The Galco SG158B Stinger delivers reliable outside-the-waistband carry for Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers and Charter Arms Undercover models. This premium leather holster combines traditional craftsmanship with practical design elements that serious carriers demand.
What Makes This Different
The Stinger's open-top design eliminates retention straps while maintaining secure weapon retention through precise molding. Unlike generic holsters that rely on adjustable retention screws, this model uses hand-fitted construction that naturally conforms to the revolver's frame. The result is smooth draw capability without compromising security during daily carry.
Key Features
- Premium saddle leather construction with detailed stitching and reinforced edges
- Belt loops accommodate belts up to 1.75 inches wide for versatile carry options
- Open-top design allows rapid deployment without fumbling with retention devices
- Fits Smith & Wesson J-frame models including 637, 638, 642, and 442
- Compatible with Charter Arms Undercover and similar small-frame revolvers
- Right-hand draw configuration optimized for strong-side hip carry
- Hand-molded retention maintains weapon security without active mechanisms
Field testing demonstrates consistent draw times under 1.2 seconds from concealment. The leather construction provides adequate grip protection while allowing natural shooting stance acquisition. Weather resistance proves sufficient for normal carry conditions, though extended moisture exposure requires proper maintenance. The holster maintains its shape through repeated draw cycles without stretching or deformation.
