Hey guys, just got a WA 1911 Kimber with railed frame today and I'm probably going to get a SERPA for it. But I just want to know one thing first: Will the railed frame fit a regular Colt 1911 SERPA? I haven't seen any special "railed frame version" or anything besides just "Colt 1911", so I kinda figured it would fit. But I'd like to know more definitively before I down $80 (dropleg version).
Oh, and one last thing, where can I buy a MagGuard?

IIRC, some railed frames fit and some don't.
But that's nothing a hairdryer couldn't sort out I guess.

Yeah, or a file I suppose. I'll probably just get it anyways and make it fit if it doesn't.  |

A railed frame 1911 will fit into a 1911 SERPA. I had my Kimber Warrior with the rail in my SERPA when I was running a 1911 and it fit just fine. At the most I had to loosen the adjustment screw on it but it fit.

Alright, sweet, that's what I like to hear.
Thanks!

PM Chaseman about the MagGuard, although SERPA's are REALLY good at keeping your mags in, as most cover up the mag release.

Yeah, I've heard about that, but still....WA mags are like $50 a pop and freakin' impossible to find in stock anywhere. I'd rather not lose the one I have (right now). Plus, I like the look of the magguard, and it's only $10.

Here is a link for the mag guard. I also have a 1911 with a serpa and it does help a lot with not losing your mags but I still use the mag guard. $10 is better than $25 for a new mag. Nice link... (ps- that was sarcasm because you forgot the actual link I have nothing else to say) And yeah, unfortunately for a WA it's not $25 for a new mag, it's more like $50 or so... |

My bad I have nothing else to say. Updated*
It also does fit the rail system, which is what I have.

Also, here is the serpa I have with the dropleg platform for way under $80. I don't have this dropleg platform but I do have the Serpa holster and it works great. Also, although it does not say that it is a blackhawk, it is. www.ebairsoft.com/holster-plateform-1911-p-2044.html Ehh...I don't want to wait a month to get it, and I don't trust that it's actually a Blackhawk SERPA. There's no way EB could get and sell a SERPA for $40 and make a profit. I'd rather get the real thing (yeah...I'm kind of a gearwhore like that). Thanks for that link Zorak, though I'll probably just order it from GI since I'll be placing an order there soon for some bb's and schtuff so I can get free shipping. |

It actually only takes about a week and a half maybe 2. Also, it IS blackhawk. It has blackhawk trades on it, and it came in blackhawk packaging.
Update*
If you want, later tonight I can take pics of the packaging and try to get a pick showing the trades.

www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=169739Thanks, I'll pass on ordering from EB... But I would be REALLY surprised if it was ACTUALLY Blackhawk. Since when would Blackhawk outsource their products to China for sale? Trademarks don't mean jack, any chinese clone place can put trademarks on. The packaging though...maybe they copied Blackhawk's packaging? I mean, seriously, there's no way they can sell it for $40 including shipping from China where they go for $80+ shipping in the US and make a profit. He'd be losing money on it, and I don't think he's doing that...

Blackhawk has little shame. Their stuff is made in 'Nam and the Chinese military has been seen wearing BHI Tac Vests while prepping for the Olympic games.
And yet they maintain pretty good quality.
