I used to own a TM 4.3. It didn't fit inside my 1911 Blackhawk serpa because of the squarish shape, so I modified the serpa and it worked perfectly. I don't know if this is possible with your particular combination?

First I losened the screws on the holster to give me a little bit more play inside the holster. I placed the holster near a very mild heat source so that the plastic would give a little, then I inserted the 4.3 slowly and looked where it was too tight. I used a thin and rounded metal file very carefully to give me a little bit of room, only where needed. I did this very gradually until the 4.3 went all the way inside but very tightly. Kept filing gradually. I kept the 4.3 inside the holster at night until the plastic of the holster took the shape of the 4.3 where needed. Filed some more until it was perfect... Best holster I ever had.

Not sure this will work for your particular set up because your rail looks bigger (from memory), you will need a good eye to calculate it. Maybe you will have to make two slots on each side of the holster to accommodate the rail? As long as the body of the 4.3 is held tightly you can modify the lower half of the holster.
