I Am Looking For A 1911 Holster Pattern

[gunslinger]

You may be interested in looking at the Classic 1911 100th Anniversary Pattern Pack by Will Ghormley. The pack is offered at Tandy Leather and includes 7 different patterns one of which appears to be what you are searching for, not to mention as with all of Wills patterns you can be assured it will be historically correct......

I know this is a late reply, but it seems to me that the exact pattern for that holster (Para Military Cavalry 1911) is included in Wil Ghormley's 1911 holster patterns, to be released in February of 2012.

Kind of off topic, but looking at some of the patterns in the Wil G.s pattern pack for the 1911, there are a number of them that have fully exposed triggers. I know about the safeties on a 1911, but my train of thought in holster design is that you want the trigger covered. Are the exposed trigger holster designs historic or vintage design that the train of thought was different?

Mine are generally covered, but I agree with you; I'm not a big fan of an exposed trigger on any holster for n automatic regardless of weapon safeties. Many of my revolver holsters are open trigger however.

Not sure if this will help you out very much but Tandy's has recently started selling a pattern pack for 1911's 100 yeaar anniversary. i am not sure how many paterns or what kind but it might be worth a try, as far as the brass, i can usually find some things at lowes or home depot that with a little dremmil tool work makes the perfect use. good luck.

Tandy has a 1911 Pattern pack. It has 11 different designs and magazine cases in it.

The holster you are looking for is a U.S. Model, Right Hand 1912 Swivel Holster, made forthe 1911 .45 auto pistol. Original Rock Island design….

The origional pattern is out there but I was not able to locate it. I located these photos but no pattern (yet).

Hope this helps

I really like this holster but I would really like to find the swivel hardware for another project that I'm interested in. Does anyone know where it could be purchased?

I was able to locate the origional drawing for the holster. I think in the spec's listed the hardware part number is listed. The caveat is the part number is from 1912. Did you try Ohio Bag?
