The Galco STO800B Stow-N-Go delivers secure inside-the-waistband carry for Glock 43/43X and Springfield Hellcat pistols through premium black leather construction and reinforced belt clip mounting. This right-hand holster combines traditional leather craftsmanship with modern concealment requirements for everyday carry applications.
What Makes This Different
The Stow-N-Go features Galco's signature leather molding process that creates precise retention without adjustable screws or springs that can loosen over time. The holster body extends just beyond the trigger guard, providing maximum concealment while maintaining rapid access. Unlike hybrid designs, the full leather construction offers consistent draw stroke and eliminates the bulk of backing plates or clips that can print through clothing.
Key Features
- Premium black leather construction with reinforced stitching at stress points
- Compatible with Glock 43, Glock 43X, and Springfield Hellcat pistols
- Steel belt clip rated for belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree cant angle

Field testing demonstrates consistent retention across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F without material degradation. The steel clip maintains secure belt attachment through active movement including running, climbing, and vehicle operations. Draw times average 1.2 seconds from concealment to sight alignment when properly positioned at the 4 o'clock carry position.
