Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Galco inside-the-pants holster used for?

A Galco inside-the-pants holster is used for concealed carry by positioning the handgun inside the waistband. This helps keep the firearm close to the body and easier to cover with everyday or professional clothing.

Are inside-the-pants holsters the same as IWB holsters?

Yes. Inside-the-pants holsters are commonly called inside-the-waistband, or IWB, holsters because they ride inside the waistband between the body and trousers.

What should I consider when choosing a Galco IWB holster?

Match the holster to your handgun, belt, preferred carry position, and clothing style. A concealed carry holster should attach securely to the belt, stay stable during movement, and sit close enough to help limit printing.

Can an inside-the-waistband holster be used for off-duty or plainclothes carry?

Yes. IWB holsters are commonly selected for off-duty, plainclothes, and civilian concealed carry because they are designed to keep the handgun covered while remaining accessible.

Do Galco inside-the-pants holsters work with tucked-in shirts?

Some inside-the-waistband holster designs allow a dress shirt to be tucked over the holster for a cleaner concealed carry appearance. The exact tuckable capability depends on the specific Galco model selected.
