I have this...

 

 

 

I bought it a year ago when I was planning on getting a something from kimbers 1911 line. it was a little cheaper than the 1911 that I was looking at and l liked it better. I would like to put a c-more holosight on it, a serendipity preferably. But I don't know if any of their models will fit, because they have one for frames with .750" frame width and my frame is .746" normally I would just order it anyway and send it back if it doesn't fit, however my slide width reads 1.18" and since I don't know how much clearence is left for the slide it is a little less plausable that it may work. And It is designed for a 1911 frame, and the slide on every single 1911 I have seen is only a little wider than the frame so I am thinking that it won't have the necessary clearence to work. anyone that has any info or advise please feel welcome to jump in.

 Try over at Pistolsmith.com  If you are not trying to race with a 1911 or at least a CZ or Glock you are beating you head against a wall.

It is a beretta 96G elite II. I am not necessarily going to use it as a race gun, I just want a holo sight on it.

You are taking a gunfight gun and making it more combersome and less carryable. If it's just a target gun go for it but if you carry it  ( just try to find a holster - good luck).

 

I dont think I would put a scope on it.
