Race Holster for Rock Island Pro Ultra Match 1911 A 2 HC
I bought a 1911 DAA racer for it and it doesn't sit down far enough in the holster for the barrel and holster to sit parallel. It isnt milled high enough up in front of the trigger guard like my govt 1911 is thus not letting it sit down in the holster like it should. Anyone else run into this? Know of a holster that will work? Thanks in advance!

You have a photo of the set up, gun and holster?? From the race holsters I see at the range something doesn't sound right. The muzzle sits on a nub and the trigger guard gets locked in with nothing touching the front of the trigger guard
Looking at their web site there is an insert, from DAA web site Quote:

Can't help with your holster, but having seen a guy or two push his gun out of a clip-on holster like that, just by squatting or sitting, I'd recommend a holster that covers the muzzle, like the Safariland 014.
I'd be leery of any holster that needs a lock to prevent the gun from falling out.

Unless, after unlocking it and while assuming the start position, the gun falls out.
There's no speed advantage to that type of holster, compared to one that has to have the gun lifted 1/2" to clear the muzzle. There's also no chance of forgetting to unlock that style of holster. Race holsters should be about going fast, with safety, security, and simplicity, and the clip-on holsters compromise the last three with no speed benefit.

DAA Race Master Holster
After long hours and many phone calls, I bought a DAA Race Master trigger block for a Para and within a few minutes with my dermal I had a good fitting race holster.
