Default T40

Will a 1911 holster fit a T40? I am still stuck on finding a T40 and wonder if my holster will fit.

Buds has a T40 with standard sights listed for $669, personally I really like the Novak sights on the wife's new T9.

The 1911 seems to be pretty close to Kahr dimensions on many other things. Unless it were a tight molded Kydex I don't know that wouldn't, even then it may still. Worst case, you get it and have to get a new holster later, and use a cheaper one that has a little more forgiveness in the fit until the good stuff arrives.

He can look for a holster while the T is off getting painted green?

I don't have a good answer for you either Jeepster but I do know that my K40 and my 1911's fit perfectly in a couple rigs. My ankle rig would work for either.

I'd guess as jlott mentioned that a leather rig would most likely work. I just got nothing solid to back that up with.

Perhaps some of the lucky T owners around here will break out their 1911 leather and give us first hand take it to the bank information.

PS- Having to buy another holster I suspect will not be a deal breaker for our man Jeepster. Am I right?

I don't have a 1911 holster but I DO have several Browning Hi-Power holsters and the BHP is similar in shape and dimension. On my BHP holsters, the T9 and T40 fit into the holster without any issues on width or on the distance from the top of the slide to the bottom of the trigger guard. The one holster where the T9 and T40 do not fit is where the leather retention strap won't reach around the frame/slide. Apparently the trigger guard of the T9 and T40 is bigger than the one on the BHP.

I hope this helps.

You don't have a 1911? Is that allowed?

Apparently we need to work on this matter post haste. All them lovely 03's should have a nice mil spec 1911 to hang out with.

Hey, Bawanna, you may be the Grand Puba but you're still hijacking the man's thread! LOL!

Au Contraire weedhopper. If you had a 1911 you'd be able to give my good buddy jeepster some helpful information. You have all the ingredients except the 1911?

By helping you acquire the 1911 I'm helping you both.

Sorry jeepster, I'll be quiet and remain in my cubicle for the rest of the day.
I'm so ashamed of my self.

Hello my name is bawanna and I'm a thread hijacker.

Guilty as charged. I have no 1911.
