Needed an IWB holster for a S&W 329PD, and came across a great price on this Galco from Optics Planet. I had no experience with leather holsters so it was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off. Snug at first, this holster fit the S&W perfectly before long; no need for the Saran wrap trick.
Pros:
- Simple but effective design. Has two straps which provides added stability and security
Cons:
- Maybe rides a little higher than necessary, but comfortable and concealable with the tight clothes
Would recommend: Yes

Comfortable, breaks in easily and has a nice secure feel. Nice leather material and great overall value. I use this holster for my S&W 40 M&P 2.0. I would recommend this holster to anyone looking for a simple and comfortable holster at a fair price.

The holster itself is well made. That said, if you plan on using this holster immediately, you are out of luck. The holster was so tight that upon initial insertion that it almost completely racked the slide. After I paused momentarily, I felt it best to release the magazine and proceed to twist, bend, moosh and limber up the holster. After an extreme amount of pistol insertions, I think I've made a little progress. I know it will last once it's broken in. I have a lot of holsters by several manufacturers and this is my first Galco. I'm less than impressed by the fit initially. The leather is good, the belt snaps are solid and they did a nice job with the construction overall, however.

Good quality holster that fits my pistol fine. Not as nice as Galco's Royal Guard, but up to the task at hand. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quality holster; backed by Optic Planet's fine service.

Once broken in this leather holster will protect your gun for years. This is the second one I have bought. The belt loops fit snugly over my 1& 1/2 inch belt. The mouth of the holster stays open so there is no problem putting your gun back in the holster. I highly recommend this product...

I purchased this holster for my S&W J-frame 642 38 Special and 640 357 Magnum. I already have a Galco Summer Comfort for my Glock 19. I have found these holsters to be of a higher quality and fitness for purpose than similar holsters by other manufactures. There are much higher priced holsters of the same design available, but Galco makes a fine product at an attractive price point. I also prefer leather holsters. The easy on and off design is nice when you have to go somewhere were guns, even concealed carry, is not permitted. I recommend this product if you want a classic design and do not require a thumb break holster. Also recommended for use under a unbloused shirt or t-shirt. IWB holsters hold the gun very close to the body and allow for use in more casual wear environments.
Pros:
- Quality, lightweight
- price/performance
Would recommend: Yes

Great quality and works perfectly to conceal my custom 1911 with 3.5" barrel. The leather is very strong and the finish won't wear off. The holster snaps were a little tight at first but now snap easily and don't unsnap accidentally. very good product that i would highly recommend.
Pros:
- leather quality, functional
Would recommend: Yes

This model did not work out for me. Tried it from 3 to 5 position and the right back corner of my glock 32 always "printed". It was only when I adorned a winter coat that this holster worked for me. OpticsPlanet allowed me to return it for an exchange with another holster! Doesn't get any better than that folks!

This holster is very comfortable. My J frame fits very tightly, but still draws easily. The gun disappears under a tee shirt. The quality seems high. The stitching and finish are excellent. It should last a long time.
