GALCO
Optic Solution Shoulder Rig for Pistol RDO
The Optic Solution brings the shoulder-rig concept into the 21st century: a direct descendant of Galco’s proven Jackass and Miami Classic designs that is compatible with most carry-style red dot optics, whether closed or open emitter. This lets a modern EDC pistol with a mounted optic be carried in a shoulder system. Holster and double magazine carrier are made of premium steerhide, the harness of full-grain leather with a Flexalon back plate.
The shoulder system has a long tradition at GALCO: the Jackass Rig of the company founded in Chicago in 1969 became the Miami Classic. GALCO has been based in Phoenix, Arizona since 1983; all Galco products are designed and hand crafted there.
- Compatible with red dot optics
GALCO designed the shoulder system to work with most carry-style red dot optics, whether closed or open emitter. This brings it in line with today’s EDC pistols. Which firearm and optic combination fits depends on the selected article variant.
- Diagonal or horizontal carry
The holster’s swivel keepers allow adjustment to a muzzle-up/butt-down position for better concealment, or to a true horizontal carry. Horizontal works best for users with deep chests and shorter-barreled pistols, while the diagonal position helps smaller individuals conceal longer-barreled handguns. The silhouetted holster design accommodates different barrel and slide lengths.
- Horizontal double magazine carrier
The open-front horizontal magazine carrier, pioneered on the Miami Classic II, presents two spares ready for quick reloads. Twin tension units allow the retention level of the magazines to be set.
- Thumb break with polymer release
The retention strap has a new thumb break whose multi-curved, scalloped polymer release guides the thumb into the draw position, which GALCO says gives a fast, ergonomic release of the strap. On 1911 fits, a patent-pending deactivation block engages the pistol’s thumb safety while the strap is snapped; the pistol is carried in Condition One (cocked and locked).
- Harness with Flexalon back plate
The full-grain leather harness incorporates Galco’s Flexalon swivel plate, which allows each of the four straps to move independently. The straps are 1½ inches wide at the shoulders, balancing carrying comfort with concealment. The system fits chests up to 56 inches.
- Premium steerhide
The holster and magazine carrier are made of premium steerhide. The system is available in black or tan.
- Carry method
Shoulder holster system; holster adjustable to diagonal (muzzle slightly up) or horizontal; 1½-inch straps; chests up to 56 inches.
