Reviews & Ratings for Galco USA Inside The Pant Holster for Glock 19 — 6 reviews — Page 1

This holster tucks really well and the G19 fits nicely into it. I also like the rough cowhide exterior which lends itself to a better shirt tuck and the holster staying where it belongs. However, the design of hooking the holster to the belt from the bottom rim of the belt makes for a poor holster draw. The belt tends to pull up with the draw for quite a space until the gun finally releases from the holster. In my opinion, one of the most important factors of a good conceal holster is that the weapon can be deployed quickly without any hang up and this holster does not perform well in that regard. I will go in the holster drawer where so many other failed holster designs end up.

Since I live overseas there turned out to be quite a maze of what was available for export and what wasn't, so I'll be honest and say that this was not my first choice (nor my second). It seems well made and does work as advertised.
Pros: tuckable, stays open
Cons: the single hook allows the holster to "drift" a bit unless you place it where it "wants" to be. Such is the nature of the beast.

The J hook attaches to the top of your pants rather than being supported by your belt. As a result, top of pants can be pulled down below belt. Helps a little to place close to a loop but still unsatisfactory for me. I it works better for others. Seems to get good reviews.
Pros: Quality Construction
Cons: Not supported by belt only pants

This holster fits my G36 perfectly; however, the weight of the pistol rests entirely on your pants/shorts, which causes them to sag sightly. This holster would be perfect if it had a tab on the top of the J-hook that could rest on your belt for added support.
Pros: simple, well made
Cons: all of the weight is applied to pants/shorts - none to your belt

I carry a Glock 36, which is a .45 ACP. There is some "bulge" that must be accepted just because of the gun itself. It is advertised as being a holster that a shirt can be tucked in and around. I wouldn't do that, just because I think it would be obvious with my 35" waist, but again, I think that is more of a result of the gun itself, not the holster. So I just where an untucked shirt over it. The holster does a tremendous job at not only concealing the firearm, but also tightly seating it against my side (when used with a belt) in such a way that gives me the confidence that the draw will be almost exactly the same every time. The fact that it is made of horsehide with the rough side out, helps the holster stay in place by creating friction between the holster and my clothing. This may sound like an advertisement, but it really does work. If you are looking for a simple to use IWB, I recommend this holster. It is worth more than you are going to pay for it. If you try to go cheap for a nylon or plastic model, you will not gain the same benefit that you will from this one.
Pros: Concealability and Comfort
Cons: None
