The Galco YAQ212B Yaqui OWB black leather belt slide holster for 1911 pistols is a no-fuss, time-proven carry solution built for shooters who value simplicity and reliability. Designed specifically for 1911 models with 3–5" barrels in right-hand carry, the Yaqui delivers the straightforward functionality that's made it a staple on range belts, duty rigs, and hunting carry for decades. Galco's leather craftsmanship means this holster breaks in to fit your body and your gun, not the other way around—and it'll still be in service years from now.

If you're carrying a mid-size or compact 1911 and you want a holster that doesn't overthink the job, the Yaqui checks the box. The belt slide design rides close and stays secure, whether you're at the range, in the field, or conducting business. Black leather matches just about every belt and wardrobe, and the minimalist profile won't catch on clothing during the draw. This is the kind of holster that works the same way every single time—no kydex creaks, no retention adjustments, just leather and steel doing their job.

Galco has built its reputation on this kind of straightforward, functional design. The Yaqui OWB isn't packed with tactical features or premium finishes—it's packed with durability and fit that carries real pistols all day long. Right-hand draw, built for the 1911s you actually use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this holster fit my 1911?

The Yaqui OWB is designed for 1911 pistols with barrels between 3 and 5 inches. If your 1911 falls within that barrel length range, this holster is built for it. If you have a longer or shorter 1911, check the model specifically—Galco makes variants for different barrel lengths.

Is this holster suitable for concealed carry?

The Yaqui is an OWB (outside-the-waistband) belt slide holster, which means it's designed for open carry or situations where a covering garment is worn. It's not engineered as a concealment holster, so plan to wear it with appropriate clothing.

What's included with the Yaqui?

You receive the holster itself. The product is the holster only; a separate belt may be required for carry, depending on your setup.

Is this a right-hand or left-hand holster?

This model (YAQ212B) is configured for right-hand draw. If you need left-hand carry, Galco offers left-hand versions under different model numbers.
