Galco Royal Guard Holster?

[Pappabear]

I was looking at the Galco Royal Guard Inside the Pant holster for my 1911. It is made of Horsehide and the same basic design as the summer comfort. Does anyone have experince, pro's con's etc. It list for $124.00. I can get a Black Ops from custom carry for $175 that gives both inside and outside carry. Any thoughts guys.

I have several of these for different pistols....Glock, SIG, Beretta, 1911. I like them much more than the Summer Comfort as the horsehide is more sturdy and the loops allow for a lower fit to the belt than the Summer Comfort. I've had the Glock 19 and 5" 1911 versions since the early 2000s and they are still going strong.

I have one and it has held up well. I've always been pleased with Galco products and their customer service.

I have one and like it. For whatever reason it seems particularly comfortable. I actually dumped a Milt Sparks SUmmer Special II in favor of this for a Glock 19. That's about as much as I can say--a sample of one.

Best holster in the $100 off the shelf range IMHO.

Alos love High Noon, Del Fatti, Milt Sparks in the $150/$200 class. For a production product it is damn nice.

I've had one for three years now and my experience echoes everything that's already been said. I especially like the horsehide as it's more impervious to moisture and that really helps when dealing with Missouri's humidity. I'm a big fan of Galco products and believe you'd be hard-pressed to find a better "mass produced" holster.
