1911 questions

[JDay]

What 1911, what rail and what light?

Sig Stainless Rail and TLR-2.

Also, you say you're considering having the rail "removed"? Surely you realize that the farther away you get from a stock configuration the less likely it will be that a holster company will be able to accommodate you.

The same holsters will still work and it'll be lighter for carry. Although I may just sell it to my buddy who keeps trying to buy it off me and just buy a non-railed version.

It's hard to find a holster that will take a light. There are plenty of 1911 holsters that will accept a railed 1911 with no light attached.

Any kydex maker will make you a holster with a particular light for the same price as no light...

My 1911 only goes in leather.

OP if you are not apposed to buying used, you can usually find used MC operators, or even a half rail TRP operator here on CG's. Both are great guns. Also SA customer service is great! Should you have any issues.

Raven Concealment makes the Phantom holster that will fit your gun/light.

The following Safariland holsters all work: 6005, 6280, 6285.

Bladetech makes the OWB Holster w/tac light, and 3 models of duty style holsters that will all work.

Those are just 3 companies I looked at in the last 5 minutes.

Have you not looked for a holster, did you want someone to do your homework, or is this ostrich syndrome?

Ok, so you have a personal preference about holster styles and are failing to recognize that there ARE options available.

Brigade Gun Leather will make you a custom leather holster that accommodates a light.

Hiw the hell did you get it for around $1,100?? Mine out the door was under $1,300 otd. I like the stock Pacemaker grip. Most people take them off and I was gonna do the same, but I am very happy with it.

[Whatthepho?]

Find one that also accommodates your light. Out of all my railed 1911 holsters not a single one works with a light attached. I'm considering having the rail removed.

Safariland 6820. Accommodates my light and gun.

I have allot of 1911s, but only one Sig 1911. It now has close to 3k though it and had only 1 FRTB at around the 2k Mark. It seriously eats everything, it will even cycle 10 emptys. Doesn't rattle machined prefect and is a lazer. Sig discontinued the stainless rail I'm gladi got mine.
