Will this holster accommodate carrying a 1911 in the cocked position without modifying the holster?

I carry a Kimber CDPII 1911 in the "cocked and locked" position all the time in this same holster, works great..

It is designed (as is) to do carry cock and lock. A 1911 fits with a Picatinny rail - although the mfg will not endorse that.If you modify the trigger guard area by making the leather wider with a different barrel screw, and removing the front barrel screw, the rig will accommodate a Crimson Trace CMR-201 on the rail.In this Crimson Trace configuration, the carry is hammer down with the strap around the back of the hammer.

Yes-- the Leather strap that snaps around the back of your gun is destined to fit specifically with the hammer back. This allows you to carry with a round in the chamber.

Holster will allow you to carry a 1911 cocked or uncocked with no modification. Galco makes a great product.

Oh yeah you can carry cocked and locked with this holster. It's a little tight but doesn't take long to break in

Yes absolutely. I have worn a blackhawk holster with my full frame 1911 with no issue.

It should, will fit pretty much all standard 1911s without rails, custom sights etc.

No issue with any kind of collaspe, this is a very sturdy holster that retains my full size 1911 yet allows for a smooth draw and return(follow the break in instructions)

If you're not a gunsmith then you will have trouble making it fit any 1911...especially a compact version.

The bottom of the holster is open and should accommodate the longer barrel without alteration. Its not a huge opening, but sizable.

If by glock 23 you mean 1911.... then yes.... otherwise, definitely not. Neither your double stack mags nor your plastic gun will fit this holster

Holster is designed for large frame handguns, the hold down straps are adjustable and i tried a bersa 380 and it really doesnt fit. 1911 fits like a glove.

Yes, but not well. It it a tight fit, and for most, that defeats the purpose of a holster that you need quick access to (the gun).

All my 1911s have hd's. All of my existing holsters work with them. I don't have your specific holster though.

Definitely not. This holster is not designed to be worn inside the waistband.However, it is a great holster.

Absolutely. I carry a 1911 government model on the vest. And no the barrel is not exposed out of the bottom. No need to buy Serpa holsters.

The pistol will fit in the holster but the retention strap will not secure the gun.The strap is designed to hook over an exposed hammer. They should disclose this in the product description.I found out the hard way.

Not unless it is built into the grip. The holster is made to fit snugly with no accessories.

Yes, but the barrel of the firearm will protrude about an inch from the back side of the holster. I have carried 3", 4", 4.25" and 5" 1911s with it. For me it is most comfortable with the 4", least comfortable with the 5". However I now use it exclusively with my DW CCO (4.25").

I am sorry, but I do not have a 1911, with or without light/laser combo. I use it for a Glock 17 which fits fine. However, looking at the holster again, I suspect it would not hold the configuration you are describing as there is no extra "play" when my Glock is in the holster.

I currently have a Kel-Tec PF9 in the holster but there is some play. The length would not be an issue with a 1911 because it is open on the bottom. It would be tight but I do believe it would fit. The holster pocket is an elastic material that will stretch an give, but appears durable. Try it and return if it doesn't fit.
