The Galco CM212B Combat Master is a time-tested outside-the-waistband (OWB) leather holster built for shooters who carry a 1911 and want a straightforward, dependable rig. This right-hand belt slide design has earned its place in the rigs of competitive shooters, law enforcement, and serious civilian carriers who prioritize accessibility and durability over mall-ninja features. If you run a 1911—whether for sport, duty, or personal defense—the Combat Master delivers the kind of no-nonsense holstering that works year after year.
Galco's leather work is known for holding up to hard use. The belt slide construction keeps the holster firmly seated on your belt while allowing relatively quick draws, and the OWB geometry means you won't be printing under a cover garment if that's not your carry plan. The black leather finish is classic and works across most belt colors and clothing palettes. This is the kind of holster that gets lighter and more comfortable with break-in, not the other way around.
Whether you're training at the range, competing in matches, or carrying every day, the Combat Master doesn't ask much of you—just a 1911, a sturdy belt, and a willingness to trust leather that's been refined through decades of real-world use. It's built for the shooter who knows what they want and doesn't need a holster trying to be everything to everyone.

The CM212B is an outside-the-waistband design, so it sits outside your pants on your belt. It's not designed as a concealment holster and will print under most garments. It's best suited for open carry, range use, or situations where concealment isn't a priority.
The Combat Master is a belt slide holster and will work on most standard duty or gun belts. A sturdy leather or reinforced belt rated for holster carry is recommended to maintain secure positioning.
The CM212B Combat Master is configured for right-hand draw. If you need a left-hand version, you would need to check Galco's product line for their left-hand compatible option.
