Product Description
Galco PHOENIX STRONGSIDE/CROSSDRAW BELT HOLSTER for PISTOLS
Strongside*/Crossdraw* Belt Holster (OWB*) · Handcrafted in the USA · Since 1969
The Galco PHOENIX STRONGSIDE/CROSSDRAW BELT HOLSTER for Pistols is a versatile belt holster that can be worn both as a Strongside* holster (shooting hand side) and in Crossdraw* (opposite side, grip forward). The thumb break retention strap secures the firearm in both carry positions. The Adjustable Retention* allows individual adjustment of holding force.
The dual carry option makes this belt particularly flexible – whether for drivers who need quick access while seated (Crossdraw*), or for the classic Strongside* position. Fits belts up to 1¾".

Glossary:
- Strongside* – The holster is worn on the shooting hand side (right hip for right-handers, left hip for left-handers). The most natural and fastest carry position, recommended by leading shooting academies.
- Crossdraw* – The holster is worn on the opposite side of the shooting hand (grip facing forward). Ideal for drivers and seated positions, as access is easier while sitting.
- Thumb Break* – A retention strap over the firearm grip that is released with the thumb. Provides additional security against accidental dislodging – especially important during active movement.
- Neutral Cant* – The grip points straight up (0° angle). Allows both Strongside and Crossdraw carry with the same holster.
- OWB* – Outside Waistband – the holster mounts on the outside of the belt (as opposed to IWB holsters, which tuck inside the waistband).
- Premium Saddle Leather* – "Number One" grade American steerhide, representing the top 2% of all available hides, selected for firmness, consistency, and fiber structure.
- Vegetable Tanned* – A traditional, eco-friendly tanning method using natural tannins from tree bark (e.g., oak, mimosa). Produces firm, long-lasting leather without chrome salts or chemicals. More skin-friendly, more biodegradable, and develops a beautiful patina over time.
- IDPA* – International Defensive Pistol Association: An international sport shooting organization focused on realistic self-defense scenarios.
- USPSA* – United States Practical Shooting Association: The U.S. governing body for practical shooting competition.
