HOLSTER, FULL-SIZE 1911, RAPID RESPONSE, RIGHT HAND, 1.5" BELT, BLACK SHARK

The Rapid Response® holster by Palmetto Leatherworks, is designed for maximum drawing speed without sacrificing the features required for a quality carry holster. In fact, this holster has all of the safety features of our other carry holsters including the snug custom contoured fit for positive retention and a full-length thumb safety guard. The additional drawing speed is accomplished by dropping the gun just a little lower on the hip and positioning it slightly further away from the body. This allows you to very quickly acquire a full firing grip with less interference from clothing and your body.

Once you have your grip, the wide sight track eliminates the friction of the sight coming out of the holster. The low-cut front lets you clear leather just above the beltline. While this holster is not quite as concealable as the Lo-Profile®, it does bring the butt of the gun inward for concealability and works well for most applications. If speed is your primary concern, you need a Rapid Response holster.

Note: Hand molded leather products are often tight when new and usually require some break-in prior to use. We recommend letting the gun sit holstered with a heavy plastic freezer bag or wax paper around it. Sitting holstered overnight will usually reduce tension.
