I have a couple of RS 1911s, and they are a tad too slim for me. But a 2011 just may be too wide.
Could someone please do me a favor? If you have a KP-05 and/or KP-07 and a caliper, would you be so kind to measure:
1. Grip width at the trigger level?
2. Distance between depressed grip safety and the trigger?
I know it would be best to fondle the real gun, but I don't have that option.
Thanks.

I've got a KP-05 here are some measurements:
grip width at trigger height (measured just below upper grip screw): 33.7 mm
the grip width varies from around 33 mm to around 35.5 mm from top to bottom of the grip (the tanio koba markings are on a raised background which is slightly thicker)
distance between depressed grip safety and the trigger (no pressure applied to trigger): about 69 mm
I cant really offer that good of advice as I don't have any experience with any of the other models listed, but I would recommend the KP-05 just in general. It seems very solid, well built, and decently accurate for stock. It also kicks hard enough (on propane) that if you aren't gripping the pistol firmly with a good stance you can lose a bit of accuracy on the first maybe 5-6 shots. I would imagine co2 would kick harder but I've never actually ran mine on co2.
