Built for the 1911 5" Platform: Secure Fit and Confident Carry
The 5-inch 1911 is a classic—known for its shootability, long sight radius, and iconic profile—but it also benefits from a holster that’s designed to carry the length comfortably and securely. The Galco Avenger OWB is crafted to fit full-size 1911 5" models, supporting stable retention and a consistent draw stroke while keeping the pistol positioned for natural access.
A proper-fitting OWB holster helps reduce shifting and printing, especially with a larger handgun. The Avenger’s shape and belt-slide design work together to keep the holster anchored where you place it—so your carry setup feels predictable, not fussy.
Premium Black Leather: Classic Look, Durable Performance
Galco’s reputation is built on quality leatherwork, and the Avenger reflects that tradition. Black leather brings a clean, professional appearance that pairs well with everyday belts and wardrobe choices while still offering the durability leather holsters are known for.
Why shooters choose leather OWB holsters:
Comfort against the body compared to many hard materials
Durability for long-term use with proper care
Classic styling that looks as good as it performs
A natural fit and feel that many carriers prefer for daily wear
Leather also tends to “wear in” over time, developing a personalized feel while maintaining a supportive structure when built correctly.
OWB Belt Slide Design: Stable, Close-to-the-Body Carry
The belt slide configuration is a major reason the Avenger style remains popular. By positioning the holster securely on the belt, an OWB belt-slide holster can provide a stable platform that stays close to the body—helping with comfort and concealment under an outer garment.
Key advantages of the belt-slide OWB setup:
Reduced holster movement during walking, sitting, or bending
A close ride that helps minimize printing under jackets or loose shirts
A consistent draw angle for improved repeatability
Comfortable weight distribution—especially helpful with a full-size 1911
For many users, this is a “best of both worlds” OWB format: easy to put on and take off while still offering strong stability on the belt.
Right-Hand Draw: Natural Access and Consistent Presentation
This model is configured for right-hand carry, offering a natural draw stroke and consistent grip access for right-handed shooters. Consistency matters—especially with a carry holster—because repeatable grip acquisition and presentation are key to smooth handling.
Whether you’re carrying during daily routines, using it as a range holster, or wearing it for training and classes, the Avenger’s right-hand design supports comfortable access without awkward wrist angles.
Comfortable for Daily Wear, Practical for the Range
The Galco Avenger OWB is a strong choice for multiple roles:
Everyday carry (with appropriate outerwear): OWB concealment can be excellent with a cover garment like a jacket, hoodie, or overshirt.
Range and training: Consistent holster placement and draw feel make it a practical option for repetition and practice.
Field or property carry: OWB access is often favored when comfort and quick access matter.
A well-designed OWB holster helps the 5" 1911 carry more comfortably than many expect—especially with a quality belt and correct positioning.
A Great Match for a Proper Gun Belt
To get the most out of an OWB belt slide holster, pair it with a sturdy belt. A purpose-built gun belt helps prevent sagging, reduces shifting, and improves overall comfort—particularly with a heavier full-size pistol. While the holster does the “holding,” the belt does the “supporting,” and the combination is what makes OWB carry feel stable and secure.
