Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Galco Royal Guard holster ideal for concealed carry?

The Galco Royal Guard holster is made from dense horsehide, which is more resilient to sweat and lasts longer than cowhide. Its leather construction allows it to mold to the body for superior comfort, making it ideal for all-day concealed carry.

How do you break in a new leather holster like the Galco Royal Guard?

To break in a new leather holster, you should repeatedly insert and draw an unloaded firearm about 200 times. This process creates a wear channel, ensuring a smooth and reliable draw while allowing the holster to conform to the firearm and your body.

What Glock models fit the Galco Royal Guard holster?

The Galco Royal Guard holster is designed to accommodate Glock slimline models, including the Glock 43, Glock 43X, and Glock 48. While the 43X and 48 fit perfectly in their respective holster sizes, the 43 can also fit in the slightly larger holster.

Why is horsehide preferred over cowhide for concealed carry holsters?

Horsehide is denser and more resistant to sweat than cowhide. This density means it holds its shape better, lasts significantly longer, and is less prone to breaking down from body moisture, making it a more durable choice for concealed carry holsters.
