I've looked at about a dozen places and can't find a holster that specifically states it will fit a Springfield 1911A1 6" long slide.
So I called first to see if this holster might work. I was told the barrel would just hang out of the bottom.
Well that parts true, but then it takes at least a minute to get it back out again. The front sight, which I hoped wouldn't be a problem, is a problem. I might be able to stretch the last inch of this holster and make it work. I haven't decided whether to keep it or not.
All that being said, I'm impressed with how well this holster is made. IF I had a 5" the gun would slide in and out with ease. I would definitely recommend this holster for a standard barrel. The only reason for the 4 stars is my personal
problem with my specific circumstances.

I've been a Galco guy my whole career, and I favor paddle holsters such as this for the versatility. I needed a holster for a new gun that I would only use occasionally so I took a chance on this based on the price. For the most part, very satisfied. My pistol fits well and retention is great. My only gripe would be the plastic paddle is a tad too small for my comfort. It may be that I'm used to the larger paddle on Galco's though. All in all, great holster though and I plan to try some other Bianchi products.

I purchased this for my Ruger 1911A w/ 4.25" barrel knowing it was for a full size 1911, but I do leather work myself and shortened the muzzle of the holster and the hammer strap to fit. Perfect!Best paddle holster I've seen with very comfortable fit on my hip with very secure fit of my pistol.
Pros:
- High quality affordable price

This a magnificently constructed holster made specifically for each model gun. It fit my Kimber Ultra Carry II like a glove with exception of being about an inch too long. I like how the paddle fits inside your waist band and belt. It is also a very beautiful looking holster. Makes me wish I was in law enforcement so i could wear it in the open.

This was the exact type of holster I was looking for, a paddle holster in leather with a thumb snap. The holster adjusts easily for height and angle making it a perfect for my style and use. The weapon fits perfectly and the shipping was pretty quick. I would purchase this holster again for other types of guns that I have.

If your use to a paddle holster this one is for you. I carry a full size 1911 sig sauer under a t-shirt can't see it. I love it, easy to put on and take off. Recommend putting the firearm in it and leave it for a couple of weeks to form to the firearm.

I've used many makes and models of different holsters, and this is one of the good ones. Bianchi makes quality gear, and this holster continues to uphold that standard. The leather is high quality, and the paddle, while a little on the small side gets the job done. It fits my glock 21 nicely, and I have used it for both duty and ccw applications. With that being said, definitely easier to conceal during late fall and in the winter. I would buy this holster again in a heartbeat.

I have been looking for the perfect holster for my Sig Sauer P226. After researching it on-line on and off for months I finally bought this Bianchi 59 Special Agent holster from Optics Planet. Never been sorry. The fit is just right.

Bianchi 59 special agent is a very high quality holster. fits my 9mm Taurus P92 like it was made for it. expect to have to work the retention strap just a little to get it broken in. holster is solid and is a very good looking holster. adds a nice touch of class to your side arm. paddle is easily adjustable for cant and height, which is a feature not found on most other holsters from other makers. this one was also priced well and is cheaper than some others that don't have the cant and height adjustment features. it keeps the gun fairly close to the body and would be concealable under a jacket or vest. good product.
