SIG has to make their 1911's resemble a SIG and to that end the lower part of the slide is "stepped", which precludes a normal Commander holster from fitting. I know that SIG 1911's aren't the most popular ones out there, but there is nothing else that fills the bill. Any 4.25" 1911 out there is either built on a full size frame or a steel one. Any Officer's size frame comes only as a 3" (which I definitely DO NOT want), plus the SIG takes down like a normal 1911 - none of that unecessary full-length guide rod crap, or bull barrel - a 1911 the way John Browning designed it (with the exception of the external extractor and firing pin safety). One mold/form would accommodate three different SIG models - The Compact 1911 - which is as described but with a steel frame and no dehorning; The C3, which is the RCS without the dehorning and the, desired, RCS. Don't know what I expect of this post - just venting I guess. To me there are NO substitutes for a Spark's VMII (I have three now), but I really don't want to entrust a new gun to the vagaries of UPS or FedEx, plus pay the exorbitant freight and insurance to send Sparks the actual gun. Quandry - thanks for listening.
Adios,

Sir, we have a lot in common as far as searching for the perfect 1911based on our requirements. Every single requirement you describe above was also my needs. And that's how I ended up with the Sig GSR C3. And after 300+ rounds from this fine pistol without 1 single issue, I knew I had found the perfect CCW (my opinion of course).
And now you're trying to find the perfect holster for your new baby. I will agree with you that VMII is one of the best. I have others to show you as well.
So the good news is - The Milt Sparks Versa Max II for commander size
WILL FIT your Sig 1911. I promise you, and I have proof to show you.
First, here's one of my favorite CCW....My C3:

My Mitch Rosen ARG-DL was the only holster, were I had to loosen it up a little by wrapping 2 plastic grocery bags and leaving it in for about 5 hrs. After that, it fit like a glove.
As far as the VMII and Uncle Lou goes, they both fit WITHOUT FORCING them in. I'm hoping my pictures can justify my conclusion.
I gain nothing to try to convince you to go with the VMII. I just thought I could help out based on my experience. It's up to you - Good Luck! And CONGRATULATIONS on your new RCS!!!
Here's a couple one more:
