The DeSantis Gunhide Tanker Holster is a tan leather, US-embossed shoulder-style holster built for standard 1911 pistols. Inspired by the World War II M-3 tanker holster pattern, this DeSantis design gives 1911 owners a practical field-carry option with classic military styling and American-made leather construction.
The tanker holster format places the pistol high across the chest, making it useful when belt carry is inconvenient or obstructed by outerwear, seated positions, vehicle use, field gear, or pack straps. For hunters, outdoorsmen, military-history enthusiasts, and 1911 shooters, it offers a distinctive alternative to ordinary belt holsters.
This right-hand model uses a single shoulder strap and a holster body that can be anchored to the belt for added stability. The tan leather construction, US embossing, and M-3 inspired design give it a period-correct visual character while retaining modern DeSantis Gunhide production quality.
DeSantis Gunhide has been family-owned and American-made for decades, with a long reputation for leather holsters, concealment gear, duty gear, and specialty carry designs. This Tanker Holster continues that tradition with a classic 1911 carry style that looks right with military-pattern, GI-style, and traditional full-size 1911 pistols.
