The Galco HT118B Hornet delivers secure outside-the-waistband carry for Ruger SP101 and Colt Cobra revolvers through precision-molded leather construction. This belt slide holster positions the firearm close to the body while maintaining quick access for defensive applications.
What Makes This Different

Galco's leather molding process creates weapon-specific retention that secures the revolver without requiring thumb breaks or additional retention devices. The streamlined profile reduces printing under concealment garments while maintaining the durability expected from premium leather construction.
