The DeSantis Speed Scabbard (brand part no. 002BA21Z0) is an outside-the-waistband holster built for 5-inch 1911 pistols, designed for plainclothes carry that skips the thumb break without giving up retention. DeSantis achieves that fit through precise leather molding paired with a tension screw device, so draw speed stays fast while the gun stays put. This right-hand model is finished in black leather with 1 3/4-inch belt slots for a stable, close ride. Among concealed carry holsters, the Speed Scabbard suits 1911 owners who want quick presentation without a manual retention strap to defeat first.
