1911 with square trigger guard mold

[OldNSlowMarine]

Does anyone know of a source that is making a 1911 mold with a square trigger guard? With the release of the Springfield Armory Emissary line, I'd really like to be able to make holsters for them. I've already contacted John at Ring's and there's not enough requests for them to justify producing molds yet.

Cut the round one off . . . screw on a piece of pine . . . and shape it on a belt sander . . . 

Piece of cake.

May God bless,

Dwight

Maker's Leather .com has the 1911 with the squared trigger guard.

Do you mean Maker's Leather Supply? If so, I'm not seeing it. They only carry Blue Guns. Blue Guns does not produce a 1911 with a square trigger guard. They make a Staccato 2011 which has a square trigger guard. But that's not at all what I want. Big difference between Springfield Emissary 1911s and the Staccato 2011s.

Thanks for the input. I have considered something along these lines. But that's not my first course of action. That's why I'm here asking if anyone knows of any molds yet.

I saw one on MakersLeatherSupply.com the other day.  Sorry if it's not there any longer.

Although Dwight's Solution would probably be stronger, I too didn't want to permanently alter my blue gun. So, took a chunk of hard wood and rough shaped it ( on the belt sander) then finish trimmed it with my pocket knife to final shape so that when placed on the front of the round guard, it mimicked the Squair guard on my son's pistol. I temporarily attached it with contact cement and used black tape to secure it. Worked for me. The tape and glue came off without much effort and a little rub down with peroxide cleaned up what little residue that was left.

I make molds for trigger guard mounted laser sights that same way, I just use tape to attach them. Works fine for me.

Glad to see I'm not the only redneck on here  This makes at least 3 of us . . .
