Springfield didn\u2019t slap a 10mm slide on a .45 ACP frame, they designed a new gun from the ground up. The dust cover is thick, and the 6-inch has more rail section than a 2002 model M-4. You might be able to find a normal 1911 holster to accommodate the 5-inch, with some minimal fitting. But 6-inch models aren\u2019t that common in any caliber. I suppose I could just go on a hike with a handful of gun,\u00a0but that would get uncomfortable eventually. Besides, I\u2019m retired. I already humped my miles at the low ready.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/springfield-1911-trp-operator-now-in-10mm-full-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"holsters-hand-cannons-springfield-armory-10mm-1911\" title=\"Finding Leather Holsters for Hand Cannons (My Springfield Armory 10mm 1911)\">Springfield 1911 TRP Operator Now in 10mm! \u2013 Full Review<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Fortunately, this week, the problem got solved.

The loop is secured with three Phillips-head screws, which gives you the option to slide it onto your belt or secure it to the straps of your backpack. The drop loop is an add-on feature that sets the butt of the gun approximately two inches lower than it would be if you just had the\u00a0holster on your belt. I really like this option, as it allows me to still wear a pack with a waist belt. It also sets the gun closer to where my hand falls naturally, much like military drop leg holsters.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/springfield-armory-heavy-operator-rmr\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"holsters-hand-cannons-springfield-armory-10mm-1911\" title=\"Finding Leather Holsters for Hand Cannons (My Springfield Armory 10mm 1911)\">Springfield Armory Heavy Operator 10mm w\/RMR<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>My holster came with a retention strap, though a full cover flap is also an option if you&#8217;re really worried about protecting the pistol from the elements.
