The Galco SR44B Switchback delivers secure retention and fast draw capability for 4-inch barrel revolvers. This outside-the-waistband holster accommodates both Ruger GP100 and Smith & Wesson K-Frame revolvers with its precision-molded design and ambidextrous belt attachment system.
What Makes This Different
The Switchback's unique belt slide design allows for cant adjustment from 0 to 15 degrees, providing customizable draw angles that standard pancake holsters cannot match. Premium steerhide construction offers superior durability compared to synthetic alternatives, while the open-bottom design accommodates various barrel lengths within the 4-inch range. The ambidextrous mounting system eliminates the need for separate left and right-hand models.
