Slim, sturdy, and fast. The Galco Stinger™ OWB is a minimalist outside-the-waistband belt-slide holster engineered specifically for compact carry pistols like the S&W M&P .380 Shield EZ. Built from premium black steerhide with a low-profile footprint and forward cant, it delivers quick access, secure retention, and all-day comfort—perfect for concealed carry, range days, and plainclothes use.
Why the Galco Stinger for Your Shield EZ?
Purpose-Built Minimalism: The Stinger’s trim profile hugs close to the body so it conceals easily under T-shirts, polos, and light jackets.
Fast, Open-Top Draw: A reinforced mouth preserves holster shape for a clean, vertical draw and one-hand reholstering—no collapse, no fuss.
Premium Black Leather: Full-grain steerhide delivers long-term durability, crisp molding around the trigger guard, and a professional look.
Forward FBI Cant: The Stinger’s forward cant promotes a natural wrist angle that helps you gain a full firing grip on the draw.
Secure Belt Loop: A dedicated belt slot locks the holster’s position—rock-solid stability without bulk or moving parts.
Comfort in Motion: Rounded edges and a smooth interior cut down on hot spots and protect your pistol’s finish during daily carry.
Designed to Fit
Fit may be affected by slide-mounted optics, suppressor-height sights, threaded barrels, lasers, or weapon lights. This Stinger model is optimized for standard-height sights and no WML. Verify compatibility with your exact configuration.
Ideal Use Cases
Concealed Carry / EDC: Slim OWB that hides well under casual cover garments.
Training & Range: Open-top speed and consistent reholstering support safer, more efficient reps.
Plainclothes/Off-Duty: Professional leather presentation with day-long comfort.
Quick Setup & Carry Tips
Unload & Clear your pistol—confirm chamber empty.
Thread the Belt: Run a quality belt (match width to slot) through the rear belt slot to anchor ride height and cant.
Position at 3–4 o’clock: The forward cant aids concealment and a natural, fast presentation.
Cover Garment Check: Practice clearing your garment and drawing unloaded until your motion is smooth and snag-free.
Reholster Deliberately: Keep the firearm vertical and reholster with a straight wrist—the reinforced mouth keeps the channel open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit the Shield EZ with a red dot?
The Stinger SG858B is tuned for standard-height sights and no optic. Optics or tall sights may affect fit.
Can I use it with a light or laser?
This model is not designed for weapon-mounted lights/lasers. Choose a light-capable holster if you run a WML.
How secure is retention without a strap?
Retention is provided by precise molding and belt tension over the trigger guard area. Many carriers prefer the faster, snag-free draw of an open-top design.
Is the mouth reinforced?
Yes—the Stinger’s reinforced mouth prevents collapse, enabling reliable one-hand reholstering.
