is this the right holster for a 3" Colt 1911 defender .45?

Im not really sure but i think it would fit. I have a full size .45 and the muzzle sticks through the end about an inch. The holster holds the gun at the trigger gaurd so i am sure yours should fit too

I agree with the previous answers. It fits my Hi Power clone much better. The holster length would fit the commander best. II would go the extra cost for one with tension adjustment.

I think you'll find this holster too long for a 3" gun. My full-size (5") gun sticks out about 3/4 of an inch, which implies a 4" gun will just reach the end of the holster. It should work - retention is on the trigger guard - but I'm not sure you'll be real happy.

I have a 4 inch barrel on a GSG 1911 .22 cal it is the same size as a standard 1911. I will say that the cost is good on this but it is very hard to pull the gun out of the holster and there is no adjustment. I put some lubricant on it and that helped. But I wonder whats going to wear in first the holster or the gun blue.

I haven't seen ANY 1911's that it doesn't fit...so far. so I'm almost positive you will find your Colt fits just fine.

Mine was specifically for the 3" cylinder. At the time it was difficult finding a good holster for the 3". However Blackhawk does or did make a Serpa for the 2 1/2". Since the Serpa series is for specific models, I would say that the 3" holster would not accommodate the 2 1/2" in the manner for which it was designed. I would look for a Serpa that is designed for your cylinder. Hope this helps.

I have a 1911 with a 7" barrel. If you barrel is less than 7", then I think it should fit. My barrel still sticks outside the holster but it's still comfortable, even inside the waist band of my pants.

I don't know but I would think the holster dimensions are the same as the 3" model I have.

my pistol is a xds with a 3.3 inch barrell i dont think the xdm will work in the holster i bought but i think they make one that will fit the xdm

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 just tried it with my full size FNX40 and it fit great... I think the 1911 would be just fine.

The XDS 3.3 9mm is the same size as the XDS 45 so the holster fit would be identical.

I have an xd40 3" & it's too large for this holster the xds is a single stack and fits perfect

Ya it should fit no prob, I bought 2 of em one for my Springfield Armory 1911 and one for my Glock 17 and because they are adjustable both guns fit great. Even the spare mags fit awesome.

I forgot to mention, it will fit better if you mold the holster so it custom fit your 1911.

No sir, this holster is right hand side only and is not very good, with the material it is made and hangs to low when I have my elite force 1911 in it
