The Fobus Standard Belt Holster for the Colt .45 and other 1911-style pistols (brand part no. C-21 BH ND) is designed to be retention-friendly, meaning it is extremely difficult to pull the gun free unless the draw is a quick, straight pull in line with the holster body. Built from injection-molded polymer, it stays extremely lightweight while avoiding the retaining straps or moving parts that can wear out or fail over time. The two halves of the holster body are joined with steel rivets, as is the paddle attachment, giving it a durable, long-lasting construction. It is built to fit a 1.75 inch belt and is a low-profile option for daily 1911 carry.
