Besides removing the rails completely, I wouldn't recommend "modifying" the rails at all.

The other issue that makes fitment more difficult, is that you are dealing with a block cut slide.

If the rail is an absolute requirement, I would probably suggest getting a custom kydex holster built, as there is no real world holster out there that fits a gun as franken-messed-up as the Tokyo Marui railed-1911 series. It is seriously a rail added on as a second thought, and as such, is one of the worst concepts ever. Why Tokyo Marui didn't just re-tool to create a PROPER integrated rail frame is beyond me. It was a quick patch solution that only created more problems.
