Reviews & Ratings for Galco Parabellum Shoulder System, Leather — 2 reviews — Page 1

It's a very good holster and I haven't really been able to use it much yet. I think that the retention lever isn't necessary because of the plastic nob inside the holster that fits inside the trigger guard. That being said it is a little difficult to draw from the holster quickly. You have to use your free hand to grab at the bottom of the holster to hold it still to get your firearm out. You also have to really give it a firm jerk to get it released. I'm hoping over time it gets easier. It is a quality holster though. I definitely like this companies prices as well. Saved a good bit of money getting it here other than going through Galco. Shipping was quick as well. I will definitely check optics planet first before I go anywhere else.

I just got this rig today. It seems nice, not sure what the other reviewer is talking about that it's cheap. Maybe he was expecting something heavier and thicker, lol? I don't agree, seems high quality but time will tell.

I wanted something I could wear when riding motorcycle, running to the store and not wearing pants with a belt. After I've actually used the rig for awhile I will update the review. So far I can tell you 3 things:

1. Assembling and adjusting the rig wasn't hard
2. The retention of a loaded G19 without the "retention hood" down (so the internal part that "snaps" onto the trigger guard inside the holster) seems very good. I was unable to shake the pistol out of the holster. Possibly it will weaken over time? That remains to be seen.
3. I have Trijicon HD night sites on my G26, which are very popular and common. The sight height is pretty much the same, but these sights are about 1/4" farther back on the slide, which is enough to interfere with the function of the retention hood. I can flip it down, but require 2 hands to open it, cannot do it quickly with thumb as designed and this just won't do.

It would have been nice to have a warning about this in the product description. In my case, I doubt I would need the hood if carrying the G26 if I wanted to, but I also can't imagine carrying the smaller Glock with this holster. My G19 still has stock sights and the hood works as described. If I decide to upgrade to non-stock sights, will have to take this into ...
