Hi there I'm looking to put one of these on my 1911 and I just wanted to get an idea of one with a light mounted to the weapon.  Pics are great too.  Thanks guys

You should check out Hilton Yam and his site the 10-8 forum. They all highly recommend using this rail for guns as its small and allows use of regular holsters as well. Hilton is a SWAT cop in FL and a 1911 gunsmith.  His site has tons of cop talk there with respect to dawson rails and 1911s of various makes and flavors.

Those look interesting, I wouldn't mind being able to mount my TLR-2 on my Kimber.

The Dawson rail only works with Surefire X200/X300 weapon lights.

Yup, if you want to mount your TLR-1 you'll need the add-on rail that Noval makes.  It's not as small and compact but will add the rail you need.

Doesn`t Wilson make a rail for the 1911?
