Description
The Combat Master has been Galco's benchmark revolver holster for good reason. This is serious leather built the old-fashioned way, with premium steerhide and double-stitched seams that'll outlast most people's gun collections. When you strap this on, you know it's built to last.
What Sets the Galco Combat Master Apart
The pancake design is the real star here. Those twin belt slots sit on either side of the holster instead of behind it, which pulls the whole rig tight against your body. Your revolver rides high and stays close, disappearing under even a light shirt or jacket. It's not just about looks either, that forward cant naturally angles the grip toward your hand, making the draw feel smooth and intuitive. The open top keeps your firing grip completely accessible, which matters if you care about presentation speed.
Built for Actual Use
You're getting premium steerhide throughout with clean double-stitched seams that are there for durability, not just aesthetics. The leather is hand-molded to these specific revolvers, so retention is excellent without feeling over-engineered. Your gun sits snug without requiring some retention strap system. The holster will soften and break in with use, actually conforming better over time. An open muzzle design means you're not stuffing the barrel into thick leather, and it clears fast when you draw.
What You're Getting
This fits S&W K-Frame revolvers with 4-inch barrels (Models 10, 19, and 66), plus Ruger Security-Six, Service-Six, and Speed-Six models with 4-inch barrels, and Taurus 66 4-inch. The belt slots accommodate belts up to 1.75 inches wide, so it works with modern carry belts. Right-hand draw, tan leather.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the CM114 fit my revolver, and how tight is the retention?
This is molded specifically for 4-inch barrel K-Frame S&W revolvers and compatible Ruger and Taurus models. The hand-molded fit provides excellent retention without any retention straps or snaps. Your gun stays secure but draws smoothly. If you've got a different revolver, check the compatibility list first.
Does this holster require a break-in period?
Yes. Fresh leather comes stiff, which is actually a good sign of quality. Galco recommends placing your unloaded revolver in the holster for a while to mold the leather to your gun's shape. The leather will soften noticeably over the first week or two of wear, and it'll only get more comfortable as it conforms to your body.
How well does the Combat Master conceal?
That's where the high-riding pancake design shines. Because the belt slots pull the holster tight and the gun rides up and close to your body, even a 4-inch revolver stays covered under a light shirt or jacket. The forward cant helps too, naturally angling the grip away from your belt line to reduce printing.
What kind of belt do I need with this holster?
You need a quality gun belt that's sturdy enough to support the weight of your revolver. A flimsy belt will sag and make the holster uncomfortable. The Combat Master accepts belts up to 1.75 inches wide, so you've got plenty of options. A proper carry belt makes a huge difference in how the whole rig functions.
