Craig N Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 How much interchangeability with the 1911/2011 rigs? I'm looking to get a good holster for a STI Eagle and I'd like to be able to use it for my Kimber 1911. Both are 5" guns. I'm looking at Bladetech most.

Braxton1 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 A 2011 holster may be a little loose on a 1911, especially in the dust cover area of the frame. It shouldn't really affect much, as long as you're comparing "1911 vs. 2011 Eagle (not an Edge)". A 1911 dustcover is 0.750" wide. A 2011 standard frame is 0.830 wide and a little taller top-to-bottom. The slide width and overall height will be too darned close to matter. A 1911 will drop right into a holster molded for the 2011, but I don't believe that you'd ever get an Eagle into a holster that is molded for a 1911.

Craig N Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks that's what I was needing to know. I'm going to use a 2011 for IDPA and I might want to use my 1911 from time to time and I was hoping I could get away with just 1 holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
