The DeSantis #002 Speed Scabbard fits the full-size Colt 1911 with a 5-inch barrel and rides on the belt for fast, repeatable draws. This is a right-hand model built for shooters who want speed over concealment compromises, which makes it a common pick among law enforcement, plainclothes carriers, and competition shooters. The open-top design skips the thumb break entirely, so retention comes from precision-molded leather rather than a strap. Beyond the Colt platform, the same cut accommodates 5-inch 1911s from S&W, SIG Sauer, Ruger, Kimber, and Springfield. See our full lineup of 1911 holsters for related fits.
DeSantis builds the #002 from premium unlined leather, molded to the 1911 frame for a snug fit that holds the pistol without a retention strap. This model includes an adjustable tension screw, letting you dial draw resistance to your preference and break-in. The belt slots measure 1.75 inches wide, pulling the holster tight against the body in a high-ride position that keeps the grip accessible and the muzzle off the hip. Reinforced stitching adds durability over years of daily wear, and the anatomically contoured shell follows the natural curve of the body. Overall dimensions run 6.65 by 1.55 by 8.2 inches at roughly 0.3 pounds, and the holster is made in the USA. It's offered in black and tan.
If you carry a 5-inch 1911 on a daily basis and want a draw that doesn't fight you, the #002 Speed Scabbard earns its place on a stout gun belt. The high-ride cut and 1.75-inch slots favor a sturdy belt, so pair it with a proper carry belt to keep the rig from sagging under a steel-frame pistol. It suits range days, duty rotations, and concealed carry under a covering garment. Browse our broader selection of belt holsters and dedicated Colt holsters to round out your setup.
Yes. While cut for the Colt 1911 with a 5-inch barrel, the same shell accommodates 5-inch 1911 models from S&W, SIG Sauer, Ruger, Kimber, and Springfield. The fit relies on the standard government-size 1911 frame and barrel length, so any full-size 5-inch 1911 in that pattern should seat correctly.
This model is a right-hand draw configuration. It is designed to be worn on the strong side for a right-handed shooter. If you need a left-hand setup, check our holster listings for the corresponding left-hand cut.
Yes. This version includes an adjustable tension screw, so you can tighten or loosen draw resistance to suit your preference. As unlined leather, the holster also molds to the pistol with use, which firms up retention over the break-in period.
The belt slots measure 1.75 inches wide, so a 1.75-inch belt threads through cleanly. A stiff, dedicated gun belt is recommended to support the weight of a full-size steel 1911 and keep the high-ride position stable throughout the day.
Yes. Per DeSantis specifications, the #002 Speed Scabbard is made in the USA from premium unlined leather. It carries reinforced stitching for durability and is offered in black and tan finishes.
