All 1911 peeps...stop reading here. Go no further.
Click away...or I won't be able to look you in the eye or hold my head high ever again.
Just go quietly. Now. And don't look back...


OK...


I've done a little research for a paddle holster to fit a Taurus Millennium PT145 Pro Series.
A zillion hits all turned up Fobus, and gave me a specific holster that's supposed to fit a variety of things including ALL the Pro Series, All Millennium, all the PT24/7 and the PT145.

Turns out, we had that one in stock in the shop. I bought it and took it home.
The first foray into trying the fit... not even close. So I grabbed a screwdriver to loosen the retention screws.
Nope.
Nope.
And triple Nerp... even with the screw completely REMOVED. No dice.

I turned to the intardnetz to double check... Yep. That's the right one (so says eleventybillion links), and even image search shows things fitting.

What. The. Frack.

I'm either in search of a fix, in search of a reasonable option, or in search of somebody who's got a correctly fitting one or can point me to one so I can buy it.

I have no idea why this isn't working.
The mister says maybe they changed something about the holster and now it doesn't fit the older PT145...? I've never heard that, but I suppose anything is possible. The fit doesn't even come close.


Yes, that's the backside of the trigger peeking out just at the edge of the holster...

It doesn't fit.

Way. To. Go.
Thank you for that enlightening insight.

 

[cwillour]

Had a 24/7 a few years back and the only options I remember working were a $80+ Galco and a Kydex I had made. If I were to do it again, I would just have another Kydex holster made.

Wish I could be more help.

Obviously it was a misprint/misstamp from the factory and it will not fit any gun, duh

Rabbitdoodle, get back in the break room. You have a calendar to update.

Sell the Taurus and buy a first world gun.

You have a SP11 holster.
You need a SP11b holster.

Yeah, I would go with the manufacturer not knowing what they are saying.
If you look at the trigger guard on the pistol, it is nice and rounded out, yet the guard on the holster is straight. Round peg, square hole.

RabbitDoodle says the heat made me do it.
In a momentary lapse, I went slumming, OK??

It was a cheap quick fix to something I was looking for a solution to...

Don't listen to them Blondie - You can make it fit.
Just post the vid here so we can make fun.


Remember - When in doubt, use a bigger hammer!

 

[rockhopper46038]

No way is that trigger guard a match - which you already know from the posts above.

Now I have to go wash my eyes with bleach.

After my foray into shooting a plastic gun and the accompanying embarrassment of having a pic being posted I can only refer to the above.....
