The Galco Combat Master (Galco part no. CM228) is a long-running, classic outside-the-waistband holster built from premium tan steerhide in Galco’s pancake-style silhouette. It rides high on the belt for a fast presentation and stays open-topped for a quick draw without a retention strap to release first. A tension screw lets the wearer tighten or loosen the fit to the individual pistol, so the holster can be dialed in rather than staying fixed out of the box. Galco has built the Combat Master line for decades as a concealment-focused, minimal-leather option for shooters who want a proven design rather than the latest trend.
