I have an old flap holster my wife inherited along with a US&S 1911 (and a few other pieces).

The back says Warren Leather Goods Co 1918 J.A.O.

First thought was that it was for the 1911, but it flat out didn't fit so I figured it must be for something else. Poking around on the internet tonight, it looks like it might be a WW1 era holster for a 1911. So if that's right, why doesn't the US&S fit? I literally shoved the gun in as far as I could and still had to wrestle with the flap to get it closed. Then when I pull it out, its harder to get out than it was to get in and lots of shavings come out with the gun. I want to get a military holster for that pistol, are they all going to be that tight?
