I have an STI 2011 similar to the STI VIP. The STI pistol has a square trigger guard. I use aholster madeby Backwoods leather in Portsmouth for a Colt Double Eagle to carry concealed IWB. It works fine, but I was looking for a heavy duty commercial made leather holster for open carry. Does anyone know of one that is made for 1911 pistols with square guards. Due to the round trigger guards molded into most holsters my pistol sits about 1/4to 3/8 inch too high in those holsters.

They also have a line of 'leather lined' Kydex that they get out a lot more quickly; might be worth a call or an e-mail...
Good luck with your search.
