Overview of the Galco Gunleather JST Off Side Tie Down | JST
What it does
The Galco Gunleather JST Off Side Tie Down off side tie-down (JST) replaces the ammo carrier on a compatible Galco shoulder system, so your rig stays anchored and balanced while you move. Galco recommends it for the Classic Lite 2.0 Shoulder System, and it works as an interchangeable component in Galco’s modular shoulder setups. Tie-downs are ambidextrous, so you can configure your rig for right- or left-hand carry.
What you’ll notice right away
The photo shows a natural tan leather strap with a smooth finish, a snap fastener, and black metal attachment hardware. The low-bulk shape helps the tie-down ride close without adding extra width.
Why it helps in real use
When a shoulder rig shifts, it can tug and distract you during driving, walking, or fast transitions. This tie-down helps keep your harness positioned through long wear. Galco introduced its modular interchangeable shoulder systems in the early 1970s, originally known as the Jackass Rig, and the same mix-and-match approach still lets you build the setup you want.
