High-riding pancake design for improved concealment
Open-top profile for an unobstructed, direct draw

This CM312 variant is precisely molded for the Kimber K6S 2" barrel revolver, ensuring that the cylinder, trigger guard, and frame are securely supported.

Functional Characteristics
The Combat Master’s open-top design allows a full firing grip to be obtained while the Kimber K6S is still holstered, supporting efficient draw strokes. The butt-forward cant assists in bringing the grip closer to the body, aiding concealment while also promoting a natural wrist angle during the draw. galcogunleather.com+1
Functional highlights:
Open-top for unobstructed access to the revolver’s grip
Passive retention via detailed hand molding around the frame and cylinder
High-ride geometry for easier concealment under light cover garments
Full slide/barrel coverage relative to the 2" K6S barrel for additional protection of the firearm’s finish OpticsPlanet+1
The pancake-style profile distributes the holster’s footprint across more of the belt line, which can improve comfort during extended wear and help stabilize the revolver by reducing shifting during movement.
