Fast, consistent, and concealment-ready. The C&G Holsters Covert OWB is a right-hand, outside-the-waistband holster engineered for 1911 pistols with 3.5" barrels (Officer/Defender-length). Precision-molded from duty-grade black Kydex, it rides close to the body on belt-loop wings for excellent stability, reduced printing, and a clean, straight-line draw. Whether you carry daily or run high-rep range sessions, this Covert OWB delivers the speed, retention, and durability serious 1911 users expect.
Why Choose the Covert OWB for 1911 3.5"
Pistol-specific fit: CAD-modeled and vacuum-formed to the 3.5" 1911 profile for secure lockup, excellent trigger-guard coverage, and repeatable indexing.
Concealment-first ride: Belt-loop wings pull the grip in toward the body to minimize printing under tees, polos, or light jackets.
Crisp retention: Tuned friction retention provides a positive seat on holstering and a snag-free draw on demand.
Duty-grade Kydex: Rugged .08" Kydex preserves shape for one-hand reholstering and long service life in heat, cold, sweat, and humidity.
All-day comfort: Dehorned edges and a smooth body-side finish help prevent hot spots while sitting, bending, or driving.
Training-ready design: A defined sight channel and open-drain muzzle (typical for this series) support debris shedding and faster presentations.

Performance You’ll Notice
Faster, cleaner draws: Rigid Kydex mouth and sight channel enable a straight, consistent draw stroke with less drag on front sights.
Locked-in stability: Belt-loop wings hold the holster tight to the belt line so your ride height and cant remain consistent through movement.
Confidence in reholstering: Shape-retaining Kydex and mouth geometry support safe, one-hand reholsters during training and daily carry.
