In your opinion though which one is more easier to carry / wear all day?

[bensharmak]

@MrDewey85 they both feel the same. it ultimately boils down to how much gun you're willing to carry. the 1911 weighs down a lot more than a polymer gun

Does safriland make a holster that will work with the springfield operator 1911 with light rail?

[bensharmak]

@AdoreYouInAshXI they might. i haven't checked. i know they make the holsters that have the lights attached to them, but i haven't seen any that are for 1911s without the light attached. they might fit in the standard 1911 holster.

From the guys I know who buy gear, the general consensus seems to be that Safarilands offer a bit more security for your gun, whereas SERPAs offer a slightly faster draw.

Also, stay frosty and come home in one piece man, I have a few friends out in A-stan and Kuwait, myself.

@CohorsUrban thanks bro! much appreciated!

@GhostAirsoftUnit I've seen guys use the Serpa leg platform with a blade tech holster mounted on

Hey thanks for this review. I really needed to see this. Would you say there is significantly more play/swing when walking in the safariland than the blackhawk because of only one "pivot" point on the belt where as the blackhawk has two?

Thanks!

What 1911 is that?

[GhostAirsoftUnit]

I hate the fact that I have to buy a blackhawk light. I really like my droplef but it really sucks that I cant really use a light in Cqb when we are training. I hope that blackhawk adjusts the holsters so that the light will mount undernieth like a normal Safariland. So I might just have to use a S aariland.

Nice video. I prefer Safariland, it's not as bulky.

[MrDewey85]

If I can find someone to put a rail on my 1911 so I could have the light I'd so carry that. But right now it's just up in the air. I'm just doing research and day dreaming so when I get the chance I have a better idea of what I want.

[MrDewey85]

From watching your video I really liked the sound of the Safariland where I really didn't think I'd like it at all..... however, I don't like the sound of the light sitution with that holster. So not cool of them to make you use their lights for that.
