GALCO
STINGER Belt Holster for Pistols
The Stinger follows the KISS principle: it carries a small pistol or DA revolver behind the strongside hip; the open top and forward cant allow a fast, easy draw. A covered trigger guard, deep molding and a tunnel-style belt loop that takes up little belt space add safety and stealth.
The name GALCO stands for “Great American Leather Company”. Founded in Chicago in 1969 and based in Phoenix, Arizona since 1983, the company says it remains committed to manufacturing in the USA.

- Glossary
Open Top* – No thumb break, strap, or cover over the grip. The firearm is secured by the leather's tension alone, allowing the fastest possible draw. Forward Cant* – The grip tilts slightly forward. Particularly suited for appendix carry position (front of waistband). OWB* – Outside Waistband – the holster mounts on the outside of the belt (as opposed to IWB holsters, which tuck inside the waistband). Premium Saddle Leather* – "Number One" grade American steerhide, representing the top 2% of all available hides, selected for firmness, consistency, and fiber structure. Vegetable Tanned* – A traditional, eco-friendly tanning method using natural tannins from tree bark (e.g., oak, mimosa). Produces firm, long-lasting leather without chrome salts or chemicals. More skin-friendly, more biodegradable, and develops a beautiful patina over time. IDPA* – International Defensive Pistol Association: An international sport shooting organization focused on realistic self-defense scenarios. USPSA* – United States Practical Shooting Association: The U.S. governing body for practical shooting competition. * Product shown may not represent your gun fit or color selected. *Please note: The firearms and ammunition shown are not included in the scope of delivery.

Notes
- The Ruger LCP fit does not work with photoluminescent sights. Not compatible with red dot optics (manufacturer statement).
- For the most harmonious overall look, we recommend choosing leather holsters and leather accessories from the same manufacturer in the same colour designation. Leather is a natural material; slight variations are possible even within one colour. Colour names such as brown, tan, cognac or natural are not standardised across manufacturers.
- For leather care we recommend the GALCO Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
* Firearms, optics, magazines, ammunition and accessories shown are not included unless expressly stated. The selected article variant applies.
