Because it’s hand-molded to the specific slide and frame profile, you get a snug, form-fitting holster that offers excellent passive retention and a clean, professional look.
High-Riding Pancake Design for Comfortable Concealment
The Combat Master uses a traditional high-riding pancake design that places belt slots on either side of the holster. This pulls the gun tight to the body, helping a full-size defensive handgun all but disappear under a light cover garment. Palmetto State Armory+3Galco Gun Leather+3Pelcher Outdoors+3
Key concealment and carry benefits:
For many users, that classic pancake OWB style hits the sweet spot between concealment, access, and all-day comfort—especially with a 1911.
Premium Black Leather & Double-Stitched Durability
Galco is known for its leather work, and the Combat Master is a showcase of that heritage. The CM266B is made from premium steerhide / saddle leather and finished in a rich black that pairs well with both duty and casual belts. Galco Gun Leather+2Shooting Surplus+2
Construction highlights:
The leather will break in over time, molding even more closely to both the gun and your body, creating that “just right” custom feel.
Open Top with Firing Grip Accessibility
The open-top design of the Combat Master OWB eliminates retention straps or thumb breaks, giving you a smooth, fast draw while still maintaining solid friction retention from the molded leather. Palmetto State Armory+3Galco Gun Leather+3Shooting Surplus+3

Dual slots create a stable, close-to-the-body platform that doesn’t sag or twist as easily as single-slot designs.

Simply thread your belt through both slots and the holster will sit tight and secure all day.
