Design and fit — purpose-built for the field

The GALCO SAO OUTDOORSMAN emphasizes a low-profile duty for single-action revolvers. Premium saddle leather resists abrasion from brush while conforming to the firearm for a secure ride. The retention strap offers a straightforward method to keep the revolver seated during vigorous movement, and the tension screw allows shooters to set draw resistance to match ammunition load and personal preference.

Carry options and belt compatibility

Flexibility matters in outdoor carry. Being able to wear the holster strong side or crossdraw means you can adapt to pack straps, vehicle doors, or seated positions without reholstering. The SAO accommodates belts up to 1.75″, so it fits the majority of field and tactical belts used by serious outdoors users.

Materials and durability

Saddle leather construction is more than aesthetic—it’s durable, quiet, and molds to the revolver over time. With proper care, leather holsters like the GALCO SAO OUTDOORSMAN will last for years, offering predictable retention and consistent draw characteristics that synthetic options sometimes lack. Price is competitive at $98.99 for the level of craftsmanship and the trusted Galco name.
