Galco International, founded by Richard N. Gallagher in 1969, began as a small family business in Chicago, Illinois under the name "The Famous Jackass Leather Company". Specializing in horsehide holsters, Gallagher's products quickly gained recognition for their high quality and innovative designs. In 1980, Galco relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, and in 1983, the company adopted its current name, Galco International. Galco's holsters earned worldwide fame when the Jackass shoulder system became a fixture on the popular 1980s TV series Miami Vice. This exposure solidified Galco's reputation in Hollywood, where their products have appeared in more films and TV shows than any other holster maker. Beyond the silver screen, Galco plays a crucial role in the world of real-world firearms usage. Law enforcement professionals across the globe, from local police departments to the largest federal agencies, trust and use Galco products. Galco's offerings for law enforcement are extensive, ranging from concealment holsters to rifle slings, many of which are approved by the National Tactical Officer's Association. Known for their reliability and durability, Galco's products continue to be the go-to choice for both everyday carry and professional use. Patrios driven by a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, Galco International remains a leading name in the industry.
