After years, decades, actually, of shunning the 1911 platform and the .45 ACP, I've come to the realization that, not only do I like them both, but the 1911 may suit me better than anything else I've shot.

So I've been thinking of a Government 1911 in 9mm. Then I got to thinking "Hmmm... Maybe a 2011? Maybe even an STI/Staccato?" Then I got to thinking "But my holsters..." (Well, only one holster, so far, but I've more planned.)

Thus the question: Other than grip size, which, depending upon the holster design, may or may not be an issue: Are 2011's holster-compatible with 1911's? That is: Assuming both have, say, Government-sized frames?

I am not sure how you are using the name 2011

2011 was the name of an STI double stack 1911 pattern model that they introduced, I guess in 2011

If you are using 2011 to indicate double stack STI, yes they make a fine product

The only issue you might have with your leather is the difference between a railed frame and a standard frame. Also sometimes the polymer double stacks have a different shape to the trigger guard

This frame was made by BUL in Israel



With the exception of the grip area, all other dimensions are the same as any other 1911.

I use the same leather for my double stacks as well as my single stacks
