VHS 4.0 for Revolvers
The VHS 4.0 (Vertical Holster System) was field-proven from Afghanistan to America and offers the concealment of the Miami Classic in the traditional vertical carry style. The 4.0 brings recontoured 2.5-inch harness straps, key-hole fasteners instead of screws, and a compact, fully ambidextrous tie-down system. Complete with holster, harness, ammo carrier and tie-downs.
The modular shoulder system is GALCO’s signature: according to the manufacturer, Galco International invented the interchangeable shoulder-system components (originally the “Jackass Rig”) in 1970. Founded in Chicago in 1969, GALCO today works from Phoenix, Arizona.
- Complete revolver system
The VHS 4.0 includes a vertical holster, harness, horizontal carrier for two speedloaders, tie-downs and a set of harness fasteners. Tie-downs are included for both holster and ammunition carrier.
- Pivoting spider harness
All four points of the spider harness pivot independently and connect through the clover-shaped Flexalon back plate. Together with the swivel connectors described by GALCO as patented, this helps the system adapt to different body shapes. The recontoured shoulder straps are 2½ inches wide. The system fits chest measurements up to 56 inches.
- Fasteners and tie-downs
The key-hole harness fastening replaces the earlier screw-and-post system. GALCO describes easier assembly and reduced risk of fastener loss. The tie-down system is compact, concealable and fully ambidextrous.
- Leather, orientation and additions
The system is made from premium steerhide and converts for right- or left-hand use. Additional accessories and components are optional and purchased separately. Not compatible with mounted red-dot optics.
- Carry method
Shoulder holster system, vertical carry, convertible for right or left hand; 2.5-inch harness; chests up to 56 inches.
Material and craftsmanship
Premium steerhide; spider harness with Flexalon back plate.

Notes
- Further optional components are not included.
- 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.
