Galco APO212RB APO Strongside/Crossdraw OWB Black Steerhide Fits Kimber 1911 5" Right Hand

The Galco APO212RB is a versatile outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster built for shooters who want the flexibility to carry their Kimber 1911 5-inch either strongside or crossdraw. Hand-molded from premium black steerhide, this right-hand carry holster combines classic leather craftsmanship with practical design. Whether you're running it at 3 o'clock for traditional strongside draw or angled across your body for crossdraw access, the APO adapts to your preferred carry method without requiring a holster swap.

Steerhide breaks in naturally and ages with character while delivering the durability serious shooters expect. The molded construction ensures your Kimber 1911 sits secure and presents consistently for the draw. For anyone carrying a 5-inch 1911 and looking for a single holster that handles multiple carry positions, the APO eliminates the need to buy separate strongside and crossdraw rigs.

This is the kind of practical, no-nonsense gear that works as hard as you do—whether you're at the range, in the field, or carrying daily. Galco's reputation for American-made leather holsters backs up the build quality you'll feel the moment you strap it on.

Can I carry this strongside and crossdraw?

Is this holster outside the waistband?

Yes. The APO212RB is an OWB (outside-the-waistband) holster, which means the holster body sits outside your belt for easier access and comfort.
