Usually it's best to check with the holster maker and explain what gun you've got in case something in their design is specific to model. I would say however most holsters will work just fine with either since the dimensions of the critical parts are close enough that it should work just as it should.
Take care!

Older Springfields had a wider, squared off dust cover that could affect holster fit. I don't know the cut-off date for when they came into normal specs.

This is a 2001 Loaded 1911-A1, so I'm thinking that it's "standard" 1911 specs.

Generally yes. But like Luke said if your going custom email with pics to the maker to see if they match up.

Posting a good picture or two so that we can see would help immensely.
