Choosing a holster is about balance: secure retention, fast access, and all-day comfort. For carriers who need a compact, high-positioned option that works with multiple barrel lengths and delivers a narrow profile, this design checks the boxes without compromising safety.

GALCO SILHOUETTE HIGH RIDE — hand molded to specific handgun frames, this holster’s open muzzle design makes it ideal for shooters who own multiple barrel lengths of the same firearm model. It features a reinforced thumb break for positive retention, combat-grip accessibility for rapid presentation, double-stitched seams for long-term durability, and a covered trigger guard for added safety. The retention strap configuration is tailored to each firearm type, and the high-ride build fits belts up to 1.75 inches while keeping the profile slimmer than a traditional pancake holster.

Design and Fit

The Silhouette’s two-piece construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, keeping all molding on the front of the holster. That results in a more comfortable carry position and a narrower profile than ordinary pancake-style holsters. The high-ride configuration places the grip higher on the waist for quicker access and reduced printing under lighter cover garments.

Retention and Accessibility

Retention is accomplished through a reinforced thumb break that secures the firearm while allowing a smooth draw when deploying a combat grip. The open muzzle design accommodates multiple barrel lengths without compromising fit, and the specific retention strap configuration varies by firearm model to ensure a precise match for each frame.
