I also have an MTAC for IWB and while not as comfortable to me it does hide well.

DO NOT OPEN CARRY ON THE BASE UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! That being said several companies make concealable holsters for 1911's mine is a Comptac IWB I am a big guy so it's easier to conceal, what ever you end up with don't but a cheap holster or belt.....quality makes the difference especially for the heavier 1911.

looked at the PJ holsters webpage and I am intrigued by what he has those deep concealment rigs look like they would work nice carrying a large frame auto.

Deep Concealment with a G22. I just trough it on for the pic.
I carried a 1911A1 for many years without a holster, both in uniform and not.
I was a short 5-7 and 155lbs back then and had no problems.
Tighten your belt a little, barrel down, butt forward on your kidney, your strong side. Don't tuck in your shirt and that's it.
It will ride up a little as you drive but will slip back into position easily.
My department at the time required uniformed officer to carry the issue S&W Model 67. I did and carried a back-up... 45ACP. No complaints from anyone. I was range officer and made sure my qualifications with the 45 was on the books.
I still love my 45s and find it easier now that there is soo much more of me but now as an old retiree carry a littler 40 cal, not a glock!
Be safe,
