Galco Combat Master 1911 5" Rh Blk

The Galco Combat Master 1911 5" Right-Hand Black holster is a premium steerhide inside-the-waistband (IWB) option purpose-built for the 5-inch 1911 platform. This holster delivers full slide and barrel coverage with a traditional pancake design and forward butt cant—geometry proven to minimize printing while supporting reliable draw strokes across a broad range of belt configurations.

Constructed from premium steerhide, the Combat Master accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide, providing a stable platform for duty, off-duty, or civilian carry. The butt-forward cant—a feature favored by law enforcement and armed professionals—positions the grip angle for faster target acquisition while the pancake profile naturally breaks up the holster outline against the body. The right-hand configuration is standard for dominant-side carry. Steerhide leather naturally molds to the firearm's contours over time and resists moisture better than many alternatives, a practical consideration for sustained daily carry in varied environments.

This holster is engineered for users carrying modern 1911 platforms in professional or civilian contexts where concealment, retention, and consistent access matter equally. The design appeals to officers seeking IWB versatility, firearms instructors managing multiple platform requirements, and serious enthusiasts who prioritize proven leather construction over polymer or hybrid alternatives. Galco's emphasis on traditional leather craftsmanship has made the Combat Master series a benchmark within the 1911 holster category for over five decades.
