Model: SM2-266RB / SKU: SM2266RB / UPC: 601299023031
All-day carry comfort with fast, confident draws. The Galco Speed Master™ 2.0 is a premium OWB (Outside-the-Waistband) holster that blends the convenience of a paddle with the stability of a belt rig—so you don’t have to choose. Built from premium black leather with precise molding for popular 4"–4¼" 1911 pistols (Kimber, Springfield Armory, Colt, S&W 1911SC, Para USA), this right-hand holster offers a sleek, low-profile footprint, reliable retention, and a draw stroke that feels natural from day one.
Why the Speed Master 2.0 OWB Stands Out
Two Ways to Carry: Ships with a removable paddle for quick on/off use—no need to thread or unthread your belt. Many carriers also appreciate the included belt attachment option for maximum stability.*
Open-Top Speed: An open-top design with a reinforced mouth enables a swift, vertical draw and easy one-handed reholstering.
Precision-Molded Leather: Premium steerhide is hand-molded to support consistent retention, protect the trigger guard, and maintain its shape under daily wear.
Tunable Retention: Adjustable tension hardware lets you dial in the exact hold you prefer—tight for active days, a touch lighter for range work.
Concealment-Friendly Profile: A slim body shield helps keep the slide off your skin/clothing, while the holster’s contour hugs the body to reduce printing under a light jacket or overshirt.
Built for Working 1911s: Engineered around classic 4" and 4¼" 1911 slide lengths with standard-height sights for carry, training, or off-duty use.
*Belt slot/attachment sizing varies by package and firearm model. Verify the slot width and included components for your setup.
Confirmed Fit List (Selected)
Fit can be affected by rails, optics, tall/suppressor sights, flared dust covers, and add-on lights/lasers. For best results, use standard-height sights and non-railed frames or confirm fit with your exact configuration.
Carry Comfort & Control
Contoured Paddle: Rides securely against the hip with a discreet hook/lip to resist holster pullout during the draw.
Balanced Ride Height/Cant: Optimized for a natural firing grip acquisition and smooth presentation from concealment.
Edge Finishing: Rounded edges and smooth burnishing reduce hotspots during long days at the range or on the move.
Ideal Uses
EDC/Concealed Carry: Quick on/off paddle convenience for everyday errands or discreet carry beneath a light cover garment.
Range & Training: Open-top access and tunable retention support consistent reps and strong reholsters.
Professional/Off-Duty: Leather durability and molded retention deliver reliability when it matters.
How to Set Up & Use
Unload & Clear your 1911; verify chamber empty.
Adjust Retention: With the unloaded pistol holstered, tighten/loosen the retention screw until draw and reholster feel right.
Choose Your Mount: Run the paddle for quick on/off convenience or swap to the belt attachment for maximum stability (where included).
Set Ride/Cover Garment: Wear at 3–4 o’clock under a light jacket, overshirt, or hoodie; confirm a clean, snag-free draw.
Dry Practice: Conduct unloaded draw and reholster reps to build consistent, efficient mechanics.

Care & Maintenance
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth; allow sweat/rain to air dry naturally—avoid heat sources.

Keep the holster free of lint/debris that can abrade your firearm’s finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with commander-length 1911s?
Yes. It’s molded for 4"–4¼" 1911 slides, including Commander-length (e.g., Colt/S&W 1911SC/Para USA 4¼").
Is the paddle secure enough for training?
The contoured paddle with a belt catch is designed to stay put during a strong draw. For maximum stability, use the belt attachment option when available.
Will it fit railed or optic-equipped 1911s?
Many railed frames, tall sights, and slide-mounted optics alter fit. For best results, use a non-railed frame and standard-height sights, or verify compatibility with your exact build.
Can I adjust the retention?
Yes—tension hardware lets you fine-tune hold strength to your preference.
