Beautiful leather holster that is quite sturdy and has a great finish. Pricey, but worth it. Holster is very tight on arrival, but follow the instructions that are included and it will loosen up so that the draw is smooth and re-holstering is easy as well.

Quality holster. A bit tight even after adjustment but without strap probably a good thing. I expect this holster will be tight yet with a smooth draw once it wears in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Made & Adjustable
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2013

I bought this holster because when I legally carry must visit some businesses that have "No Guns Allowed" signage. I wanted an easy way to remove and stash my gun. I most often carry a lightweight version of the J frame.

The holster is easy to slip on, not so easy to remove. Sharp corners snag on clothes during removal, I took a little grit paper to relieve a bit and it helps. The holster rides high & tight, angles the butt into your body to help with concealment. Very comfortable to wear.

Construction is excellent and tension to retain the gun is adjustable. The paddle is securely anchored to the leather holster itself. As expected it's a bit tight at first but eases up with use. This is an excellent value

1.0 out of 5 stars Too tight even after break in.
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
The holster looks good and has a good ride height, but it does not do what a holster should do... allow the shooter to draw the weapon! It is much too tight, even after the break in exercises mentioned on the packaging. The only way to carry it and be able to draw it was to remove the tensioner screw altogether, but that allowed it to fall out of the holster. My Model 36 S&W is a great gun, but I am no longer carrying it in this holster. That's sixty+ bucks for nothing.

Ok this Galco is nice fits like a glove, and the leather quality is beautiful, I would love to have a briefcase made of this sleek leather. the only complaint, per se is that the gun will need to be inserted and withdrawn quite a few times to "fit" it properly to your snubby, the first few dozen times you holster and un-holster, you will notice it doesn't want to come out to play very easily, with time this gets better, I guess it could be worse and all sloppy and your gun could fall out, so again a little snug, but will break in like a new ball glove.
