Holster for a regular government length [5" barrel] 1911 should work for the commander.

The mailman dropped off a nice 1911 holster yesterday. Marstar, $12.95.
For the price, can't be beat. Holds my Govt's fine, should be fine on a Commander.

I have both Gov. and Commander length guns. The Aker Nichols Avenger I got fits both perfect as it's open bottom is cut to fit a Commander and the Gov. sticks out just a little further.

There are plenty of holsters made specifically for the Commander length 1911. Id there a particular style that you are looking for? I happen to have a Commander sized Minotaur Gladiator that I'm planning on listing in the EE tonight if you're interested.

Otherwise, pretty much any holster manufacturer will have holsters in their line-up that are made to fit a 1911 Commander.
I did a review of a 1911 holster I bought that a cgn member makes. Here is the link: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4117416#post4117416
He can make it to whatever specs you like, colour too. I am very happy with mine and glad to support a fellow cgner

Do the rules say WHY no leather? I'd like to get into IDPA too later on and want to get the "right" kind of holster for a 1911 Norc.
Cheers
I never heard no leather when I took my IDPA course. I have a Sherpa that holds both government and commander length equally well.

The Uncle Mikes paddle holster is about the cheapest you can get that is IDPA leagal. There is also Tac-Pro in Richmond Hill, they make great Kydex holsters for a very fair price. Question, why do you prefer Kydex to Leather?

Ignorance on my part more than likely. I use a BlackHawk Serpa with my 226 and just had it in my head that that's what I needed. On second thought, I've kinda warmed up the the idea of a leather holster. After listening to you all, I've started to like the idea.
If you like the idea of leather, check out Milt Sparks holsters... The best of the best. You actually have to order a Milt Sparks about 6 months ahead. Their waiting list is that long! But their leather holsters are second to none!

It never ceases to amaze me when a person spends good money for a handgun and then goes cheap on the holster. I am sure you can find a nice used quality leather holster at bargain price on EBay, I would haunt EBay until I found a holster I liked.
