My Galco King Tuk for Glocks arrived today. This is my first experience with this style of holster. Wow have I been missing out :shock: this thing is great!! It even puts my Royal Gurad to shame on the comfort factor. Looks like one for 1911 style pistols will be ordered shortly.

It's a good holster. In the summer time, I use my King Tuk on a regular basis and I also use it for IDPA.

I have one for my P220 and one for my 1911. I love the cost to quality ratio, although I did find it a bit over finished and stiff at first. You might try shredding the backside with your favorite cutting/sanding device. I did that to both of mine, first with a belt sander, then with a cheese grater, running it at different angles. This gives it more clinging potential to your side (unless you go commando I would imagine), much like what I am picturing the rough backside on a SuperTuck is like. Once the leather gets broken in, and loosens up, it is awesome.

Love my 1911 King Tuk for my Kimber. Great holster for the money!

I never thought about roughing up the backside of the holster though. That would really come in handy, especially when I wear shorts in the summer with it. Thanks for the tip.

I have one for my 1911, it's pretty comfortable. It's hard to tell what makes the difference, but I like my Crossbreed Supertuck in "Horsehide" just a little better. Maybe the roughing up of the leather would make the difference. May have to try that.

I bought the Galco for a 5" 1911 and ended up trimming some leather off the bottom to make it more comfortable with my three inch Ultra. Pretty good rig. :thumbs2:

Got one and it is my primary carry holster (at this point.) It's well made, reasonably priced, and off-the-shelf. Totally pleased with mine.

These are made right here in Texas, and are quite awesome:

I bought one for my Kahr P40, and I'm hooked. I gave one away to a friend for his Glock 23 for Christmas. And he's hooked now.

It's by far the most comfortable holster I own.

Nope, actually made in Republic, Missouri. However, I agree they are an awesome holster. I love mine. The King Tuk is very similar.
