1911 OWB Kydex Holster

Description

Precision Kydex OWB Holster for 1911 (5″ Government, No Rail)

Engineered specifically for the timeless 1911 platform, this rigid Outside the Waistband (OWB) holster delivers uncompromised security, rapid accessibility, and lasting durability. Designed to safely bear the heavy weight of a fully loaded steel-frame 1911, this rig is ideal for range training, tactical applications, and everyday open carry.

Broad 1911 Compatibility
This vacuum-molded shell is crafted to fit traditional 1911 Government models featuring a 5-inch barrel and no accessory rail. It offers a secure fit for classic GI-style profiles including Colt, Kimber, Springfield Armory, Rock Island Armory (RIA), Ruger, Taurus, and Elite Force.

Fitment Notice: This holster is NOT compatible with railed 1911s. Due to slide geometry, it will not fit Sig Sauer 1911 models with the proprietary “Square Slide” profile.

Accommodating Commander Models
While optimized for the 5-inch Government barrel length, this holster will safely retain 4.25″ (Commander) and 4.0″ 1911 models. The retention mechanism locks onto the trigger guard universally, meaning shorter barrels will securely click into place with empty space remaining at the muzzle end, requiring zero structural modifications or cutting to function safely.

Heavy-Duty .08″ US Kydex Construction
Built to outlast soft leather and nylon alternatives, this holster is constructed from rugged .08-inch (approx. 2mm) Kydex. This impact-resistant material provides a rigid structure that will not collapse or deform under pressure, allowing for smooth, one-handed reholstering. The Kydex shell effectively protects your pistol’s finish from environmental elements and abrasive impacts.​

Adjustable “Posi-Click” Retention
You dictate the draw resistance. Utilizing a reinforced tension screw system, the holster allows you to customize the passive retention pressure. Holstering your 1911 delivers a crisp, audible “Posi-Click”—assuring you that the trigger guard is securely locked without the need for cumbersome external buttons or thumb breaks.​

Adjustable Carry Angle (Cant)
The integrated belt attachment anchors the heavy firearm firmly against your hip to minimize printing and bouncing. Using a standard screwdriver, you can easily adjust the ride cant (angle) from 0 to 15 degrees, optimizing your draw stroke for straight-drop, forward-cant, or traditional FBI-cant carry styles.​
