The Galco Waistband IWB Holster for Glock 17 (WB224R) is Galco‘s economical inside-the-waistband holster, molded specifically for the Glock 17 from premium center-cut steerhide. A reinforced thumb-break retention strap keeps the pistol secure, and a modern injection-molded nylon J-clip locks the holster onto a belt up to 1.75 inches wide. It carries the handgun in a vertical, no-cant orientation, so it works strongside, crossdraw, or in front of the hip for appendix carry, and this listing is built for a right-hand draw.
