Ruger LCP Max Holster

Galco Gunleather is now making its Walkabout 3.0 IWB (inside the waistband) concealment holster available for the Ruger LCP Max .380 ACP micro compact pistol.

The Galco Gunleather Walkabout 3.0 IWB ambidextrous concealment holster is part of Galco’s Concealed Carry Lite product line. It is manufactured from premium center cut steerhide and the Walkabout 3.0 holster is primarily designed to function as a strong side inside the waistband holster, but it can also be set up to work as an appendix holster or inside waistband crossdraw rig if needed. The Walkabout 3.0 is designed with a wide and easily accessible open top design that permits the wearer to draw their handgun swiftly, and the clearance around the mouth of its holster also allows wearers to carry handguns with slide mounted electronic red dot optics without hassle. Walkabout 3.0 holsters also include a separate but attached spare magazine carrier, and in the case of the 3.0 version, the magazine carrier sits at a wider angle to allow space and clearance for said mounted optic. The clearance also helps keep the spare magazine’s floorplate out of the way during the draw. For versatility, Galco ships each Walkabout 3.0 holster with its UniClip or their Ultimate Stealth clip.

Galco Walkabout 3.0 IWB Holster For Ruger LCP Max Features:

  • Premium center cut steerhide

  • Metal-reinforced mouth for easy holstering

  • Attached spare magazine carrier

  • Converts for right or left hand use

  • Includes two different belt clips

  • Adjustable for cant

  • UniClip fits belt up to 1¾ inches wide

  • Ultimate Stealth clip fits belts of unlimited width

  • Fits most carry-style optics

The Ruger LCP Max is one of the smallest .380 ACP micro-compact, polymer-framed carry pistols on the market. The magazine holds 10 rounds, while still having the same footprint as the original Ruger LCP carry pistol. To learn more about this holster or other products from Galco, visit galcogunleather.com.
