I own and use several different Galco Holsters and share my experiences with them here.
Galco Kingtuk IWB Holster Review
I have owned and used the Galco Kingtuk IWB Holster for several months now and I can say it is the absolute most comfortable holster I have ever worn. The leather molds to your side and you may even forget you are wearing the Galco holster. Using molded Kydex to enclose the weapon is a great idea and works well. I would only change 1 thing to make this holster perfect and that is to use the rough side facing the body to reduce slipping around. The Galco Kingtuk IWB holster is adjustable for cant and also ride height to accommodate most if not all users. I use this Galco holster with my Glock 19 Gen 4 and adjust it to the lowest in the rear and one notch up in the front for a slightly forward cant of the weapon. I also modified the inside by placing a strip of duct tape on it to increase friction to help keep the Galco holster from slipping around.
The upper portion of the Galco holster keeps any rough edges of the weapon carried from digging into your side and makes this the most comfortable holster available. You can hold the holster upside down and the weapon will stay in the Galco holster so retention is done right in this model.
The Galco Kingtuk Holster is available to fit almost any model handgun so I am sure you will find the one for you. The Galco holster is priced well below it’s closest competitor from Crossbreed called the Supertuck.
Galco Miami Classic Shoulder Holster Review
I have used the Galco Miami Classic Shoulder Holster for years with my Colt 1991a1 .45. I absolutely love this holster especially on long drives so I don’t have to worry about an IWB holster getting pushed up from sitting for long periods. The model I use is of tan leather and of course has the weapon pointed to the rear on my left side and a 2 magazine ouch on the left. I just last year finally purchased the optional tie down snaps to keep it from flopping around. This Galco holster is fully adjustable so you can fit it to your preferences. The holster is made so well I see almost no signs of wear in over 15 years of use. When I have called Galco direct the customer service is the best I have ever experienced while shopping online or over the phone. It’s nice to actually speak to someone intelligent when ordering a product.
Above you will see what the Galco Miami Classic Shoulder Holster looks like. it has been around for years and you will find a model to fit almost any handgun in the world. Make sure you buy the optional tie down so you can anchor the holster from Galco to your belt.

Galco Royal Guard IWB Holster Review
I have used this Galco holster with my .45 for about 12 years now and I love it. It has a metal band inside the leather on the top so the opening holds it’s shape to aid in re-holstering the weapon. The leather is rough side out to keep it from sliding around. I like that it has snaps so you can take it off with ease and not have to remove your pants to take off this Galco holster like I do with my Blackhawk QCB.
Galco Royal Guard IWB Holster
The only draw back to this holster is that it does not have a piece of leather on the inside that would make it more comfortable and keep the thumb safety from a 1911 style gun from digging into your flesh. Other than that this is one of the best IWB holsters available from Galco.
