The Galco CM266B Combat Master OWB holster is a straightforward, field-proven belt slide option built for shooters who carry a 1911 on the strong side. This right-hand outside-the-waistband holster pairs classic leather construction with the practical simplicity of open carry—no retention straps, no complexity, just reliable access when you need it. Whether you're heading to the range, the hunting field, or prefer the directness of OWB carry, the Combat Master delivers the kind of no-nonsense performance Galco has built its reputation on.

Made from quality leather, the Combat Master holster is designed to mold and age with your specific pistol, developing character and a custom fit over time. The belt slide design works with standard belt widths and carries naturally at the 3 o'clock position, letting you move and shoot without the bulk or concealment issues of inside-the-waistband designs. This is gear for shooters who value simplicity and aren't afraid to show it.

The Combat Master is purpose-built for the 1911 platform, so fit and retention are dialed in from day one. If your daily carry, sport shooting, or field work revolves around a 1911, this holster eliminates guesswork and gets you on task fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Galco Combat Master holster compatible with all 1911 models?

The CM266B is engineered for the 1911 platform. Fit can vary slightly with different manufacturers' frame dimensions, so we recommend checking with the maker or our counter staff if you have a less common 1911 variant.

What's the difference between a belt slide and a traditional belt loop holster?

A belt slide design—like the Combat Master—threads your belt through a slot on the holster body, offering a slightly lower carry profile and easier on-and-off compared to traditional belt loops that require you to slip the holster itself over your belt.

Can I use this holster for concealed carry?

The Combat Master is designed as an outside-the-waistband holster and is intended for open carry. OWB holsters typically print under light clothing, making them better suited for open carry, field work, or competitions rather than concealed carry.

Does the leather need break-in or conditioning?

Galco leather holsters develop a custom fit to your specific pistol over time and with use. Many shooters condition their leather gear with quality leather care products, though it's not mandatory for function.
