Members harnessman Posted September 10, 2010 Members Report Posted September 10, 2010 HiI am hoping that someone out there can help me out with this one. I have a customer who wants me to build him a dual clip holder for a 1911 seven round clip. Unfortunately I said yes before I discovered that the guy has some difficulty reading a tape measure! Can someone out there give me a dimension for a clip? Height, width, depth, and angle of the bottom/top. I plan to make a wood dummy to form the leather around. Supposedly it is 5-1/8" long and 1-7/16 front to rear and 1-1/2 " wide, which seems to be awfully wide for a single stack clip. Obviously I am not familiar with this gun so I do not know. Any help would be appreciated.ThanksJim Quote

Members K-Man Posted September 10, 2010 Members Report Posted September 10, 2010 If you'd like, I can send you one to get the dimensions off of. Then just send it back to me. Send me an email if that will work for you. Quote

Members TexasJack Posted September 11, 2010 Members Report Posted September 11, 2010 I just took one out of a 1911 and measured it: Length: 4 3/4 in. Width: 1 3/8 in. Thickness: 1/2 in. They can be a little longer if they have a bumper attached, but usually that would be outside of the holder. Quote

I figgured that the thickness had to be just a little over the .45 of the round. Also a big thanks to K-MAN for your genrous offer to send me a clip to work with. I should be ok with just the dimmentions. Jim Quote
