Product description

The Concealable holster is one of Galco’s most recognizable and innovative belt holsters. Its unique two-piece construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, keeping all the molding on the front of the holster, allowing for significantly more comfortable carry and a narrower profile than an ordinary pancake type holster. Hand-molded to fit specific handguns, the Concealable features a deeply hand-molded exterior for excellent retention properties and superior appearance, combat grip accessibility for speed, double-stitched seams for durability, and covered trigger guard for safety. The Concealable is constructed of premium saddle leather and made to fit belts up to 1 1/2". Made for both semiautomatic pistols and double-action revolvers, the Concealable is available in right or left hand designs in black or havana brown finish.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this fit a springfield 1911 Range officer elite
Answer:	I dont think so I have a 1911 5in kimber,it fits snug,but holds it great. ( sorry wasn't much )
Question:	Can right hand holster also be used for cross draw
Answer:	Interesting question. I use the Left Hand holster carried on my right side. It places the 1911 in a position that conceals better on my body profile and greatly reduces the "bump" or "tenting" of my shirt worn over the holstered gun. I discovered this quite by accident in a store that offered both left & right holsters and was intrigued by the difference it made to wear the left hand holster that way on the right side. Also, I find that my right hand goes to the grip very easily and draws without kink or difficulty. As a matter of fact it might even facilitate coming out from under a shirt tail more effectively. I now have Galco's to fit all of my 1911's and they are all left hand holsters worn on the right. But to the point of your question, I have tried cross-draw and find it is too awkward for me to pursue.
Question:	Will this fit a Dessert Eagle 1911 G
Answer:	i don't see why it would not it should fit any full frame 1911 only problem i have with the holster is the inside is rough and scratches my gun.
Question:	Will this fit the Springfield Range Officer
Answer:	As long as it's basically a standard configuration 1911 5" barrel I don't see why not. The extra add ons a Range Officer has shouldn't hinder it because it's still a standard size 1911.

Product description

Our Miami Classic is quite possibly the most imitated shoulder holster system in the world. A direct descendant of the original shoulder system first introduced by Galco in 1970 (then the Famous Jackass Leather Company), the Miami Classic has since become the favorite of professionals worldwide. A key component of this patented shoulder system is its spider harness. All four points of the spider harness pivot independently and are connected by our unique clover shaped Flexalon swivel back plate, which is a Galco trademark. This results in a perfect fit and lasting comfort for all sizes and shapes. This system is constructed of premium saddle leather and includes holster, harness, ammo carrier and a set of system screws. The Miami Classic is fully modular. Optional accessories and components may be purchased separately. Made for semiautomatic pistols, the Miami Classic is available in right hand draw in tan or black finish.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this fit a browning 1911-380 black label (4.25 inch) with rail
Answer:	I am carrying either a Dan Wesson VBOB (4.25 in) or a Springfield EMP 4 (4 in) in the V-Hawk holster...it's TIGHT but will losen up with use. Neither of those 1911's have a rail. I imagine with even a light rail it's going to take some work to stretch the leather enough.
Question:	I have a kimber rcp - a 3.3" barrel with crimson trace laser grips. should i go for the 3" or 4" holster
Answer:	Go for the 3 inch. You will have a TON of extra leather if you get the 4. I have a 4 inch tactical pro 2. And i still have a good .5 inch of extra leather.
Question:	Will this fit the 4 inch railed kimber
Answer:	No it will not fit the railed models-this holster fits the 4 and 4.25 inch standard 1911 profile.
