I have a compact 1911 (3- in barrel). I know I'm OK on footprint but one review suggested thickness might be an issue. Thoughts?

I think you'll be fine. I have an M9A in mine. The case gaps just a bit because the grips/magazine are so think. A 1911 will definitely be much thinner than mine.

I have a smith and Wesson M&P; pro with 2 mags in mine. I am pretty positive you will be just fine on thickness.

It will not be a problem, it has pick and puck foam you will remove to have a nice fit for your 1911. Soft foam below and above the the pick and puck. You will love this case

I keep a full size 1911 and 3 mags(wide side down) and the case is a perfect fit in both footprint and thickness.

I am pretty sure you will no have a problem. I have one that I use for a lugar and another for a p38. Both fit very well.

Check w Taurus or a good gunsmith. 1911s vary SO much in dovetail size. there are a few charts on line... if you search for DoveTail Sizes on 1911's Good shooting my friend.

As long as it's basically a standard configuration 1911 5" barrel I don't see why not. The extra add ons a Range Officer has shouldn't hinder it because it's still a standard size 1911.

Yes it should have more than enough room for you 1911. The interior has a formed plastic insert that has a velvet feel and its dimensions are as follows. length 10 inchesWidth 6 and 3/8 inchesheight 1 and 1/2 inchesThe insert could be removed as its only slightly glued in place. I added foam sheets cut out to the shape of my gun and currently have it holding a Full size Ruger SR40 and an extra magazine, with room for a few small extras.

Not on my Kimber Custom Carry II. My slide will go at least 3/16 inch past the slide stop. Most 1911s are the same general configuration. Take a chance!

SNEAKY PETE does make a a holster for any 1911 with a 3" barrel. That said, I wouldn't want to carry any 1911 in this type of holster. The LCP is effectively concealed in plain sight by the Sneaky Pete Holster, however, the added bulk of the holster makes it relatively impractical. The size of a 1911 would only add to that issue at an exponential rate!For reference: http://www.amazon.com/Compact-1911-Sneaky-Pete-Holster/dp/B007576OQU

It sounds like you got the wrong size holster. It should fit snug and the barrel should not stick through.

Rodney , i use my DeSantis Sof-Tuck for my Colt Government MKIV Series 80 1911 with a 5 inch barrel. It fits perfectly. I believe your A1 is the same size and shape so i would think it would work just as well for you. If it doesn't fit perfectly at first, you can stretch it out pretty easily......KJB

Yes, 4" or 5" barrel. Check out 1911forum . com there have been a few posts about it.

I have a Springfield 1911-A1 and it fit like a glove. Very comfortable as well. No modification required. Shouldn't be a problem.

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.

I have a 5 inch, but the holster is open, so the shorter barrel should work just fine.

Hi Chris , check out amazon listing # B00JUT5FT8 ( I have this pistol in stock but not listed on amazon as yet but should be listed next week ) description and specs below Colt 1911 pistol Aged finish metal frame and slide Uses 12-gram CO2 cartridges Blowback 18-rd drop-free BB mag* Semiauto Single-action Fixed front and rear sights Ambidextrous, textured grip Manual safety Functioning grip safety Slide stays open when last BB is shot All metal Part of the proceeds donated to the NRA (National Rifle Association) *The manual states the magazine holds 18 steel BBs. However, you may be able to load 19. Sorry, but you cannot request a specific serial number. Serial No. 1 has been donated to the NRA. The 1911 firearm has earned a place in history as the most popular handgun ever made. It makes sense that we'd further honor the service this gun has given with this limited edition CO2 version. The aged finish will remind you of the countless times the firearm was holstered and drawn as the 1911 tended to the business at hand, protecting soldiers and freedom. Own a piece of history and get one of these 1911 CO2 replica pistols. Act now...for tomorrow may be too late!

I dont think so. My Magnum Research 1911 with 5" barrel fits nicely with about 1" protruding out the bottom. But my weapon has no built-in rail. My other weapons with rail will only fit Fobus holsters that specify "with rail" and sadly, not all if them offer that configuration.

This particular spring is designed strictly for the full size 1911. The spring would too long to fit a compact model.

It is the pistol frame size. These were patterned after Old West holsters. Weapons were not quite as thick as today. Keep working the leather you might get it to fit though.
