JACKASS Shoulder RIG for Pistols
The Original Jackass Rig – introduced by The Famous Jackass Leather Company in 1970 and reissued for GALCO’s 30th anniversary. The horizontal holster can be adjusted toward a more diagonal carry position than the Miami Classic or MCII; the two-tone version (black holster, tan harness) makes a statement.
The modular shoulder system is GALCO’s signature: Galco International invented the interchangeable shoulder-system components (originally the “Jackass Rig”) in 1970. Founded in Chicago in 1969, GALCO today works from Phoenix, Arizona.
- Adjustable carry position
The horizontal holster adjusts to a more diagonal carry position than the Miami Classic or MCII through swivel connectors. GALCO describes diagonal, butt-down carry. A streamlined ammunition carrier completes the modular system.
- Materials and pivoting harness
The holster and magazine carrier are premium steerhide. The contrasting Premium Center Cut Steerhide harness is adjustable, with four independently pivoting connection points joined by a clover-shaped Flexalon back plate. The shoulder straps are 1½ inches wide and the harness fits chests up to 56 inches.
- Magazine restrictions
For full-size pistols, the standard carrier does not accommodate extra-capacity or extended magazines; GALCO identifies separately purchased extended or horizontal carriers for those systems. For compact and subcompact pistols, the carrier generally also accommodates magazines of the full-size version if one exists. Magazines with exterior sleeves may not fit properly because their baseplates rub together; clarification with GALCO may be needed.
- Carry method
Shoulder holster system, diagonal butt-down carry; chests up to 56 inches.
Material and craftsmanship
Holster and magazine carrier in premium steerhide (black); harness in Premium Center Cut Steerhide (tan).

Notes
- Further components such as tie-downs, a cuff case or flashlight attachment are optional, not automatically included.
- GALCO’s predecessor introduced the Jackass design in 1970; it was reintroduced for GALCO’s 30th anniversary.
- The holster and ammunition carrier are black with a contrasting tan harness. GALCO notes that most fits in this product family are not compatible with red dot optics. On some gun fits, the muzzle protrudes beyond the leather by design.
- Further optional components are not included.
- 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: Sig Sauer 1911 (contoured slide); Dan Wesson 1911 (without rail); Springfield 1911 Operator (short rail); Taurus PT1911 (without rail)
- For leather care we recommend the GALCO Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
