XdamagedX 248 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 recovertactical.com I also like seeing new ideas sprout up. I also like the idea, but there are already at least 3 solutions to the "no rail" problem. Price doesn't seem to be too bad for someone wanting to toy with it, I've spend more on some holsters I don't even use. You can already: Hold a light, have a rail mechanically attached to your pistol, or have some forethought and buy a 1911 with an integral rail, or use the excuse to buy ANOTHER 1911. Again: innovation is good, but I'll keep my un-railed 1911. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I dunno, for $50 I think it's kinda cool. Makes sense it was designed by an Israeli, I read somewhere that in Israel you're only allowed ONE firearm. (!) You ARE allowed to have pretty-much whatever accessories you want for it though, which is why other accessory/rail systems have been made there for various pistols.

ShadowFire 220 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 The question is, how does it work out when you holster it? I remember when people would bitch about a railed Taurus PT-1911 not being too holster friendly. I know other railed 1911s are holster friendly but what about this option?

Ronin38 2,117 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Pretty sure you would need a custom holster for that one. Or just a bag of some sort. Quite a few people these days can make custom Kydex holsters, though, so I don't think it would be an insurmountable problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 There are holsters out there for railed 1911s. Just go on any holster mfg website and they list 1911 W/holster or 1911 WO/holster. Sure you can buy one with a rail but it does add weight and you might not use it all the time. Or if you have a regular 1911 and are using it for HD its better to have one hand free as opposed to having to hold a light constantly. Assuming thi is a quality part, this way you can have both.

XdamagedX 248 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 you're 100% correct, there are quite a few holsters for railed 1911's available, but what about the extra mass along side the gun? I'm sure most holsters don't accommodate for something like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
