A snap cap wouldn’t keep it out of battery to let the trigger actuate. I believe he’s saying he uses it as an alternative to the cardboard in the breech face method
I would think a Safariland 5197/5198 would fit. I had a safariland designed for a STI Edge and was able to confidently use it with an eagle and 1911's as well. You might still have to adjust the tightness, but would work for both better than a RHT double layer holster.
Your best bet is to get two guns with the same profile.
Good info. Im in the same boat with the TTI guide rods. Definitely need something lighter. Does anyone stock these or do you have to order direct from wolff?
40cal mags are likely going to have a spacer welded into the back which will keep a 1.18 oal round from fitting the mag. I cannot speak to the sig mags specifically, but in general that is the case. They are designed for factory length 40 rounds.
I never had any issue with Wilson 47d or etm .45 mags for 40. I gradually shifted to the Tripp 10mm mags for the “40 minor” reasons stated above. But if you have .45 mags on hand, they’ll most likely work with your 40.
Also of note, there is a subforum dedicated to airsoft. You can probably find the info you are looking for there.

after breaking my 3rd one, i gave up on the idea of airsoft as a legitimate training aid. That being said, in the OP's situation, I'd probably reconsider it.
I had the big hands version and it was definitely heavier than the limcat magwell.
My akai limited gun is right at 40 oz with a plastic grip and limcat magwell... which is just about perfect for me.
I have this issue too with one of my guns. It seems to be mag specific combined with the specific gun. I.e. I KNOW mag 4 is going to cause me issues with my match gun and 23+1 in the gun. Mag 2 is going to work fine at 23+1 and mag 4 is going to work fine in my practice gun. I need to load up my problem mags to capacity and let them sit for a bit to see if the spring will set and allow that extra fraction of space to allow reliable feeding across all the mags/guns.
You can pick up a used Trojan in .40 for well below your budget. Outside of the tiny uspsa circle, nobody wants a .40 and values can be had. I found one in a pawnshop for less than $800 not too long ago.
Hoping JJ has success with a beretta open gun... but honestly would not be surprised if he pulls a KC/Max and has a 2011 "beretta" open gun built eventually.
