The Galco SR86B Switchback OWB holster is a no-compromise carry solution built specifically for the Smith & Wesson X Frame 500 and Taurus Raging Bull revolvers with 6.50" barrels—two of the most powerful handguns in production. If you shoot these magnums and want a leather holster that keeps your gun accessible without breaking stride, the Switchback delivers the balance of speed and security that serious revolver shooters demand.
Galco's Switchback is an outside-the-waistband (OWB) belt slide design, meaning it sits outside your belt and rides naturally at your hip. That exterior positioning gives you full access to the triggerguard and hammer while keeping the holster low-profile enough for hunting, backcountry work, or range duty. The ambidextrous design means left-handers and right-handers pull from the same mold—no special order needed.
The leather construction is built to last. Black leather breaks in to your body over time and develops character while remaining rugged enough to handle brush, heat, and daily carry abuse. This is working leather, not a safe queens holster. Galco engineered the Switchback for shooters who need their gear to be reliable, not decorative.
