Galco states on their website that this version of the Halo Belt Holster is compatible with only Kimber and Smith & Wesson 1911s, but as long as you have a traditional slide and frame dimensions, I would tend to believe that their holster would fit dozens of 1911 models on the market today. At the moment, you can get it in Right- or Left-Hand with a classic Black Leather aesthetic at an MSRP of $138.

• Premium steerhide
• Retention strap with reinforced thumb break
• Fits pistols with popular attached weapon lights from Surefire and Streamlight

Galco - July 2024 - Take back the night with Galco’s Halo™! Designed to comfortably carry a pistol equipped with a weaponlight, the Halo remains compact enough for realistic concealment of a light-equipped pistol.

Most real-world use of pistols – whether by law enforcement officers or lawfully armed citizens – occurs in hours of low light. Plainclothes officers and civilians who prefer to equip their pistols with a weaponlight need a holster that is compact enough to conceal, yet fast and fumble-free to draw.

Enter the Halo. The Halo’s vertical orientation allows a smooth draw without cocking the wrist, while its thumb-break retention strap combines positive control of the pistol with a fast and efficient draw. Riding high and close to the body, the Halo also offers excellent concealment of the large pistols that are typically equipped with weaponlights.

I can respect a solid 1911 for home-defense as a nightstand type of gun, but how many people in the audience reading this are still toting one for everyday carry (EDC) with a weapon light?...
