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.

A perfect match to my Kimber
By R. Haas
I have lots of holsters in my holster box that I never wear, but this one fits me and my Kimber well enough to wear on a regular basis. This supplier had it in stock and priced right. Combined with a Galco belt it is a good choice for concealed carry.

By Mark S. Prestash
This is a great holster. I have a 3" Springfield GI .45 that is often my primary carry firearm. I have several IWB holsters for it, but nothing for OWB carry. I figured with the cold weather approaching I'd be wearing enough layers of clothing to not print with an OWB holster. There are a ton of holsters for 3" .45's out there, but I knew the Galco name from friends & talk at the local gun store. There were only 3 reviews of this holster when I purchased it (all 5 star reviews) so I hoped it would live up to the limited high praise. I was not disappointed.The packaging is basic and opens very easily - no knife or scissors needed. Besides the holster, Galco includes a brief instruction pamphlet telling you how to break in the holster if needed and general maintenance tips. They also include a NRA membership application card (all ready a card carrying member here)and a certificate authenticating the use of US Mid-Western cowhide in the construction. Galco does suggest you purchase a leather softener (that they conveniently sell), but so far I haven't needed it.Now to the holster. This is a joy to wear on my hip. Once the leather breaks in, my firearm is easily drawn and re-holstered with ease, while still fitting snugly into the holster itself. I'm guessing a holstered firearm sits at a 30 degree angle, making drawing quite easy for me. I've been placing the holster behind my right hip, and t is comfortable to walk as well as sit with it on. While seated my firearm does not poke or pinch me at all. The gun just falls into a natural position and I almost forget I'm wearing it. In fact, seated is much more comfortable with this than the IWB holster I generally wear, and that along is worth a few stars. Also, even though the side of the holster that is flush with my body does not cover my firearm's safety, I never feel the safety rub against me like other holsters I have.I can't speak to the durability of the holster as I've only had it for a few weeks, but it does feel very sturdy. There were no loose threads or any other defects that would make me question how well this might hold up.The ONLY knock I have against the Galco holster is there isn't a place for a spare magazine (sometimes 6 shots just isn't enough you know), but I knew that when I bought it, so I'm not taking away any points for that. All this means is that I have to carry spare magazines some other way.If you want an OWB holster for a 3" .45, you do want to take a look at this Galco. You will not be disappointed.

By J. L. HURLEY
I have a nice collection of handguns and I have holsters for all those I carry. I recently purchased a 3" Colt Defender 1911 in .45ACP. I ordered this Galco holster so that it was scheduled to be delivered the same day as I was to pick up the gun. The holster arrived on time at the earliest expected date. Galco makes some beautiful holsters, in my opinion. The outside finish is a beautiful, smooth black. The inside is a natural, not smooth finish which makes for a great grip on the gun. It does fit very snug. I had to wrap my gun in a plastic bag and then keep in the holster for a day or two for it to loosen up enough to be practical. It's still very tight, but not overly tight.Note: This holster fits a 3" 1911 perfectly. There is no barrel left sticking out, nor is there empty space left over from where the barrel stops.The angle of this holster looks to be a standard FBI 15 degree forward cant and it rides fairly high on the belt. This is extremely comformatable for me. The weight of the gun is not even noticeable and there's no moving around or tendency to try and pull my pants down. It's a great combination between gun and holster, one that I could not have expected better.I have a Don Hume holster for my full sized 1911's which is also very comfortable and well made. I would say this Galco is at least as good and I think they're about the same price.
