Galco Stow-N-Go Elite Holster

Galco’s original Stow-N-Go IWB (Inside The Waistband) holster quickly became a best-seller upon its introduction. Now Galco has used this design to create the ultimate version of this holster, the Stow-N-Go Elite holster, which is part of the Masterbilt holster series. This holster features premium materials and construction methods, resulting in a professional-grade inside-the-waistband holster.

The Masterbilt holster series combines the finest-quality premium leathers with the skills of Galco's most experienced craftsmen. The Masterbilt series is the pinnacle of the company's leather-holster offerings, and holsters in this series get their final drying on a last, a solid form around which the holster is dried. The holsters are ready to go, right from Galco, with little or no break-in required. With detailed hand molding and full-grain leather lining, Masterbilt holsters are not only aesthetically pleasing, but very functional.

Constructed from Galco’s finest, fully lined premium steerhide, the Stow-N-Go Elite features detailed hand-molding for both secure retention and a beautiful appearance. The smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical, but it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted holster.

The open top design allows an easy draw, while the firm, lined construction keeps the holster open for smooth return to the holster. The vertical orientation gives the option of strong side or appendix carry to meet the needs of a broad range of gun carriers. The smooth exterior allows easy repositioning of the holster as needed - for example, quickly switching from strongside carry to the appendix position. The sturdy polymer belt clip secures firmly to belt or pants, using a claw shape to prevent unintentional removal. 

Available in black or tan, the Stow-N-Go Elite holster has an MSRP of $139 and fits belts up to 1¾ inches wide. More information on this holster and other products from Galco is available at galcousa.com.
