LowryWeaponsSystems Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Im in the market for a new open holster and I really like the way the DAA holsters work, but I have heard of some negative issues with 1911 interchangeably. The main reason Ive been told boils down to the trigger guard. And since every manufacturers frame is different there are fitment issues. Basically if it's too thin then the gun wobbles in the holster. But what constitutes to thin, what is the standard for 1911s? Does anyone have this holster with no frame wobble? If so can you mesure your guard? So is there a way to get around this? Can the holster be shimmed or new parts made larger if my 1911 is loose? I want to stay away from the muzzle holder option. I'd hate to spend all that money to find out it doesn't work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy69 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Get the Ernie Hill holster. It is adjustable to fit any semi auto pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hello: DAA for an open or limited gun. Blade Tech or Comp-Tac for single stack or even limited. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I went through this last year, with 3 different gun manufacturers, Nighthawk Custom, Springfield Loaded and an STI Spartan ( which has since been sold and a 9mm Springfield RO replaced it) None of these 3 would fit ' comfortably' would they have fallen out ? probably not just didn't feel secure. I ended up going with a JR Micro for my 'race' holster, fits all three and does feel very secure. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMaus Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) The DAA Racemaster can be trimmed for wider trigger guards. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV0t-2bVu8w Edited March 23, 2016 by BMaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowryWeaponsSystems Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 BMaus, thats only if you have a tight one to start. My trigger guard is skinny the other way But no worries gang, Saul has emailed me and told me that i can get a tighter fitting "tooth" just by asking. And from there i will have to machine to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I didn't think there was anything they could do for the Racer? The Racemaster has the interchangeable bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If the fit of the standard 1911 insert is too loose, DAA can supply a "tight 1911" slide lock, which you can modify according to the instructions mentioned above. This will pretty much guarantee a perfect fit. Some shooters prefer the optional muzzle support on round trigger guard guns, like the 1911.
