Galco Combat Master Description
Looking for a premium quality leather Glock 19 holster, or Glock 23 holster? How about one for G32, G36, other Glocks, or even semi-automatic pistols and double action revolvers from other popular manufacturers like Sig Sauer and Colt?
The Combat Master™ is one of the best available, and it’s a professional-grade OWB belt holster hand-molded by Galco’s experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns, the focus in this piece being on Glock 19, 23, 32 and 36.
Because it is meticulously hand-molded around multiple similarly sized guns, this multi-fit Galco Combat Master OWB holster offers not just an eye-catching appearance, but also excellent retention properties.
The premium steerhide leather used in its construction is dyed either tan or black, and the finishing process through which it went gives the Glock 36 holster an attractive sheen.
To increase practical strength, enhance durability and offer pleasant aesthetics, the seams of the Combat Master holster are double-stitched; however, there is a slight rim pressed around the polished and slicked edges that doesn’t feature this stitching.
As one designed to promote concealment, this belt holster boasts a traditional high-riding pancake-style design that places the belt slots – which fit belts up to 1.75 inches wide – on either side; and, as a holster made with time-sensitive, defensive situations in mind, the Galco Combat Master also features an open top, allowing for very rapid draws.
This Glock 32 holster is canted forward, which makes it ideal for strongside carry; carry nearer to the small-of-the-back is fine as well, and in both positions, active retention ensures an unencumbered draw.
The combination of premium saddle leather, double-stitched seams and hand-molded fit makes the Combat Master concealed carry holster overall, one of exceptional quality.

Galco Combat Master Additional Information
Construction Material
Steerhide which is used to make this Glock 19 holster is a premium bovine leather gotten from the hide of male cows (steers), more specifically from younger beef type breeds. It is known for its consistent grain and weight throughout the hide, and its subtle gloss-sheen that many find attractive results from the combination of natural oils and resins used in the tanning process.
The extra wax added at the tannery during the finishing process of this full-grain Galco Glock holster leather causes it to become burnished, or to patina much more speedily. So due to its quality, the heavy leather ages gracefully and pretty much lasts forever.
Concealability
While it is an OWB holster and as such is meant to be seen, the Galco Combat Master Glock 23 holster is easy to conceal. Thanks to its high-riding pancake-style design with belt slots on either side of the holster, your defensive handgun is pulled tight to your body, making it barely noticeable even under light clothing.
The butt-forward cant helps to reduce printing as well, making it possible to effectively conceal even a large defensive handgun.
The Galco Glock Combat Master blends perfectly with current clothing styles, and – with just about an inch and a half hanging below the level of the belt – will be covered well enough under many clothes such as coats and bowling shirts; this is why it is the favorite concealed carry holster for many.

“I’m very pleased with this beautiful tan Combat Master Belt Holster. The leather, stitching, fit, and overall quality are top notch. It was a tight fit for my Ruger GP100 at first, but the holster fits the revolver perfectly after the break-in process and it sits just right on the gun belt. Thank you for this fine holster!”

“The Galco Combat Master has been my OWB holster of choice for my full frame 1911 for decades. Added the Commander size recently; quality of stitching, leather, molding and overall function still superb from this great company. Easily concealable in town; holds my weapon securely when traversing the woods, yet allows great grip and deploys quickly . And it should last as long and look as great as the full frame. Great product from a great company.”
