Chris's Review of Galco Inside The Pant Waistband Leather Holster
I bought this Galco holster based on it being advertised to fit a S&W model 469 and with it being inside the waste band indicates use for concealed carry.
Strike 1: S&W model 469 pistols have a finger hook on the front of the trigger guard. This holster is NOT designed to accommodate the finger hook and therefore doesn't fit right.
Strike 2: The thumb strap retainer has a rather large metal piece on the back side under the snap that lays against you skin if you wear the holster under your shirt. Very uncomfortable and prone to corrosion.
Strike 3: The belt clip is made of some sort of plastic instead of metal and due to the material it's made from is 2 to 3 times thicker than a metal counter parts. This causes a pronounced protrusion to telegraph through a shirt or whatever you wear over it and is very visible. That negates any idea of using it for concealed carry since it announces that you have something under your shirt.
3 strikes your out.
It would make little sense to return a $28 item on which I paid $8+ dollars S&H and pay another $8+ to return it. Maybe I can sucker someone into buying it for $10 and be rid of it.
