Galco Holsters

Galco Holsters International was founded by Richard N. Gallagher in 1969 as a small family business in Chicago, Illinois. Known then as "The Original Jackass Leather Company", Gallagher specialized in holsters constructed of horsehide. In 1980 the name of the company was changed to Galco International, and in 1983 the business was moved from Chicago to its present home in Phoenix, Arizona. Already famous for high quality and innovative designs, Galco holsters gained worldwide notoriety when Don Johnson chose to wear the Jackass shoulder rig, now known as the Miami Classic, in the popular TV series "Miami Vice". Today, branches of the military, federal law enforcement, and local law enforcement agencies continue to put Galco holsters to work for them.
