The Galco DAO194 DAO strongside/crossdraw OWB holster is built for shooters who want versatility without compromise.

Whether you're carrying at the hip for fieldwork or prefer the accessibility of crossdraw carry, Galco engineered this holster to work both ways—a practical solution if your carry position varies with your activity or clothing.

Steerhide leather ages beautifully and develops character over time while maintaining the retention and durability serious shooters demand. Galco's reputation in leather holster craftsmanship means this DAO194 is built to last through years of regular carry and use. The tan color pairs well with most outdoor gear and hunting rigs, and the open-top design keeps your draw smooth and intuitive.
