What gun is this Galco holster made for?

Recently bought an older left-handed Galco SOB holster, that I think is for a 1911 style pistol. At least it fits my Para P13 very well. The back of the holster is marked Galco SOB 29.

But looking the holster over closely last night I noticed that there is a cutout in the leather liner on the side OPPOSITE of the magazine release (?). I would have thought that the cutout would be on the SAME side as the mag release so as to not accidentally depress the release.

Is this for some other gun other than a 1911? What other gun has the mag release on the starboard side?

You pretty sure it don't say "219"? That'd be the lefty tan sob holster for an officer's model 1911.

You can't run a part number on Galco's web site, and they don't make a S.O.B. holster for the P13.

I've got one in my holster box that carries a 1911 just fine...why not the P13? :confused:

Holster definitely says "29", not "219".

The Para P13 has the same slide length as a Colt Commander.

It could be for a Randall (sp?) 1911. Randall, until they went out of business, made a true left-hand design mirror image of the 1911 w/ the mag release on the right side.

OK you lazy bastards!!


......I emailed them and it is now obvious why the 'cut-out' is on the seemingly wrong side, here is the text of the reply from Galco:

>>>>That left-handed SOB holster was specifically molded to the 3 1/2” 1911s._ Please feel free to contact me if further assistance is needed.
