Taurus 1911 With Rail ~ Anyone Have One They Wanna Sell?

[ShortBBL]

Crap. I'm just about to start a holster for a Taurus 1911. I'm going to build up the bottom of the rail and extend it a bit. That should work, I hope.

Build it up BIG and FAT..... what an ugly gun! What were they thinking?

Good luck and let us know how it ends up fitting!

Thanks

Only stitch along the top of the slide and then wet mold then stitch along the bottom of the frame? I use a Dasco Pro # 431 Scratch Awl which I Diamond Ground on a belt sander for cutting holes and a stitch guide I picked up from Joans with holes set in lines at different centers along the edges and also crossing from corner to corner in an X pattern. It also is clear with graph lines on it.

It really helps with hand stitching, I also use some French curves I have from doing Mech Design years back for my curves and such.

mm, just a thought...

Oh, I trimmed it along the holes where I get 5 stitches per inch about an 1/8 inch from the edge of the holes so I can set the reveal as needs along the weapon itself.
