Galco APO224R APO Strongside/Crossdraw OWB Tan Steerhide Fits Glock 17 Gen1-5 Belt Holster Mount Right Hand
The Galco APO224R is a versatile outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster built for Glock 17 shooters who want a single platform that covers both strongside and crossdraw carry. Made from tan steerhide, this right-hand belt holster works across all Glock 17 generations—Gen1 through Gen5—so it'll adapt to whatever pistol you're running now or upgrade to down the road. Whether you're heading to the range, duty rotation, or prefer the accessibility of OWB carry, the APO224R gives you the flexibility to wear it your way without swapping holsters.
Steerhide leather breaks in naturally and develops character while holding up to daily use. The belt mount design keeps the holster stable and secure, whether you're driving, hiking, or working around the homestead. Galco's reputation for no-nonsense leather holsters means you're getting a purpose-built tool, not a fashion statement.
If you carry a Glock 17 and value both strongside and crossdraw options in a single OWB platform, the APO224R eliminates the need to buy multiple holsters. It's the kind of straightforward solution that appeals to serious shooters who'd rather spend time at the range than fiddling with gear.
