Galco Walkabout

Galco Gunleather is now offering its Walkabout 3.0 IWB (inside-the-waistband) concealment holster to fit the Ruger Max-9 micro compact carry pistol.

The Walkabout 3.0 IWB ambidextrous concealment holster is part of Galco's Carry Lite product line. All Walkabout 3.0 holsters are crafted from premium center-cut steerhide and are strong-side inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry holsters, but they can be easily adapted for appendix carry or crossdraw use depending on the needs of the end user. The Galco Walkabout 3.0 features a wide, open-top design that allows the wearer to quickly draw their handgun, with ample clearance around the mouth to accommodate slide-mounted red-dot optics. Unlike its predecessor, the Walkabout 2.0, the Walkabout 3.0 also features an attached spare magazine carrier. The carrier sits at a wider angle relative to the main holster in order to clear mounted optics and keep the magazine’s floorplate from interfering during the draw. For added versatility, Galco equips each Walkabout 3.0 with either a UniClip or an Ultimate Stealth clip.

Galco Walkabout 3.0 IWB Holster For Ruger Max-9 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 Max-9 is a micro compact polymer frame striker fired pistol built around EDC (everyday carry) and personal protection. It is chambered for the ubiquitous 9mm cartridge, and like many contemporary sleek and modern carry guns, the Ruger Max-9’s overall width is less than an inch and comes equipped with magazines with capacities of either 10 or 12 rounds of 9mm ammunition. The product family consists of a standard sized Max-9 with a 3.2 inch barrel or a slightly longer 4-inch barrel. In addition to this, there are California-legal SKUs and optics-ready models available.
