Galco SG652B Stinger OWB Black Leather Belt Loop Holster for S&W M&P Shield/Shield Plus/Shield 2.0 - Right Hand

The Galco Stinger OWB holster is a purpose-built, minimalist carry solution for shooters who prioritize speed and simplicity. Designed around the proven principle of doing one thing well, this outside-the-waistband leather holster carries compact pistols like the S&W M&P Shield, Shield Plus, and Shield 2.0 in a strong-side hip position that works for right-handed shooters. Whether you're prepping for the range, a defensive training class, or everyday carry, the Stinger cuts through the feature bloat and gives you what matters: a fast, reliable draw with genuine security.

Galco engineered the Stinger with an open-top design and forward cant that work together to accelerate your drawstroke without sacrificing control. A covered trigger guard protects against snags and accidental contact, while the deep leather molding locks your pistol in place and keeps it quiet against your body. The tunnel-style belt loop—a Galco hallmark—anchors the holster to your belt without the bulk of a full pancake design, meaning it plays nicely with existing belts and waistband setups. If you're running a 1½-inch belt or narrower, this holster integrates seamlessly into your kit.

Built from premium saddle leather, the Stinger ages gracefully and breaks in to your carry style over time. For shooters who've grown tired of over-engineered holsters packed with features they'll never use, the Stinger's straightforward approach and proven geometry make it an honest, effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Stinger work with my M&P Shield, Shield Plus, or Shield 2.0?

Yes. The Galco SG652B Stinger (model designation SG652B) is specifically molded to fit the S&W M&P Shield, Shield Plus, and Shield 2.0, ensuring a secure, snug fit that minimizes printing and movement.

Is this holster right-handed or left-handed carry?

This is a right-hand holster designed for strong-side (hip) carry on your right side. Galco makes left-hand versions separately if you need that configuration.

What's the maximum belt width this holster will accommodate?

The tunnel-style belt loop is designed to work with belts up to 1½ inches wide, so it's compatible with most standard leather and tactical belts in that range.

Does the Stinger have a retention strap or active safety?

No. The Stinger is an open-top holster. Retention and security come from the deep leather molding and the pistol's fit in the holster itself, along with the covered trigger guard for safety. This design prioritizes draw speed over active retention devices.
