SWITCHBACK Strongside/Crossdraw for Revolver
The Switchback is a versatile hybrid holster of leather and synthetics: fully ambidextrous, wearable strongside or crossdraw. Ballistic nylon, foam and packcloth form the body, and a steerhide exoskeleton lets the belt thread through either side – for the outdoors and the range, even with full-size guns.
GALCO has been at home in Phoenix, Arizona since 1983; according to the manufacturer, all Galco products are designed and hand crafted there. The family business was founded in Chicago in 1969.
- Hybrid construction
An outer layer of durable black ballistic nylon, beneath it closed-cell foam that gives structure and field protection, and a lining of 420-denier gunmetal-coloured packcloth.
- Steerhide “exoskeleton”
The ambidextrous top grain steerhide exoskeleton allows the belt to be threaded through either side of the holster body in strongside or crossdraw positions, for right or left hand draw.
- Reversible retention strap
The retention strap is reversible for ambidextrous use. Fits belts up to 1¾ inches.
- Carry method
Strongside or crossdraw, convertible for right or left hand; belts up to 1¾ inches.
Material and craftsmanship
Hybrid: ballistic nylon / closed-cell foam / packcloth with a top grain steerhide exoskeleton.

Notes
- For the most harmonious overall look, we recommend choosing leather holsters and leather accessories from the same manufacturer in the same colour designation. Leather is a natural material; slight variations are possible even within one colour. Colour names such as brown, tan, cognac or natural are not standardised across manufacturers.
- For leather care we recommend the GALCO Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
* Firearms, optics, magazines, ammunition and accessories shown are not included unless expressly stated. The selected article variant applies.
