The Blackhawk Stache Premium Holster Kit delivers modular concealed carry flexibility for Colt 1911 pistols with its innovative base platform system. This ambidextrous inside-the-waistband holster adapts to multiple carry positions while maintaining consistent retention and draw mechanics.
What Makes This Different
The Stache system centers around a universal base that accepts interchangeable shells and carry accessories. Unlike traditional fixed holsters, this modular approach allows users to switch between IWB, OWB, and appendix carry configurations using the same retention shell. The polymer construction reduces weight by 40% compared to leather alternatives while providing superior moisture resistance and shape retention.
Key Features

- Ambidextrous design fits both right and left-handed shooters without modification
- Injection-molded polymer construction weighs just 3.2 ounces
- Adjustable retention screw allows customized draw resistance

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.2-second draw times from concealment across various body types and clothing combinations. The retention system maintains positive lock-up through 500+ holstering cycles while accommodating temperature variations from -10°F to 120°F. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in both patrol and detective assignments where deep concealment remains critical.
