I placed my order for a "summer" style IWB for a full size 1911 (5") on 9 April 03. I asked them in my order notes section to notify me at my work email address if it was backordered. Well, that never happened, and after a short, sweet, to the point nasty-gram, they apologized for the oversight. Here it is, 23 June 03, and still no holster. A second email to Galco, and they replied that it was "in production, and should ship within a week."
Has anyone ever dealt with them? I love their holsters, but have always bought from a dealer in the past. Trying to save a couple $$$ and some fuel, I shopped via the internet. They said the reason it has been so long, is that they (a leather holster/accessories company) were backed up from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Seems like BS to me. I've never known anyone to carry/use Galco holsters while in the military. Seems we all use mostly the famous Bianchi "Widow Maker." I'm just tired of waiting almost 3 months for a simple holster, which is generally mass produced due to the common weapon frame.
