Will this blemish the finish on my Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 (PX9151LP)?

The part will not hurt the gun but you are replaceing the slide stop with a longer one to accomidate the adaptor. I had to file mine down a bit to make it fit. it was kind of a pain in the but.

Yes, it will belmish/scrape the finish at the front where it mounts to the lower. The fit is that tight, or at least it was on my Para P-14.

It hasn't caused any scarring or damage to my weapon, but if your Springfield is even a tiny bit bigger frame, it could. It is definitely designed to fit very snug to the gun.

Its designed not to harm finishes, the body is made of aluminum and the tension screw has a plastic bumper on it to keep it from rubbing. It hasn't left any marks on my Kimber in two years of use(yes I normally shoot with it attached)

Mine was on a Springfield Mil Spec with Parkerized finish. I did not use it for a long period, and did not remove and install a lot of times, but it did not harm the finish on my pistol.

The simple answer is Yes. This is a very tight fitting part that usually requires a mallet to tap it into place. As others have said the set screw is buffered by plastic. So your trigger guard is protected but everything else is metal on metal contact. If you only take it off once yearly and very carefully then you might be ok. However if its a regular ordeal then eventually the coating on the rail wears off and it will minorly scratch your frame up. Still a wonderful rail, but metal on metal will always blemish your finish no matter what anyone says to the contrary.

No, either way is fine. Always check them when you clean your 1911. They don't last forever, that is why they are sold as "six packs". They do last for hundreds of rounds, depending what your load is. Just make a habit to ALWAYS check them for cracks and crushes and bits and pieces. Otherwise, they are really great, naturally - they are from Wilson Combat!

My 1911 is a full size Sig Sauer Spartan edition, and one can hear a scrachy noise that it appears to come from the barrel, when the slide is being pulled back and also when the slide its released from that position.For that reason I decide to stop the use of the compensator. Too bad because on my opinion it looks terrific with it.

On a striker fired pistol you need to rack the slide after every test shot. Have the same issue with my Ruger SR45, but not my 1911!

Probably, I've only used this pistol with it, ( UTG Sport Airsoft 1911 Pistol, Heavy Weight, Black ), the surface is fairly soft and sticky, but I have no way of testing it as I have no other weapons of this sort.

Hello, look at your trigger guard is it rounded or is it square on the bottom front. If it's rounded it should work keep in mind that I had to file the rail adapter width to allow it to fit snugly on my gun. And afew other areas of the adapter the filing was very easy with the right files. So if your frame looks and is the same as a large frame 1911 buy this adapter I'm very pleased with mine hope this helped you.

If it's a full size 1911 then yes. If you have an ambidextrous safety you may need to trim the top portion of the right side grip, it's easy to do.

yes, it is starting to scuff the top of the slide on both sides,and you can see where it is rubbing on the inside of the holster, you might be able to heat that part of the holster and reform it a bit but i have not tried it, i had to with the desantis holster i use for my para 1911 so it would not scratch it. good luck

No, my 1911 is a gov. Model with standard blueing on the side of the slide. The compensator has a standard satin powder coat finish over stainless steel. An experienced gunsmith can match the finish for you for little money.

Over time every holster will leave marks I guess, even leather. I have never had a problem with a Fobus. I have a Sig Sauer 1911 in Olive green Matte finished SS. It has not scratched it. I think the plastic is softer than the finishes on the gun.I used to have a Springfield Armory Compact .45 ACP in Black finish. It never scratched it. I'm not sure how many times a day you will draw your weapon though. At the range I don't use a holster..Just for carry and i've never had to take it out...Thank you whoever for that! I think it will be just fine.You could always put a little felt or what's called MOLESKIN inside if you're worried. I just don't think it will hurt the gun.

I have no idea,it just looks way cooler than the first one I got. This is made to look better on a pistol.My .45 semi auto to be exact.

Barb. I've used this holster for the past 4 months and have seen not wear on my finish. Your Kimber should be fine and only subject to normal holster wear. Hope this helps.

Put some silicone spray or "armor-all" on a rag and wipe down the inside of the holster. Then wipe dry. The holster will be perfect.

Got me. I don't have a 1911. Go to sneaky Pete wed site. They have a very good help center to call in to.

Honestly i couldn't speak to that since I don't have any glocks, and haven't handled any in any color but black. It is pretty close to the magpul and the utg fde. Any rough handling and it will just turn black. That color is just some kind of chintzy plastic paint. Really thin coat, couple scratches and your started back in black.

Sig 229 w/ rail was extremely tight. Do not put anything on the rail. You will have to work the leather for a few weeks.

I honestly don't know, I have stainless finish and with everyday carry I don't have any scratches or marks. So far I really like the holster.
