About the Stow-N-Go
The Galco Stow-N-Go is the entry point into Galco's leather IWB lineup — a straightforward, high-quality holster that delivers excellent retention and comfortable carry without the complexity or price of Galco's premium hybrid designs. The steerhide construction molds to the pistol over time for improved retention, the open top allows a full firing grip on the draw, and the reinforced mouth allows safe, consistent re-holstering with one hand.
Key Features
Premium steerhide construction — Galco's steerhide is tanned and finished in-house at their Phoenix, Arizona facility. The leather is stiff enough for consistent shape retention and soft enough to conform to the body for comfortable carry.
Open top design — No retention strap to clear on the draw. The holster's friction fit provides adequate retention while allowing a clean, fast presentation.
Reinforced mouth — The holster mouth stays open for safe, one-handed re-holstering. A collapsing holster mouth is a safety hazard — the Stow-N-Go's reinforced construction prevents this.
Single belt loop/clip — A single loop or clip attaches to the waistband for slim, comfortable carry. Available in right and left-hand configurations.
Made in the USA — Every Galco holster is made at their Phoenix, Arizona manufacturing facility.
Stow-N-Go vs. King Tuk
The Galco King Tuk is Galco's hybrid IWB — leather backing with a Kydex shell for improved retention and more comfortable all-day carry. The Stow-N-Go is the pure leather option — lighter, slimmer, and less expensive. For everyday all-day carry, many shooters prefer the King Tuk's comfort. For shooters who prefer pure leather or who carry occasionally, the Stow-N-Go is the practical choice.
Fit
The Stow-N-Go is available for hundreds of pistol models including most Glocks, Smith & Wesson M&P series, Sig Sauer P-series, Springfield XD and Hellcat, Ruger, and more. Verify your specific pistol model when ordering — holsters are pistol-specific for proper fit and retention.
