The Galco DAO170 is a tan leather belt slide holster purpose-built for the Smith & Wesson X Frame 500 revolver, configured for right-hand carry. If you're running one of the most powerful production revolvers ever made, you need a holster that matches its presence—and that's exactly what Galco delivers here. This is working leather for serious shooters: hunters who pack a 500 for backup on dangerous game, handgun hunters who respect the cartridge's reach, or shooters who simply appreciate the legendary stopping power and heritage of the X Frame platform.
Galco's belt slide design keeps the gun accessible and secure, riding outside the waistband in a clean, no-nonsense configuration. The tan leather fits naturally into field and hunting contexts, aging with character as you use it. Galco has been making holsters since 1983; they understand the balance between speed, retention, and longevity. The leather construction means this holster will break in and conform to your carry habits over time—it's built to be used, not babied.
This is purpose-built carry gear for a specialized firearm. If the X Frame 500 is part of your setup, the DAO170 provides the platform you need without fuss or compromise.
