Does anyone know of a molded holster (like a Serpa or G-Code) that will specifically fit the TM (or WE) Hi-Capa 5.1? I'm really tired of having to dig into a hefty, oversize holster that just slows me down and doesn't even hold my sidearm the way I want. A while back there was supposed to be a version of the G-Code holster that was supposed to fit it, but I'm not sure. I've never held it side-by-side with a standard 1911, so I'm skeptical as to whether it would fit a standard 1911 holster. So. Any help? Experience? Data? I did some searching around, and apparently it should have the same specs as the Springfield PX9105L? I'm not sure if that's accurate. I'd like to hear from someone with more hands-on experience than I have. Thanks!

I know nearly nothing about Hi-Capa guns. I do have a 1911 Blackhawk Serpa Holster though, and if you’re in Ann Arbor, I may be able to find the time to meet up to see if it fits. I found this though if it helps filforce.org/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=1856 Lucky says a 1911 serpa works for his 5.1 hi capa. Are you looking for a drop leg or just a holster? Because you can always go with Kydex, I know a regular at Kalamazoo Airsoft makes holsters falconkydextech.webs.com/

The hi-capa's are much wider than standard 1911s. There is a video that's been floating around for years where a guy modded his g17 serpa to fit, but I've read a lot of reviews where people still couldn't get it to work right even after modding. The lack of a good molded holster is what made me sell mine off. There was a user on Arnies who was using this with his: www.fobus.biz/Holsters/Colt/KMSP/

Eh, it's alright. I'm gonna do what you did, Pagan, and try to sell mine. It's a great gun, but the lack of a molded holster is something I didn't foresee.

Unless you know some fine folks with sheets of kydex, a heat gun, and some boredom you're are pretty s.o.l. for a good holster.

It's not that difficult to make your own.There are countless other tutorials and videos on making kydex holsters. If you have the time, money, and patience, you can make a holster that will fit your gun better than a commercial product. It won't have the button to release and other securities and tacticool doo-dads, though.

How does the 5.1 compare to the Para-Ordnance double stack 1911s? Safariland makes 6004s for Paras.
