- 1911 5-Inch Colt, Kimber, Para, Springfield
Product Description
The Concealable holster is one of Galco’s most recognizable and innovative belt holsters. Its unique two-piece construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, keeping all the molding on the front of the holster, allowing for significantly more comfortable carry and a narrower profile than an ordinary pancake type holster. Hand-molded to fit specific handguns, the Concealable features a deeply hand-molded exterior for excellent retention properties and superior appearance, combat grip accessibility for speed, double-stitched seams for durability, and covered trigger guard for safety. The Concealable is constructed of premium saddle leather and made to fit belts up to 1 1/2". Made for both semiautomatic pistols and double-action revolvers, the Concealable is available in right or left hand designs in black or havana brown finish.

I purchased this holster for my 1911 Kimber Gold Match. Obviously the 1911 is a full size handgun and you are aware of it's presence. The holster rides high on the belt with a cant that places the grip close to my body just under my ribs. The holster fits on the belt, tight to the hip and stays in place. Drawing from the holster is natural and without effort. Re-holstering is also equally effortless with one hand.As the other reviews have stated when you first get this holster you will think you made a mistake as it is a very tight fit. However, after the break-in my Kimber glides out of the holster, but the holster still retains the handgun firmly so it stays in place. To shorten the break in time I sprayed the inside of the holster with Lexol, a fine leather cleaner & conditioner I have used for years on leather upholstery. I then put a plastic bag over my gun and followed the break in procedure. I sprayed the interior of the holster once again, then placed thin plastic wrapped over my gun and left it in the holster overnight to dry. The next day the fit was still snug, but the handgun drew without unusual effort. Draw-EZ by Galco will make the draw even smoother. I have used holsters costing over $200 and they are quality holster, but for far less than half the money and a little time spent on break-in this holster is ever bit fit for purpose. I would definitely buy this holster again and recommend it to anyone wanting to holster a 1911.

I have a 5" STI Spartan and needed a holster for it.After lots of research I decided on this.As the manufacturer mentions, it is initially a VERY tight fit, but following their advice and wrapping the gun on a polyethylene bag, inserting it and leaving it overnight, it adapts to the gun and works just fine.Well constructed, looks like it will last as long as I will.

I have 30 years experience in Law Enforcement and this holster works well for carrying a concealed weapon. Keeps the gun very secure and close to the body. It also looks good though that is not important to me.
