsters #2. For $40 and only a one week lead time it's hard to beat. I ordered mine with the optional reinforced mouth and a $20 IWB double mag pouch. In pure Kydex it's hard to beat the lightening fast Kytac BraveHeart. Stellar reputation but about a 3-4 month lead time.

For hybred kydex/leather either the Comp-Tac MTAC or the CrossBreed IWB are excellent choices. I own the MTAC and a CrossBreed IWB mag pouch for my M&P. Both deliver in one to two weeks.

I like Wilson combat holsters for my 1911's but they start at around $80.

Ebay is always a good source for holsters, you can try other peoples mistakes without paying full price...
