The Galco Combat Master CM880 delivers fast draw capability and secure retention for Springfield XDM 4.5" pistols through its precision-molded leather construction and open-top design. This outside-the-waistband holster eliminates retention straps while maintaining positive weapon security through exact fit tolerances.
What Makes This Different
The Combat Master features Galco's proprietary leather molding process that creates weapon-specific retention without mechanical devices. Unlike generic holsters that rely on adjustable retention screws, this design uses precise leather forming to grip the trigger guard and frame contours. The open-top configuration allows sub-second draws while the reinforced mouth prevents collapse during reholstering.

Field testing demonstrates consistent draw times under 1.2 seconds from concealment with proper training.
