Four-Style Holster Kit for Citadel® M-1911 Compact
Shop the four-style holster kit for the Citadel® M-1911 Compact (3.50in), which builds a Mini Slide, Pancake, Snap Retention or Thumb Break for right-hand carry. You choose Black or Espresso 8-9 oz cowhide, and the kit is USA-made.
Picking the style comes first on this kit. Mini Slide is a slim belt slide that sits high with an open top, and Pancake lays two leather panels flat around the gun, relying on belt tension for the hold. Snap Retention fastens a strap that releases with an upward pull, while Thumb Break secures the gun with a snapped strap that a push of the thumb releases on the draw.
No matter which of the four you build, the leather comes pre-cut and travels with the mounting hardware, eyelets, waxed thread, threading needles, sandpaper and 6-inch burnishing tool you will use on it. The pattern is cut for the M-1911 Compact with a 3.50-inch barrel, so check your model before ordering, or ask us to confirm. If you carry something other than a Citadel®, look up that maker under DIY Leather Holster Kits.
