Description
The Galco Stow-N-Go has been a go-to concealment holster for years, and it's easy to see why. This is the right-hand, natural finish version cut to fit Smith & Wesson M&P Compact pistols, including the M&P 9 Compact, M&P 40 Compact, and the M&P M2.0 Compact 3.6-inch, along with a few other compatible compacts like the Kimber R7 Mako and Savage Stance. It's part of Galco's Concealed Carry Lite line, which means you get that trusted Galco build quality without the premium price tag attached to their top-tier rigs.
What Makes the Stow-N-Go Carry So Well
The holster is made from premium center cut steerhide, so it breaks in nice and molds a little to your body the more you wear it. The mouth is reinforced with a metal band wrapped in leather, which keeps the opening propped open after you draw. That matters a lot in the real world because it lets you reholster smoothly with one hand instead of fighting a collapsed pouch. The open-top design clears the gun fast when you need it.
Carry Options With the Natural Finish Stow-N-Go
Galco built this one with a neutral cant, meaning the pistol rides vertical with no forward or rearward angle. That gives you flexibility to run it strong side, cross draw, or up front in the appendix position depending on what feels right for your body and your day. The injection-molded polymer belt clip is tough and holds firm on belts up to 1 3/4 inches wide, and plenty of folks appreciate that it can hook over a belt loop when needed.
A Dependable Everyday Concealment Pick
If you're carrying an M&P Compact and want leather that's comfortable against the skin, lightweight, and gets the job done without a lot of fuss, the Stow-N-Go checks the boxes. It's a simple, proven design that earns its spot in the lineup day after day. Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pistols does the Galco STO474R Stow-N-Go fit?
This STO474R model is cut for Smith & Wesson M&P Compact pistols, including the M&P 9 Compact, M&P 40 Compact, and the M&P M2.0 Compact with the 3.6-inch barrel. It also fits a handful of other compatible compacts such as the Kimber R7 Mako and Savage Stance. Always confirm your exact pistol against the fit list before ordering.
Can I carry the Stow-N-Go in the appendix position?
Yes. The holster uses a neutral, vertical cant with no forward or rearward angle, which lets you run it strong side, cross draw, or appendix. That flexibility is one of the reasons this design has stayed popular for daily carry.
Is the belt clip strong enough to stay put?
The Stow-N-Go uses a sturdy injection-molded polymer clip that grabs the belt firmly and holds the holster in place through the draw. It fits belts up to 1 3/4 inches wide, and it can hook over a belt loop if you want added security.
Does the natural steerhide need a break-in period?
Premium center cut steerhide softens and conforms a bit as you wear it, so a short break-in makes it more comfortable and improves the fit to your body. The metal-reinforced mouth keeps the opening propped so you can reholster smoothly even once the leather softens up.
