SABRE SYSTEMS IWB COLT 1911 - Inside the Waistband kydex holster

Product detailed description

Kydex holster for the classic Colt 1911 pistol and its clones for Inside Waistband carry.

CAUTION! This holster is compatible with the standard Colt 1911 pistol in the classic shape and its exact clones (Ruger, Norinco, or others).

It is not compatible with versions with a rail, combat trigger, SIG SAUER 1911 pistols and other models that are based on the shape and construction of the Colt 1911 and are at first glance "the same", but differ in details such as the radii of the upper edge of the slide, etc.

Choose the barrel length in the parameters. 

Like all SABRE SYSTEMS kydex holsters, this holster is compatible with both standard and enlarged controls such as the bolt catch and magazine release button. All of our holsters are Red Dot-ready from the start, regardless of whether the gun is factory-equipped with Red Dot preparation or you've had it retrofitted. Compatibility with high scopes is also a matter of course. Like all our IWB holsters, it has a full sweatguard.

SABRE SYSTEMS internal holsters offer two mounting options.

In the upper part, there are moldings for a classic clip (there are several variants of clips in the menu) with a pitch of 22.2 mm, and two tilt options (0° or approx. 20° forward). These moldings can be used for UltiTuck or Soft Loops, which we consider to be the best and most reliable option. 

Furthermore, above the butt of the firearm from the outside, there are holes for IWB hooks, the second hook is then placed on spacers via retention screws (longer screws are needed). This method is especially suitable for AIWB (appendix carry) carrying.

After much consideration, we decided not to equip the holsters with a longitudinal recess for the UltiClip. It increases the profile of the holster and with the arrival of the UltiTuck it lost its meaning in our view.

The holster has an adjustable retention and a prominent retention point. The pistol goes into the holster smoothly, has minimized friction surfaces, especially on the sides of the bolt, there is little play, which helps to save the finish of the firearm, and locks firmly only after the firearm is fully inserted with a clear and noticeable "click" behind the trigger (in the holster of a holster without a flashlight). When drawing after overcoming the retention point, the gun leaves the holster completely smoothly again. The first screw in front of the trigger is used for tuning the retention (for pistols without a flashlight). In the holster of a firearm with a flashlight, the retention point and lock is on the body of the flashlight, depending on the type and model.

After adjusting the inclination and the bolt of the holster, it is necessary to secure the screws against loosening with a suitable agent (e.g. Loctite).

The holster is designed as closed in the lower part, which does not allow carrying a pistol with, for example, an extended barrel with a thread. .  

The holster is intended only for the given model of firearm, or a combination of firearm and flashlight. A different model of gun or light gun will not fit in the holster or will not be adequately secured. 

When using, observe the safety rules for handling the firearm. Prevent loose parts of clothing or equipment from entering the holster when inserting firearm. Catching them between the holster and the trigger can lead to an unwanted shot and endanger life.  

If dirty, wash the holster from the inside and outside with a stream of running water and dry with a cloth. Do not use solvents or aggressive cleaning agents. 

Do not expose the holster to temperatures higher than 60 °C. Before each use of the holster, check that all screws are tight and ensure that there are no obstacles or foreign objects inside the holster.
