Description

Featuring a clean, minimalist Askins-style profile, the BLACKHAWK! Leather Compact Askins Holster delivers secure, close-fitting OWB carry for classic Colt 1911 pistols, including Government and Commander models. Designed specifically for left-handed shooters, this holster emphasizes comfort, stability, and a smooth, repeatable draw while preserving the timeless handling characteristics of the 1911 platform.

A fixed belt loop with a trailing stabilizer pulls the holster tight against the waist, improving concealment and reducing movement during daily wear. The injection-molded sight track promotes a clean draw and easy re-holstering, while the reinforced holster opening maintains its shape for consistent, one-handed use.

An adjustable tension screw allows users to fine-tune retention to their preference, balancing security with draw speed. Compact and streamlined, the Askins-style design is well-suited for range use, open carry, or OWB concealment under a light cover garment.

Classic in form and modern in execution, this BLACKHAWK! Askins holster is a dependable choice for left-handed 1911 owners seeking close-fit carry with proven performance.
