Galco Optic Solution Shoulder Rig for Kimber 5" 1911, Tan, Right Hand

Modern Shoulder Carry for Today's 1911

The Galco Optic Solution represents a thoughtful evolution of proven shoulder rig design, bringing contemporary features to a classic carry method. This rig accommodates Kimber 5" 1911 pistols configured with or without carry-style red dot optics—whether open or closed-emitter designs.

Versatile Carry Positions

The holster's swivel keepers allow you to adjust between two carry angles:

• Diagonal carry (muzzle up/butt down): Maximizes concealment, particularly effective for longer-barreled pistols and smaller-framed users
• Horizontal carry: Works best for shooters with deeper chests or those carrying shorter-barreled variants

This flexibility ensures you can find the most comfortable and concealable position for your body type and wardrobe.

Retention and Draw

The retention strap features a multi-curved, scalloped polymer thumb break engineered for ergonomic release. The design guides your thumb naturally into the draw position, enabling the fastest and smoothest presentation possible.

For 1911 shooters, Galco's patent-pending deactivation block positively engages the thumb safety when the retention strap is snapped—allowing you to carry in true Condition One (cocked and locked) readiness.

Magazine Capacity

The open-front horizontal magazine carrier holds two spare magazines ready for quick reloads. Twin tension units let you adjust retention to your preference.

All-Day Comfort

The full-grain leather harness features Galco's Flexalon swivel plate, allowing each of the four shoulder straps to move independently. The 1.5" wide straps distribute weight evenly across your shoulders for extended wear without fatigue.

Why Shoulder Carry?

Shoulder rigs remain among the most comfortable carry methods available, particularly for all-day wear. This design combines that comfort advantage with modern optics compatibility and proven retention engineering.
