It is a very comfortable IWB holster. You can conceal a large Springfield XD 45 relatively easily. As all other holsters from Galco, it is of high quality and well-made. The only complain I have is about the snaps on the belt loops, which are not "pull the dot" one-directional snaps. They must change the snaps on belt loops to "Pull-the-Dot" one-way snaps for added security and retention.

Purchased the Vhawk hoping it would work in place of the similarly priced versa-max II... the custom holster this one attempts to copy. Milt Sparks wait is worth it. I plan on returning this holster. The material is relatively thin, flexible, supple leather not suitable for an IWB carry. The Guard at the mouth does hold the holster open at the belt line but rest of the holster nearly collapses. The V shaped wings are flexible and almost floppy and provide little stability. The snap closures are not secure enough and often break open when drawing. With the weapon holstered the pressure of the belt and jeans is enough to increase friction and make drawing difficult. Its just a knock off that does not work.

Excellent Holster, Very Comfortable.

Author: TerryG , Executive, from Houston, TX on Jun 3, 2012
Pros:  Good quality leather and sticking, stiff and retains shape when pistol is removed. Retention is excellent and tight. Easily concealed with loops or hooks.
Cons:  Very tight handgun fit out of the box. Followed Galco's online breaking recommendations and is now a perfect fit.
Would recommend:  yes

Not the easiest holster to use, it takes some effort to hook onto the belt and get positioned correctly. Comfortable for most daily activities i.e. sitting, bending, etc.

I love this holster. It is very comfortable and does a good job concealing my Glock 23 under my shirt. I can draw quickly, once I brush aside my shirt.

i have had this holster for nearly a week trying to break it in and use it. i have only gotten to the point where the holster doesn't rack the slide on my gun any more. for the past few attempts at drawing this gun i have managed to fully remove it from my waist while trying to draw. the snaps are great concept but that's it. the release and all you have in you hand is a Galco holster wrapped around your Glock.

If your lookin for a HIGH quality piece of leather, that wont scratch your $1300.00 dollar gun like Kydex. Look no further! Fit is tight at first, than resides to a snug perfect fit. Its leather is some of the best ive seen, and I have bin buying GALCO for the last 25 years. Conceals nicly, and you forget its there. The nicest holster you we ever hide!! David Wright

This Galco IWB holster compares in quality to any of my more expensive custom leather holster and is therefore a great value.
