JerryShoots Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Just wondered if many others prefer the squared trigger guard on their 1911's Also wondered what holsters others have tried with the square guard successfully? I have 1911's with either welded square guards and also some squared with the power custom heat and bend method. Thank you! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsa Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I think they look good, sort of old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryShoots Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 I ran Glocks for so long that I found the squared guard made my grip feel better. When I migrated back to 1911's I started squaring them. Thanks for your comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 STI short dust cover holsters should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryShoots Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Now that is a good idea! Both my widebody guns are Springers (Para type frames) so I didn't consider the STI/SV frames have the square guard. Thank you for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps to practice on a few cheaper 1911 frames first before you risk your nice Sig. I lucked out when I got mine in that a pal had a junk frame laying around that we could test it on. I learned that heating it up and bending a little at a time helped me keep control of where the metal moved to and more importantly where it came from! Also a very good frame holding fixture is essential. Our first attempt slipped out of the vice. Ordered the frame holding fixture and that problem was solved.
