Choosing the right holster for tactical defense demands balance: fast, reliable access while maintaining secure retention and comfortable concealability. A quality leather holster that’s been handmolded and stitched can deliver that balance for duty or everyday carry.

GALCO COMBAT MASTER is built with saddle leather doublestitched seams and a handmolded fit to provide a predictable draw and rock-solid retention. The open top design offers a swift draw and presentation while detailed molding provides secure retention. The buttforward cant allows effective concealment of even a large defensive handgun. The Combat Master has an open muzzle and fits belts up to 1.75″. It lists compatibility with Ruger Security, Service, and Speed Six 4″, Smith & Wesson K-Frame 4″ (101966), and Taurus 66 4″.

Design & retention

Handmolded fit and doublestitched seams

Handmolding creates a holster that hugs the firearm’s contours, reducing movement and ensuring consistent draw angles. Doublestitched saddle leather increases seam longevity under stress—important for daily use in rugged environments.

Open top and detailed molding

The open top design enables a fast, unobstructed draw. Detailed molding around the trigger guard and frame provides passive retention so the firearm remains secure during movement yet releases cleanly on the draw stroke. The open muzzle accommodates slightly longer barrels while maintaining a discreet profile.

Carry profile and practical use

The buttforward cant improves concealment by tucking the grip toward the body, which is especially useful with larger defensive handguns. Because it accepts belts up to 1.75″, you can pair it with sturdy duty or carry belts for stable mounting. The open muzzle and precise molding make it well suited for defensive scenarios where a rapid, reliable draw is essential.
