Galco Speed Paddle Holster for S&W J Frame 640 Cent 2 1/8-Inch .357 (Tan, Right-hand)


Great Holster!
I love my new S&W J FR 640 CENT 2 1/8" .357,SPEED PADDLE HOLSTER. It looks great and feels very comfortable when worn.
Well designed and fits my revolver exactly right.
This holster is high quality and well made. I followed the break-in procedure and the revolver settled right in -- snug but not too tight to draw without jerking the holster out of place. Only complaint I have is the instructions do not address how to adjust the tilt of the holster even though the description of the product online mentions angle adustment. Overall, a very fine product. I would recommend this holster for anyone who has a short barrel J frame.
One Nice Looking and Functional Holster
If fit my gun perfectly but you do have to go through the adjustment process for a new leather holster. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. It's nice to have a easy on and off holster. It has a cool look too. Too bad it's concealed.

Galco KT2488 King Tuck IWB Holster


Galco Kingtuk
I purchased this IWB holster for my SIG SAUER p226 w/ Rail. The holster is very comfortable and conceals the firearm very well. Please note (this might be apparent, but just in case...), you may need to buy larger pants... so if you wear pants with a 38 inch waist, you may need to add an inch or two so that you make room for the holster.
Galco King Tuck
I purchased the King Tuck from Galco and I'm very disappointed in it. I wore it for a full day and it was very uncomfortable, it actually hurt. It was for a Sig 226. The leather doesn't keep the decocking lever from coming in contact with your skin and rubbing you sore. I should have spent the extra money and bought a Crossbreed, or spent less and picked up a Foxx,(I have both for different guns and they are both VERY comfortable...you forget you have them on).
I am surprised, because I have many other Galco holsters, and they are very good.
I'm sorry...but I would NOT recommend this holster to any of my family or friends.
Good IWB holster but needs to be broken in first
I bought the Galco King Tuk for my SIG P226 and P229. At first I didn't care for it as it seemed that it scratched the finish on one of my guns and that my guns would get caught while drawing them from the holster. I did notice it was very comfortable to wear and carry. So for a few months this holster was sitting on my shelf. But when I bought a heavier stainless steel P226 I took the holster back off the shelf, cleaned the inside of it well (found some particles in it that might have been the culprit for the minor scratches on my other gun)and also left my P226 in the holster overnight. I then practiced drawing and holstering the gun a few dozen times. All this served to break in the holster to the point that I think it now works very well. It conceals even my larger P226 under a normal t-shirt. So far the only marks it has left on my pistol are some kydex that naturally gets rubbed off from the holster. This is easy to clean with an oily rag.

So for quality,...

Galco KT212B King Tuck IWB Holster


A Prince Maybe; Not a King
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...
Great holster
This holster works great with my commander size 1911 45 cal. It's nice because it keeps my low profile non-railed 1911 secure, but also accommodates my railed 5". Great holster.
Excellent IWB Holster
I use this holster in a open carry state, and it works very well. If you are not in an open carry state this holster has a low enough profile it is easily concealed with a shirt or jacket. Things to note if you are getting a IWB holster you may need a size bigger pant and belt. I use this with my full size 1911, and the only draw back would be if you are in and out of vehicles. That will limit access to your firearm as some IWB holsters do, also the gun may dig into the hip a little bit.
