Not the easiest holster to use, it takes some effort to hook onto the belt and get positioned correctly. Comfortable for most daily activities i.e. sitting, bending, etc. Pros: Good quality leather and sticking, stiff and retains shape when pistol is removed. Retention is excellent and tight. Easily concealed with loops or hooks. Cons: Very tight handgun fit out of the box. Followed Galco's online breaking recommendations and is now a perfect fit.

I have bought many Galco (and other makes) holsters over the years for my SIGs. I EDC a M11-A1 IWB. Up until now, I haven't been able to find the perfect holster for walking around , sitting down, and sitting in the car. Now I have. This holster stays where you put it, and is comfortable. Add to that, the usual Galco top quality workmanship & materials. This really is the last IWB I need to buy.

This is the second Galco V-Hawk I have purchased; the first for a 5" barrel 1911 .45 about a year ago, and the second for a 4" barrel 1911 9mm. Both holsters offer excellent retention, and ease of draw and re-holstering. They are of excellent design and high quality construction, and offer excellent concealment, depending upon the level desired. If you are relying only upon an outer jacket or shirt to conceal the pistol grip exposed above the belt line, use the leather loops already installed. If you find the exposed leather loops to be too obvious, you can instead install the supplied plastic belt clips, requiring you to stuff your shirt tail between the clips and the holster, leaving only the grip exposed. If you are required to have total concealment by only a shirt tucked in around the outside of the entire gun, replace the leather loops with separately purchased, optional steel clips. On the 5" model, I ordered the steel replacement clips for trial, and found the leather loops are the most comfortable, and also superior in comfort and utility to both the steel clips, and the supplied, optional plastic belt clips. The lower front "point" of leather (just below where the front two punched holes are) will curl outward during the latter stages of break in. Until it does, it will poke those who are shorter in stature in the front of the hip when squatting down (deep knee bend). At full break in, you don't even know you are wearing it, and using the Galco V-Hawk my 5" 1911 with it's big grip, prints through a sport jacket or fleece vest less than my 2" S&W .38 cal Model 36 J-frame in a 2" leather holster.

I bought this holster for my 3in Kimber. I have multiple carry methods from ankle, shoulder, OWB and tuck & go. This is the most comfortable holster I own for all day carry, it has great retention yet provides easy draw. I've found myself relaxing on couch at night, forgetting i'm wearing it.Just another great product from Galco.

I was looking for an In The Waist Band style Holster to replace my Galco Tuck N Go something a bit more comfortable and sturdy and also tuckable for my Kimber Super Carry Ultra this sounded like what I want but it was a lot more money than I really wanted to spend. Well I bit the bullet and made the purchase and now I'm very glad I did because this is the most comfortable holster I have any is my pistols and I have quite a few different styles. The quality of materials used and the craftsmanship are top notch now after using this holster everyday for 8 months, so comfortable in fact that I forget I'm carting, I find it to be a good value, a bit pricey, but worth the money spent. It comes with 2 different mounting systems 1) if you plan to be able to tuck under a shirt this system can only handle up to a 1 1/4" belt 2) if you don't plan to tuck a shirt this system can handle up to 1 3/4" belt, very versitile. This holster can be worn under a light lose fitting T-shirt or polo without printing and it rides high with a forward cant making it very easy to draw and reholster one handed with off hand being used to clear your concealment garment. I also use Galco contour concealable belt and have tried a standard belt but find it much better with the Galco gun belt for its rigity during drawing and reholstering.
