serpa holster for 4.3 hi capa

[curlyk]

Does anyone know where I can find a serpa type holster that will fit a TM 4.3 hi cappa? I tried my friends 1911 serpa and the square shape of the lower frame keeps it from going all the way in, might fit a 5.1 hi cappa though. Would prefer a serpa but any rigid type holster would work, the soft universal holster I have keeps ejecting my mags mid game

Thanks

It's been posted/found out that a Glock Serpa will fit a 4.3

their is another thread by an american somewhere buried in here. A 1911 serpa for a xyphos light will also fit and properly engage. I have one that i am about to sell.

The Blackhawk SERPA Lv2 holsters will fit a TM 5.1 or 4.3 with one of two mods:

1. Replace the grip with a KJW Tanio Koba grip. This will run you between $40 and $70 depending on where you source it. The replacement grip gives you the right rounded trigger-guard so it locks in perfectly. I've done this mod on two different guns -- it's a fairly easy project for someone new to taking their guns apart.

This is what the Tanio Koba grip looks like:

The YouTube link is Illusion's TM teardown video -- he was very helpful when I did my first grip replacement (I also bought the grip from him). You'll find him on the forums here.

2. Use a Dremel or other tool to file down the trigger guard and/or the serpa holster to make it lock into place. There are several accounts on the forums of people doing this, though I've never seen it done.

I have modded the trigger guard to fit a serpa holster before, you don't need much tools to do it, hell I did it with a lighter, a gerber, and some sandpaper. (not kidding here) All you need to do is cut off the straight corner and round it out till it fits

If you read the thread he's talking about a 4.3, not a 5.1
A 5.1 fits a 1911 Serpa fine. (I use one for a 5.1)

The hi-capas (4.3 and 5.1) have a squared-off trigger guard. I had a 4.3 dual stainless and a 5.1 stainless. Both did not fit in my SERPA 1911 until I replaced the grip.

talk to huang from airsoftdepot and he will make one repro for you.

You can also modify the inside of the holster. Doesn't take much.

Yep. I mentioned that above, but I'd never seen it done so I couldn't say for sure if it would work.

It would be awesome if someone would post pics and link to the TM sticky thread. If I had been able to see how to do it, I would have been willing to try it.
