Galco Releases Brush Hog Holster

Galco has a new holster design for outdoorsmen who spend a lot of time in thick foliage. The Brush Hog has a protective flap over the top of the pistol to keep sticks, thorns, and such out of the gun. Keep reading for all the details.

Galco’s Brush Hog is a quasi-full flap design. Unlike older designs, it leaves a gap where slide-mounted optics can fit. A snap closure holds the flap in place. The Brush Hog is compatible with the Big Iron belt drop adapter ( obligatory Marry Robbins link here). It moves the holster below the belt line so it clears equipment like backpack waist belts. The Big Iron retails for $89.

As of writing, the Brush Hog is available for 5-inch 1911s. It comes in black or tan, and retails for $179.

From the manufacturer:

“The Brush Hog™ Belt Holster protects your pistol from nature and the elements while keeping it ready for quick action in the field. The Brush Hog’s snapping flap protects and secures the pistol while also providing sufficient overhang to shield a mounted optic from scratching brush and precipitation. Using premium steerhide construction, it features hand molding for added retention and superior appearance. The flap is quickly and easily released using the glove-friendly polymer tab.

Packaged with a polymer belt slot that’s adjustable for belt width, an optional Belt Drop is also available. It can increase the speed of the draw, clear equipment ranging from rain gear to body armor, ride below a backpack’s waist straps, and make the draw easier for short-waisted and/or female shooters. The Brush Hog's leg thong is particularly useful when used in combination with the optional Belt Drop.”
