Based on Galco's popular revolver-only WheelGunner design, the Ironhide is made for semiautomatic pistols. Using an innovative belt slide system, the Ironhide can be used for both strongside or crossdraw carry. Fully ambidextrous, the holster also allows carry in four different positions by unsnapping the holster from the belt slide, moving the belt slide to a different location on the belt, reversing the retention strap if needed, and reattaching the holster. It secures the pistol with a combination of hand molding and a reversible retention strap with a glove-friendly polymer tab. The retention strap accommodates both hammer-down and cocked-and-locked carry on 1911-type pistols.
