The Galco SR84B Switchback delivers secure retention and rapid deployment for Smith & Wesson X-Frame revolvers with 4-inch barrels. This outside-the-waistband holster combines premium leather construction with ambidextrous functionality for versatile carry options.
What Makes This Different
The Switchback design allows the holster to be worn on either hip without purchasing separate left and right-hand models. Unlike standard OWB holsters that require specific orientation, this ambidextrous system rotates to accommodate both strong-side and cross-draw positions. The belt slide attachment maintains a low profile while distributing weight across a wider belt surface area.
Key Features
- Ambidextrous design fits both left and right-handed shooters
- Premium black leather construction with reinforced stitching
- Belt slide attachment accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Specifically molded for S&W X-Frame 500 revolvers with 4-inch barrels
- Open-top design enables rapid draw and re-holstering
- Tension screw allows customizable retention adjustment
- Low-profile design minimizes printing under clothing
The holster's leather construction provides natural grip retention that breaks in over time while maintaining structural integrity. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent draw stroke, while hunters value the secure retention during active movement. The material resists moisture and maintains flexibility in temperature extremes from -10°F to 120°F.
