Hi all! New to the forum so please forgive me if I am asking a repeated question.

I am running a Sig Sauer 1911 Tac Ops with the TLR-1HL for a duty weapon at work (stock iron sights with no additions or modifications to the gun other than the light). I currently have the Safariland 6280 series holster and just don't really care for it. I was using the Blackhawk T-series with a Glock before I got my 1911 and fell in love with the holster, but Blackhawk does not (and is not planning to) make a T-series for a 1911. I have looked all over the place for a duty style holster for my gun/light combo but can't seem to find anything other than the Safariland.

There are thousands of options for concealment holsters but nothing I can find for duty. I would prefer to stick to a tried and true manufacturer but I am willing to give a lesser known manufacturer a try if you all have experience with it and recommend it. Ideally I would like to find a low ride level 2 with the option of spacing the holster away from my body (I have a 28" waist and the gun tends to hang up on my external carry vest on draw sometimes). I have no problem going to a different light, different ride height or different retention level if need be, or making any accommodations needed to find a holster that will work, other than going to a different gun!

Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated.

The problem you’re going to run into and which you’ve found out, is no one accommodates the sig line of 1911s. One of the guys at work ran one and was stuck with the same 6280. For whatever reason sig decided to be different in their 1911 slide dimensions than everyone else. sorry not much help but it’s slim pickings for that gun.

To move it out from the body slightly I always add the QLS system to my holsters for work.

I have absolutely no idea if it would work, but Staccato does have the Blackhawk T Series Level 2 and Level 3 holsters. They supposedly work with the XC and other 5 inch pistols. It would require switching to an X300 and even then it is a gamble with the dimensional differences of the Sig 1911 slide, but it could work out for you.

I've used the drop kits and spacer kits before and they help but it's the holster itself I don't care for.
