I installed the bigger backstrap insert which makes the gun fit even better in my hand. Right now I am dry firing the hell out of it practicing for the DA first round.

After trying a few holsters I punted and bought the one shown. It is a Galco...Is anyone familiar with that brand? Their other holsters were leather and very nice. There is a gun show this weekend so I think I might look for a paddle holster. It is all a moot point as I am still waiting on my concealed handgun permit.

Very nice.

Galco is one of the bigger names for holsters... they make a ton of stuff.

Agreed. Galco is probably the biggest name when it comes to holsters. Here's their website if you haven't already seen it, BlackZeda: Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

I personally carried with a Crossbreed QwikClip holster though. I also had a SuperTuck. And you might also want to look at Comp-Tac's line. I had a bunch of those as well (the Infidel, in particular).

I'm a big fan of the Comp-Tac stuff. I carry my G26 in an MTAC holster that I absolutely love.

Damn! I feel sorry for the fool that breaks into your house when you are home. Dual-wielding Matrix-style smackdown for him!

Galco...check.
Crossbreed...check.
Comp-Tac...check.

It is good to have knowledge before going into one of these goofy gun shows. Otherwise you will be stuck there for hours with all the smelly gun-nerds that don't take showers...You guys know the type

Although suprisingly there is the occasional super-smoking hot gun-chick wearing the tight jeans and spaghetti string tank top walking around (with their Marine or Neo-Nazi boyfriend ).

I agree, especially about that last part. There are some really weird corners of the gun show here. Probably not safe for an Asian like me.

I like Comp-Tac myself, I've used several of their IWB holsters over the years for Glocks.

This video was too cool. It prompted me to order up some Piney Mountain tracer ammo.
