The C&G Holsters 1852100 Covert IWB delivers secure concealed carry for full-size 1911 pistols with a 5-inch barrel. This inside-the-waistband holster combines precision-molded Kydex construction with a low-profile design that maintains accessibility while minimizing printing. The integrated belt clip system provides reliable retention without requiring additional hardware or belt loops.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic holsters that rely on one-size-fits-all approaches, the Covert IWB features weapon-specific molding that creates an exact fit for 1911 platforms. The .080-inch Kydex thickness provides structural integrity without excessive bulk, while the smooth interior finish protects firearm finishes during daily carry. The minimalist design eliminates unnecessary material while maintaining critical retention points around the trigger guard and ejection port.
