I haven't tried myself, but I think the consensus is no.Quote:

Yes, there is a chart over on 10-8 forums that shows what aftermarket rails on 1911's will fit in Safariland holsters. IE, A 1911 with a Dawson rail with an x300 will fit in a Safariland holster that was made for a Kimber Warrior/Springfield Operator and an M3x light and so forth. All sorts of combos out there.Quote:

I agree with the C&S kit, but the beavertail was never an option for this gun. Personally for me, the lack of beavertail is of no significant disadvantage.Quote:

Sure I could fit one that would function, but it would certainly look like a hack job.
Good looking weapon. I like all of the new additions as well.
You can also "Commanderize" a Govt. Model safety by cutting a relief for the round hammer. It's a fairly simple modification and you get to use your Dremel! :DQuote:

The outside shape of most Commander hammers is very similar whether it is a ring hammer, oval hole or skeletonized.
