The 1791 Gunleather TACIWB1911BLKR delivers secure inside-the-waistband carry for 1911 Government models through precision-molded Kydex construction. This tactical holster combines retention security with fast draw capability for concealed carry applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic universal holsters, this model features weapon-specific molding that creates exact retention for 1911 Government frames. The Kydex thermoplastic construction maintains consistent draw resistance across temperature ranges from -40°F to 300°F. Standard leather holsters soften over time, but this synthetic material holds its shape through thousands of draw cycles.
Key Features
- Precision-molded for 1911 Government 5-inch barrel models
- Black Kydex .080-inch thermoplastic construction
- Adjustable retention screw for custom draw tension
- Low-profile belt clip accommodates 1.5-inch belts
- Sweat guard protects firearm finish from body moisture
- Audible click confirms weapon seating

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.2-second draw times from concealment with proper training. The rigid Kydex shell protects the trigger guard completely while allowing smooth presentation. Law enforcement and civilian carriers report reliable function in humid conditions where leather holsters may bind or stretch.
