Reviews & Ratings for Galco Kodiak Shoulder Leather Holster — 28 reviews — Page 1

This was everything i wanted ! It allowed me to keep my revolver tucked close and not get beat up by brush, and also lets me get in and out of my truck without it getting in the way. I couldnt ask for a better product!

This holster fit my Ruger super red Hawk perfectly. Very snug but still easy to pull the gun out. The leather is thick and the stitching is top notch. I highly recommend this holster. Very comfortable and the straps are comfortable also.

Great quality holster, and it fits my Freedom Arms .454 Casull revolver like a glove!! This holster can be set up as an under clothing (concealed), or, there is enough adjustment in the straps, to fit over a coat..! Love it!!!

Very well made, good craftsmanship for leather holster, little stiff getting revolver in at first, hey it's new leather, after 3 day of leaving revolver in holster it finally got broke in. Would recommend this holster to anyone who has 500 with 8 3/8 inch barrel. Very satisfied.

My purchase was largely influenced by reviews, positive and negative, from previous purchasers. I do not hunt with my revolver. I use it as back-up during archery hunts.
I found the Galco Kodiac Shoulder Holster a tight fit to my 7-1/2", 44 mag Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter (w/o a scope). But, I expected this, as I also expected the fit to ONLY get better with time as the break-in process takes place. Having a perfect fit, with leather, from the very onset does not seem reasonable to me. The fit may become looser with time and usage. I had no problems with the holster, even tho a review indicated the leather strap over the hammer, with a similar revolver, would not fit. Also, my preference for the nylon straps holding the rig to my body meets my expectations. Again, I'm not a handgun hunter, but as the nylon straps get wet thru inclement weather or sweat, I don't expect the fit to my body to change due to stretching, as I would with a full-leather rig. I believe I have found the best rig for my situation, with thanks to everyone else's experiences and comments.
Additionally, the Galco bandolier was a perfect match and fit for the holster. Needless to say, I want things to go my when when it matters most.

Thanks to Galco and the people who took the time to review this product(s). You all helped me make a better, informed decision and purchase.

A heavy gun like a 460 S&W requires a great holster. This Galco is made of the finest leather with great craftsmanship and fit for functional use. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for the finest holster available for a heavy gun.

The holster is very high quality. The leather looks great and is very sturdy. I have a SW 500 with a 6 inch barrel and the holster works great. I also purchased the bandolier. It too is high quality. I don't think I will ever have to replace this holster. Of course my wife thinks it looks ridiculous, but as I told her, at least I will be prepared for the bears on our mountain hikes.

bought this holster for a Super Blackhawk Hunter 44. First inspection showed no defects in material or workmanship. Came with a generous amount of straps for adjustment. Harness is easily adjusted and remained secure. Weapon retention was excellent, holster fit was like it was hand molded to the revolver. Once adjusted, this rig is very comfortable and made this big revolver easy to carry all day long while working at the cabin. Having a good revolver is handy since we have a bit of a hog problem.

Fits and looks great, my pistol is very heavy and I barely know its there after a while.the only thing I didnt like was no bullit loops! The leather is very top notch and the stitching was close and tight, my friends like how it looks and I know it wil last past my sons lifetime!

I read all the reviews. I agree with them. The workmanship and material is top notch. I stuck the 460 S&W (5") in the holster couple weeks ago, and it fits perfect now. Looks a little long for the 5" barrel, but, it gives it room to breathe.
