Galco kingtuk iwb Holster

Im a LEO and just got this for daily carry of a Kimber Custom TLE/RL II. First thing out of the bag the holster seemed to fit the gun well but when I put in on with pants the gun would not come out of the holster. With my belt cinched tight the pistol was biting into the indention around the trigger guard. It also seemed to be snagging on the indention on the slide cutout. I took my butane lighter and slowly heated these two areas. I placed my finger inside and as soon as I felt the smallest amount of heat I stopped and inserted the pistol. I then gave the pistol alittle outward pressure against the kydex of the holster causing the two areas to reform and take a slightly less aggressive hold on the pistol. After two treatments the holster draws and holsters great without any more snags. This is not the first time I have had to custom fit a holster so I did not take off any stars. I imagine it is pretty hard to make a holster that fits every 1911 out there and it was not a hard fix. Do not be deterred just take it slow if you have to do the same. I found I like the holster how I received it in a high carry mode. It holds my pistol tight to the side and even with a 10rnd Chip mag in conceals well with just a tshirt. Im a muscular guy with wide shoulders and a narrow waist so that helps. As for comfort I believe this is the most comfortable IWB holster I have bought to date especially for a 1911. The hooks are wide apart and keeps the holster in place and doesn't pull to badly on my pants. The gun is heavy but with the wide hooks and the leather body shield it feels great and Im now going to be getting another one for my Glocks. I really like the high carry position and think its going to be much more comfortable on the motorcycle than my other holsters.

This is a very nice holster. The leather feels good and it fits my 1911 well. Mine is the range officers model with a built in rail on the bottom. Sits snug in the holster and draws well. A bit hard to re holster but all IWB holsters are that way I think. As it breaks in a bit more i think this will get easier. Overall very happy with it.

I have a Galco King Tuk for every gun I carry or could potentially carry. Really great holster. comfortable with good retention when IWB and belt tightened. Also has adjustable metal clips and a light shirt can be tucked into them. I recommend them to everyone who asks about what brand or style of holster I recommend. Seller was fast, price was comparable, and item arrived in perfect condition

The King Tuk holster is one of the most comfortable on the market, but that does not make it "King." The slight forward cant helps to keep the majority of the grip, which is the hardest to conceal, forward rather than straight up and down like a lot of holsters.The holster will hold any length of 1911-based pistols from 3" to 5" barrels. The Para Ordinance P14.45 fits perfectly in this holster, even with its wide grip. The "Combat" cut protects the pistol from sweat while protecting the user from the hard edges of the pistol and affording the operator a good purchase on the pistol while removing the firearm from the holster.The holster is designed to work with tension; tension being the pressure that the body places against the backing of the holster and which helps keep the firearm in the holster. The more the tension, the tighter the fit of the holster to the firearm. This also means that the operator should consider a well-made belt for added tension by pulling the holster into the body.The twin, screw-mounted clips hold the holster firmly on the belt. I prefer; however a single screw in the clip to allow the clip to rotate slightly on the holster as the body moves while maintaining a positive hold on the belt. I also prefer a rough-out backing to help keep the holster in place.The Kydex portion of the holster is thick, well formed, and well secured to the backing. There are no sharp edges and it adequately protects the trigger so I have no problem carrying "Condition 1" with this holster. You will find; however, that if your pistol has an extended safety, the safety will eventually cut into the top layer of leather. This might cause some premature wear over time. However, it is also a plus as the holster develops an "indent" for the safety and may prevent it from coming "off-safe" without the operator's knowledge. I would prefer a single, thick piece of backing to the double-layer of the King Tuk but I still find the King Tuk more than adequate for its purpose of housing a pistol until I need it. The top layer is glued and stitched to the rear backing and the stitching appears well done.At first, while stiff, the holster eventually molds itself to the wearer's body contours and becomes more comfortable over time. The wearer can adjust the holster up or down easily. Out of the four King Tuk holsters that I own, I have not had to change the adjustment from the factory setting, as the top edge of the holster is just above the belt line and the forward cant is a plus. For an IWB holster, the lower the better; especially for birds who have a 6-foot wingspan like I have. The width of the holster is also a plus for comfort as well as stabilizing the holster.All in all, the King Tuk is a good IWB holster at a reasonable cost. While it may not be a "King" of IWB holsters, it certainty is at least a "Prince" among them.

Very, very satisfied!!! Super supple leather means no break in. Can reholster one handed versus using two hands with my Tagua. Smooth draw with good retention. Fits both my full-size TRP as well as my compact Range Officer. I'll probably have to adjust the cant a bit for an SOB position but other than that it's perfect! Very nicely done, Galco!!

After 6 months of wearing this holster, I will say it is pretty comfortable. But, I have noticed my shirts are developing holes in them around where the shirt comes in contact with the belt clips. Its all of my shirts, not just one of them. The overall holster is nice, but the belt clips are destructive and terrible.

Really comfortable! I was surprised, first wear and I thought it was very comfy! Looks good too, well made and fits my Sig Sauer 1911 Spartan. Keeps the weapon pretty concealed unless you're bending all the way down or making weird movements. Wear a pair of pants a few sizes up and a good webbed belt. I love it.

Love this holster, use for every day carry. Have only worn for 2 weeks, but it is the most comfortable IWB I have owned. The only one that comes close is the Fist holster #19. I use other Galco IWB's along with Fist custom made IWB's, and this holster dwarfs them. This holster distributes the weight of the carry piece very well, and I believe that is the the key to the comfort. Don't even know that it is there.
