    I had a colt 1911 .22lr and used a fobus one. It was a railed colt and the holster was made for railed 1911s, fitted just fine and cheap as hell on eBay. Jut make sure your not buying a Chinese knockoff

    Someone had a bag of these up in HH last week:

    Steer well clear of any form of paddle holster, they're a disaster. The Fobus holsters can be very stiff and hard to draw from. I used to have one for a Glock, it took a long time to break it in.

    The CR Speed WSMII holsters are a lifetime investment. Dont go for the model specific and all of the parts necessary to convert/resize it to practically any pistol are included. Don't forget, you'll need a belt and mag holders(4 if possible)

    I have three mags and a three mag holder. I know that barely covers it and its always good to have a spare in case of a jam. so i may get another mag.

    i was swayin towards the fobus c-21 which is designed for 1911s. are they that bad or will it do till i get the money together for a better one.

    My only concern would be how difficult it was to draw. The paddle version would be drawn along with your gun:D. Forgive my ignorance, but is the frame and slide of a Colt .22 the same as the .45 version? Both the US and Israeli sites only mention .45:

    I've heard the paintwork on the GSG's doesn't stand up to much (or was it the Colts:confused:), I'd say the Fobus will crucify it. As for the 80%, I'd be more worried about the 20%!

    I intend to duracoat it and i would imagine the 20% is the .45 barrel and slide

    You should consider a Ghost holster Holster wear will be minimal on your 1911. Also consider safari land. Generally the kydex can be harsh on a guns finish and with a lot of holster presentations your finish will wear quick. It adds character though!!
