Galco Combat Master Belt Holster for Colt 1911 3" Tan RH

The Galco Combat Master Belt Holster for Colt 1911 3" is a hand-molded, professional-grade leather holster engineered for concealed carry of short-barrel 1911 pistols. Built by Galco's craftsmen specifically to fit the 3-inch Colt 1911 frame, the Combat Master uses a traditional high-riding pancake design that pulls your handgun tight to the body—critical for deep concealment under everyday clothing. The twin belt slots work with belts up to 1¾ inches wide, so it integrates seamlessly into your regular carry setup without printing under a light cover garment.

Constructed from premium steelhide leather with double-stitched seams, this holster is built to last. The open top gives you firing grip access from the draw, and the forward cant positions the handgun for a natural presentation. If speed and accessibility matter as much as concealment in your defensive carry routine, the Combat Master delivers both without unnecessary bulk or complicated mechanisms.

This holster is designed specifically for the 3-inch 1911 platform—Colt, Kimber, or Springfield manufacture—and provides full slide and barrel coverage. Note that it is not compatible with red dot mounted optics, so plan your sight setup accordingly. If you're carrying a compact 1911 and need a leather holster that favors concealment and durability over gadgetry, the Combat Master is a proven option that's been tested by serious shooters for decades.
