OWB Thumb Break Leather Holster for Colt 1911 and Glock Models - Right

In this review of the OWB Thumb Break Holster from GUN & FLOWER, the bottom line is that it is a straightforward, well made outside waistband option for right handed shooters who carry standard 1911 and popular Glock sizes. The reviewer found its full grain leather construction and deliberate fit for common service pistols to be the single biggest reason to buy: it balances comfort and retention without bulk. The holster is handmade, allows room for front sights to reduce abrasion, and secures the pistol with a thumb break strap while fitting belts up to 1.75 in wide.

Key Features

• Full grain leather construction: Provides a durable exterior and a comfortable, breathable contact surface for extended carry sessions.
• Thumb break retention: The strap offers positive securement and a quick, familiar one-handed release for users practiced with a thumb break.
• Front sight relief: The molded shape reserves space for the front sight to reduce rubbing and wear on both gun and holster.
• Belt compatibility: Fits 1.5 in and 1.75 in belts so it sits solidly on most duty or everyday belts without excessive movement.
• Handmade finish: Soft, comfortable leather shaping gives a close fit to listed pistol models for a neat profile under a jacket.
• No accessory fit: Intended for pistols without lights or lasers, avoiding fitment issues for users with mounted accessories.

Who It's For

This holster is best for right handed owners of Colt 1911 pistols and Glock models listed such as 17, 19, 19x, 22, 23, 31, 32 and 45, plus Taurus G2C/G3C and certain PT111/PT140 models. It suits those who prefer an outside waistband carry that is simple, traditional, and secure with a tried and tested thumb break strap.

It is not the right choice for owners who run weapon lights or lasers, or for those needing an ambidextrous design or inside-the-waistband concealment. Users seeking modular retention systems or adjustable passive retention may prefer a different style.
