Railed Springfield Trp Dummy?

[Colt Hammerless]

Has anybody here used a dummy to mold a holster for a railed Springfield TRP? If so, what dummy did you use? I'm thinking the Blackhawk dummy might work. Here's a pic of the TRP: http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?version=28

Here's a pic of the Blackhawk dummy to compare: http://www.opticsplanet.com/blackhawk-demo-gun-colt-1911-grey-44dg1911gy.html

The dust covers are different..the S/A slants towards the muzzle, the Blackhawk Demonstrator slants backwards...at least in the pic..ill have to look at mine and make sure...as long as you arent doing to much detail, it should work...

Renegadelizard,

Yeah, I noticed that. I also was thinking if I didn't press in too much detail there that it might work.

Mncarpenter,

I think the blue gun you listed will probably work best. I was looking at how many slots there are in the rail (3 in the TRP and 4 in the Operator) and figured the dust covers must be different lengths. But, looking at it closer, it looks like the covers are the same length and there's just different distances between the slots. Since I won't be pressing in any detail into those slots, that won't matter. Plus, the slide scallop is the right shape.

Thanks Guys!

As far as the slots go on the rail, I fill 'em with Bondo and sand- on the dummy gun . Nothing worse than a gun that won't come out of the holster

I was thinking about making some wood plugs to fill the slots, but bondo may be easier.
