The Galco DAO196 is a versatile leather belt slide holster purpose-built for field carry with a Taurus Judge revolver. Whether you're hunting in remote country or need dependable everyday carry in bear territory, this right-hand holster adapts to your preferred draw position—wear it strongside for classic hip carry or crossdraw for seated comfort and accessibility. Crafted from premium steerhide, the DAO (Dual Action Outdoorsman) balances durability with the proven comfort of quality leather, making it a workhorse for hunters and backcountry adventurers who demand gear that functions reliably in harsh conditions.
Retention is handled by a simple strap mechanism that keeps your Judge secure during brush-heavy travel or active field work. The retention strap features a large polymer tab—designed specifically so you can operate it smoothly even wearing heavy gloves or mittens, a practical touch for cool-weather hunting and remote work. An adjustable tension screw lets you dial in the exact fit and draw resistance you prefer, so whether your Judge is freshly cleaned or carried hard, retention stays consistent.
Built to last and comfortable for extended carry, the DAO196 accommodates belts up to 1¾ inches wide, giving you solid mounting options across most standard gun belts. The tan leather finish ages gracefully and works equally well in field camps or everyday environments. This is honest leather holster design—no unnecessary features, just proven function for hunters and shooters who spend serious time in the field.
