Bill, I've been EXTREMELY happy with my Simply Rugged

"Cumberland" IWB. I carry a full sized 1911, with an appropriate belt, and it's the best system I've found, for me. I wasn't sold on the clips until I tried them... they work with Rob's design, period. AND they allow me to fine tune the positioning a lot easier than my various Sparks/Alessi/ etc etc holsters do, even the snap-around versions. The width of the holster and distance between clips make for comfortable, secure, and discreet carry.
What won't work with this system is thin/high rise/ translucent shirts, or certain patterns that accentuate the heel of the MSH. Your uncle's bobtail might not present that problem.
I am not saying that rig/weapon are ideal for me, all the time. But for how I dress and the situations into which I put myself, it works very well, most of the time.
When belt carry isn't appropriate, I make damn sure to have a bag or innocuous zipped case with me.
Ol' Rob knows his way around the block, for sure.
