Desantis #002 Speed Scabbard Holster For Colt 1911 5" Tan Rh

The Desantis #002 Speed Scabbard holster for Colt 1911 5" is built for shooters who want a no-nonsense carry rig without the fuss of thumb breaks. Whether you're carrying plainclothes, working security, or running drills at the range, this right-hand holster delivers the speed and retention you need from unlined leather that breaks in fast and molds to your gun. The Speed Scabbard uses precise molding and an adjustable tension screw to keep your 1911 secure while staying quick to the draw—no complicated retention devices, just reliable hold and smooth clearance.

Crafted in tan leather, the Speed Scabbard pairs rugged durability with a professional appearance that works on the job or in the field. The belt slots are 1¾" wide, fitting standard duty and casual carry belts. Desantis engineered this design for the professionals and serious shooters who've run thumb-break holsters and decided they wanted something faster and simpler. The tan finish hides wear better than black and ages into a natural patina with use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this holster fit my 1911 from a manufacturer other than Colt?

The Speed Scabbard #002 is designed to fit standard 5" 1911 models, including those from S&W, Sig Sauer, Ruger, Kimber, and Springfield. If you own a different brand or variant, it's worth confirming fit with the manufacturer specs, as frame cuts and rail configurations vary.

Does the Speed Scabbard have a thumb break?

No. The Speed Scabbard relies on precise molding and an adjustable tension screw for retention, eliminating the thumb break entirely. This design prioritizes draw speed for plainclothes and professional carry.

What belt size do I need for this holster?

The belt slots are 1¾" wide, so you'll need a belt that fits that specification. Most standard duty and casual carry belts work well with this width.

How does the tension screw work?

The tension screw allows you to adjust how snugly the holster grips your 1911. Tighter retention can be dialed in for duty carry, or loosened slightly for faster draws during training. Start snug and adjust to your preference as the leather breaks in.
