Galco CM266 Combat Master OWB Leather Holster 1911 Right Hand Tan

The Galco CM266 Combat Master delivers rapid draw capability and secure retention for 1911 pistols through its open-top design and premium leather construction. This outside-the-waistband holster positions the firearm at an optimal draw angle while maintaining a low profile against the body.

What Makes This Different

The Combat Master features Galco's signature belt slide design that eliminates the bulk of traditional pancake holsters while providing superior stability. The open-top construction allows for lightning-fast draws without thumb breaks or retention straps that can snag during critical moments. Premium saddle leather and hand-molding techniques create a custom fit that actually improves with use, forming to the specific contours of your 1911.

Key Features

• Open-top design enables sub-second draw times without retention device manipulation
• Premium saddle leather construction with hand-molded wet forming process
• Belt slide design accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
• Fits full-size 1911 pistols including 5-inch barrel Government models

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-1.5 second draw times from concealment with proper training.
