If you have access to a Glock 17, I have a couple of Safariland 7TS holsters with WML that I bought but never used.  You're welcome to give it a try.  I've used them a little with X300 and tested with a buddy's TLR-1.  It was a while ago, but I recall the draw being just ok.  I have a couple of 6354DO, both with and without lights, but I mostly use the one without light.  My only comment on those are that many need some dremeling to work.  At least half of mine needed some dremel.  It's easy, but a small hassle.

No.  The dremel is to fit the RDS.  The 7TS don't fit RDS, at least not the versions that I have.  The 7TS work just fine without any mods.

This would be the other issue, to RDS or not. I personally don't like the look of a RDS on a 1911.  So won't have to worry too much. The VP9 is still on the back of my mind. InB4 needing a 6th holster (for RDS). Waste $.

G-Code responded. Their 1911 SOC holster (foreskin) doesn't work for the SIG emperor scorpion. And for the Colt M45A1, it only works for non-WML.

I recall something about the slide geometry or thickness of the top of a 1911 not being ideal for RDS (or something like that).  That said, I've seen a lot of folks with 2011s with RDS, so maybe it's not a thing or the "modern" 2011s were able to account for it. 

I wouldn't mind a nice 1911 with RDS, but it's not something that I need and have lots of things I'd get before that.  At one point, I was considering a CZ Shadow or Tanfo with RDS, but that itch went away. 

Wanna bet you'll have 6+ holsters before too long?   ;D

I can't tell the diff between a 2011 and a 1911. heck, didn't even know a 2011 existed.

Instead of buying a Tanfo, buy 10 1911's with RDS. Same price. :rofl:

2011, aka da double stack 1911. . .

WuTangfos aren't that expensive.  My CZ SP-01 Shadow was pretty darn pricey though.  But still less than my damn Gucci Glocks. :facepalm:

When I first got into shooting more seriously, I never envisioned spending that kind of $$$ on a Glock.  I mean I envisioned eventually one day spending say 3-5k on a nice 1911, but not on a Glock.  Heck, for a while, that's why I didn't get an RDS for a Glock because I didn't see spending more $$$ on an RDS than for the gun.  But then I gave in a went with a Zev slide with RDS (sort of middle ground solution) and light bulb went on. 

And no.  Even if I did have 10 1911s with RDS, none for you.   :rofl:

Just get a Staccato already and when you get bored of it I’ll just buy it off of you.
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

A shooting buddy has one of those.  Pretty sweet.  Didn't want to chance shooting it myself though.  ;D

You have EV, right?  That's $100/month more for gun stuff.   :geekdanc:

Had 1 guy on a 1911 forum state that the Safariland SIG 1911GSR will work with the Scorpion.  Emailed Safariland and awaiting response.

Since PTA are opening in Oct, I messaged Koffin Wurks about how long it would take to bring either the SIG or Colt in.  Cause if it's like a 6 month wait, then I gotta place the order sooner than later.  If Safariland works for the SIG I'm gonna go for that. If not, then Colt it is. 

I looked more into 2011's and they no make them in 45.  Lose money.

Swoosh. . .

Nah, nah, nah.  But you are missing the (at least one) point of them.  Because they don't fit your "feelings".   ;D

For holster, check out the 7TS series.  The one I have seems to be for damn near all 1911 5" models (my personal experience, personal guns and friend's guns, not exhaustive search).  No matter if light rail, etc.  Fits both my 1911s, as well as one with a light rail.

For both, it's the 6000 series when using the holster finder. 

Even if the 2011's came in 45, wouldn't matter cause we limited to 10rds anyways. 1 reason why HK's are out.  So save the extra $ and buy 10rd 1911 mags instead.  And even have more left over for ammo.  Jokes on me though, cause I was on YT and STI's came up (3 year old vid). Swoooosshhh after googling STI 1911's.

I saw them and was like holy cow. If I spend more than $2K on a 1911, I won't want to take skill builders with it or put her in the dirt.  So that's my reasoning for the SIG/Colt.

On a side note, who sells 45 FMJ?  And what were precovid prices?
