Default 1911 similarities between brands and models

Let's take a holster for instance. You get one made for a 1911 5" model. I know a holster wears in for a specific gun and person, but are the different brands similar enough to warrant one holster for all of a given size or should you have a holster for each weapon.. Example. I have a holter by Lane for a DW VALOR, full size 5" 1911. If I get anohter, say from Les Baer, is it similar enough to make no difference inwear patterns? or I have a DW CCO, if I get a nighthawk commander size, are they close enough not to matter?
Thanks
Mike

I have a Wilson pancake 5" for OWB and carry the Wilson fullsize or the Kimber 4" in it..works fine. Also have a Wilson Summer Companion made for 4" IWB that I carry both the fullsize or 4" in never seems to be a problem.
