Every defensive carry setup needs a holster that balances speed, retention, and concealment. For compact semiautomatic pistols carried at the strongside hip, the right holster makes the draw predictable and reliable under stress.

GALCO STRINGER — Galco’s compact belt holster is purpose-built to carry a small semiautomatic pistol behind the strongside hip. The Stinger design features an open top and forward cant for a fast, natural draw stroke. It uses deep molding with a covered trigger guard for safety and a tunnel-style belt loop that minimizes belt space compared to traditional pancake holsters. Constructed from black premium saddle leather with a black finish, the holster fits belts up to 1.5″ wide and is compatible with the Sig P938. Shop this product

Design and tactical advantages

The GALCO STRINGER’s open-top, forward-canted profile encourages a clean, quick draw while the deep molding keeps the pistol seated consistently. The covered trigger guard is molded to prevent accidental access to the trigger during everyday movement, enhancing passive safety without slowing deployment.

Retention and concealment

The tunnel-style belt loop rides close to the body and uses less belt real estate than pancake-style mounts. That tighter ride improves concealment for compact pistols like the Sig P938 and reduces printing on lighter clothing. Premium saddle leather breaks in over time to form a snug, custom pocket around the firearm while remaining rugged for daily use.

For belt compatibility and everyday carry setups, the holster accepts belts up to 1.5″ wide — a practical fit for most duty and casual belts. If you want to confirm fit or view options, View product details and pricing.
