1911 Inside Waistband (IWB) Holster

G.I. Style 1911 Inside Waistband (IWB) Holster — Fits Standard 5" 1911s

This Inside Waistband (IWB) holster is designed for the classic G.I. (GI) style 1911. Fit and retention are validated with an authentic 1911 pistol and confirmed to work with many standard 5" 1911s from Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Rock Island, and similar manufacturers. Shorter 3" and 4" 1911 models will fit but may leave extra room at the muzzle. This model is not compatible with railed 1911 pistols.

Precision Fit & Construction

Each holster is vacuum-formed from a precision-machined mold created from CAD data of the firearm. Every unit is formed, trimmed, and folded in-house, then tested with the actual pistol to confirm fit and retention. Retention is easily adjustable so you can dial in draw tension to your personal preference.
