Members particle Posted October 10, 2011 Members Report Posted October 10, 2011 I see that BlueGuns has a Springfield 5" Railed Operator dummy - are the overall dimensions close enough on the Springer that I could use this to form a Colt 1911 5" Railed holster with detail boning? Or is there a better dummy for the Colt? I haven't done any railed 1911 holsters yet and want to make the most versatile dummy purchase if possible. Quote
Members troop Posted October 10, 2011 Members Report Posted October 10, 2011 it should work Particle. you may look up a brand name holster for the Operator and see if the same model holster is named for the Colt as well. the only time i needed the actual gun on a 1911 with a rail other than my Operator mold was when an aftermarket rail system was installed on a S.A. TRP. Tony Quote
Members particle Posted October 10, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks! I responded to your PM Denster. Good idea Troop - I forgot to try that. I looked at Photos on Google, and it looked like the Colt had a slightly wider rail (or the Operator had a slightly thicker frame). Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted October 10, 2011 Members Report Posted October 10, 2011 Blackhawk has a railed 1911 demonstrater gun that also, as a bonus, is molded in the cocked and locked position. Best part is, theyre only about 20 dollars on a variety of websites. Quote
Members Eaglestroker Posted October 10, 2011 Members Report Posted October 10, 2011 I have the Blackhawk Shooter mentioned, and I know for a fact that it will fit a Wilson Combat. Know this doesn't help you Particle but for future reference and searches on the forums. Quote
