The Browning 12903012 Ballistic OWB holster delivers reliable outside-the-waistband carry for Browning 1911 pistols with military-grade ballistic nylon construction. This right-hand configuration features a secure belt loop attachment system that maintains consistent positioning during dynamic movement.
What Makes This Different
Ballistic nylon construction sets this holster apart from standard synthetic alternatives through superior abrasion resistance and tear strength. The material maintains its shape under stress while weighing significantly less than leather equivalents. Browning's specific dimensioning ensures proper trigger guard coverage and retention for their 1911 platform without the break-in period required by leather holsters.
