The Safariland Model 5198 is a purpose-built belt holster for the Colt 1911 Government that bridges the gap between competition speed and everyday carry practicality. With its open-top design and low-cut sides, the 5198 gives you the quick draw access competitive shooters demand while staying compact enough for concealed carry. Whether you're running IDPA/USPSA matches or carrying daily, this right-hand holster delivers the balance of speed, security, and comfort that serious 1911 shooters expect.
Built from thermoformed SafariLaminate, the 5198 is engineered to handle constant use without breaking down. The material resists wear and maintains its shape through years of draws and reholstering, while the STX finish keeps the exterior looking solid through all conditions. A trigger guard detent and adjustable tension device work together to lock your gun in place during movement—no rattling, no shifting—giving you the retention peace of mind that defensive carry demands.
Flexibility comes standard: the 5198 ships with both an injection-molded paddle attachment and a belt loop, so you can choose your carry method and dial in the ride that works best for your setup and comfort. Whether you prefer the quick detach convenience of a paddle or the secure, low-profile belt loop configuration, you're covered out of the box.
