Re: Anyone have Galco's USA ULTIMATE SECOND AMENDMENT?

Had and used one and here is my take:

Pros:
1. It is decent fit and quality for the price.
2. Very soft and comfy.
3. Retention seems snug. Wouldn't go standing on my head but it seems good even after a bit of break in. And as may are saying, a lot depends on how tight you wear your belt.

Cons:
1. No cant is poor for 3:30 - 4:00 carry. Does not work for me.
2. The belt clip is flimsy and useless. The holster can end up anywhere after a bit of activity.

I consider Galco the McDonalds of holsters. Don't get me wrong, I eat McDonalds. Some of Galco's Kydex models are pretty good.

I carry at 3:30 to 4:00 and 15 to 20 degrees cant pulls the gun butt up against my back and it all disappears using minimal cover. I have a Galco Kydex Triton holster http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterPG3.asp?P ... 7&GunID=51 and a Desantis Insider Holster http://www.desantisholster.com/store/SE ... he-Insider That I modified myself to have the exact same cant and depth as the Galco Kydex holster.

So the deal is this: I use the Galco Kydex holster at the range to practice draw and fire since you can easily re-holster the Kydex. I use the DeSantis Insider for every day comfortable carry. I don't plan on needing to constantly re-holster so the fact that it is soft and collapses once you unholster is no issue. I always keep the weapon in the holster with the trigger covered when putting it on and taking it off.

Anyways, that is my suggestion for everyday comfortable carry. It needs to have proper cant and depth and a wide and strong enough metal clip to keep it in one spot.

If you aren't afraid to spend the cash I recommend the Tucker Answer http://rlcompanyusa.stores.yahoo.net/answeriwbs.html I had a chance to handle one in person and was impressed enough to order it. The internal leather lining in the Kydex was the selling point. I plan to use it on weekends since I won't have to remove my rig every time I get to work in the am. That and with the 2 clips it is FAR more secure and I do alot more activities on the weekends.
