Galco Stow-N-Go Inside The Pant Holster for Glock 19, 23, 32 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a Blackhawk Serpa Level 2 Holster that is a great retention holster.However, its use is limited in the Spring and Summer months of Florida since a jacket would be stifling.This is a nice summer holster for its price.It does have some limitations from my practical use that I will discuss with you.

Constructed of cowhide suede with a reinforced opening, this holster is comfortable and stable.The plastic clip works for pants with and without a belt.There is more stability if you have a belt, as you draw your weapon.The Glock 23 is a compact gun and is the biggest gun that you can carry concealed and still feel relatively comfortable (I can try to conceal my Para P-14 14+1 1911 pistol but with an attached magazine, it's a touch thick, and a tad too heavy to be practical).

Reholstering the weapon is possible but be careful.I recommend practice trying it, unloaded, before you singe your flesh from an accidental misfire.It does not seem to maintain the form for ease of reholstering since it tends to collapse slightly closed.Reholstering is a two-handed operation, ideally, and should be performed slowly, cautiously, and safely.This is the major limitation of this price point.Many holsters that are composed of leather, and nylon, do not stay open very well.

The fit is snug from the factory but is easier to remove when it is broken in.You need to place the gun in the holster, and overnight, it is good to go.Other recommendations from friends to break it in is to put the gun in a grocery bag and then store the gun in the holster for a few hours.Drawing the weapon is smooth and quick, and the clip adds stability to your pants/trousers.The cant is not adjustable so the orientation of your gun is vertical only.I have tried this at the 2:00 Appendix carry and the 4:00 carry, and the 4:00 is better tolerated if prolonged sitting is required.For a Glock 23, it is too uncomfortable for appendix carry since the barrel sits right at the junction of the pelvis and the thigh (pointing right at the femoral vessels and nerves).For a Glock 27, given the shorter barrel, it tends to feel better for me.

The only drawback is the plastic clip that shows when you have an untucked microfiber shirt.It is less obvious with knit shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts or baseball shirts/sports jerseys.Most people will think it is a cell phone or pager, anyways.Daily wear is comfortable, given the suede feel.I don't tend to sweat wearing it so that is a non-issue.The plastic clip if used with a belt needs a thick belt for stability and sometimes, in the 4:00 position, it feels like it shifts on me when going from standing to sitting and vice versa.

It's a solid option for summer carry but comfort will be a personal preference.

Happy shooting!
