Galco APO224RB APO Strongside/Crossdraw OWB Black Steerhide Fits Glock 17 Gen1-5 Belt Holster Right Hand

The Galco APO224RB is a versatile outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster for Glock 17 pistols across all generations (Gen1 through Gen5), designed to serve double duty as either a strongside or crossdraw carry option. Built from premium black steerhide, this right-hand belt holster bridges the gap between quick-access tactical carry and practical everyday use. Whether you're heading to the range, into the field, or running errands, the APO gives you flexibility in how you position your Glock without swapping rigs.

Galco is known for holster craftsmanship that prioritizes retention and draw speed without compromising durability. The steerhide construction on the APO224RB ages beautifully, breaking in to conform to your specific gun while maintaining the structural integrity needed for a secure fit. The dual-position design means you can wear it appendix-style for a more compact profile, or on your hip as a traditional strongside carry—a genuine advantage if you dress differently throughout the day or want options depending on your activity.

This is a no-nonsense, made-in-the-USA holster for shooters who want one rig that can adapt to their carry preferences. The Glock 17's full-size frame works beautifully in leather, and the APO's generous design accommodates the gun without unnecessary bulk. If you run a stock Glock 17 and value the ability to carry strong-side or crossdraw from a single holster, the APO224RB delivers proven versatility at a fair value.
