Supposedly works on other brand 3" bull barrels. Might be worth contacting them and see if they make one for the RIA

Colt Lightweight Government ,45 (loaded) 34.75 oz
Para Expert Commander .45 (loaded) 32.55 oz
RIA Commander 9mm (empty mag) 41.51 oz
RIA Commander 9mm (loaded) 45.85 oz

I knew that going in from the specs. Haven't tried to carry it yet so will see how that goes.
