Hate to disagree, Gene, but as far as I'm concerned Galco is not THE shit, it is simply shit. Crappy leather, half-assed boning, and who the fuck wears a 1 3/4 inch belt every day? Those lazy bastards don't want to make their whole line in multiple belt-loop sizes, so they make all but a few of their holsters with 1 3/4 slots so people can use all belt sizes with one holster. Problem is, if you use a smaller belt the holster will rock. Have you ever tried a holster from a real maker, not one of the mass-production factories? The best holsters are made one at a time by craftsmen, not on an assembly line by minimum-wage monkeys. I suppose you could say Galco has its place if it was significantly cheaper than real leather, but it's not. A POS Galco belt slide will run you darn near what a good holster from Milt Sparks will run. Tell you what- buy a rig from Milt and a rig from Andy Arratoonian at Horseshoe Leather and compare them to your Galco, then tell me what you think.
Galco is to gunleather what the TEC-9 is to guns, in every way except price. They are proud of their shitty leather.
