GALCO
APO Strongside/Crossdraw Belt Holster for Pistol with Red Dot Optic (RDO)
The APO is GALCO’s outdoor holster for the pistol: low-ride, worn strongside or crossdraw, with a retention strap with glove-friendly tab – made for hunting, hiking and adventures in the wilderness. It fits most carry-style optics.
GALCO has been at home in Phoenix, Arizona since 1983; all Galco products are designed and hand crafted there. The family business was founded in Chicago in 1969.
- Open carry outdoors
Related to the DAO and SAO holsters, the Auto Pistol Outdoorsman is designed for open carry of a semiautomatic pistol while hunting, hiking or camping. It can be worn strongside or crossdraw. Its low ride supports comfort and helps clear pack straps or other equipment.
- Retention strap and tension
The traditional retention strap has a glove-friendly polymer tab. It secures the pistol in brush, over rugged terrain, or while riding a horse, motorbike or ATV/UTV. Tension screw adjustment allows the fit to be tailored.
- Unlined steerhide and hand molding
Unlined premium steerhide is intended for outdoor use. Detailed hand molding promotes retention and shapes the appearance. The APO fits belts up to 1¾ inches.
- Carry method
Low ride, strongside or crossdraw; belts up to 1¾ inches.
Material and craftsmanship
Premium steerhide, black or tan finish.

Notes
- GALCO describes the cutaway as accommodating most carry-style optics while also working with iron-sighted pistols. The cutaway helps the pistol clear the leather, particularly for shorter-waisted users. This describes the construction, not universal approval of every optic and firearm combination.
- 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.
- Manufacturer restriction: Springfield 1911 Operator (short rail)
- For leather care we recommend the GALCO Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
