Galco Matrix MX7 - two year report

pault17 · February 17th, 2007, 09:31 PM

hi y'all. I have three different daily carry's: pt-140 milpro, pt-145 old "breakable" and xd-40 duty. all are black with no fancy stuff. all shoot well with no remembered ftf's or fte's.

The thing I like the best about them all is fact that they all securely fit my Galco matrix. When I carry owb, which is pretty much all winter when and where allowed, I use the matrix. It even passes my wifes "hug test". there have been times that she was surprised when I un-belted.

When I carry with the galco, I have never had any problems with printing. I usually wear either a fleece pullover or a fleece vest. I have not had any problems with worrying about anybody getting a peek. Also, after using it for two years, I have not noticed any really visible wear on the finish of any of the weapons.

Just my two cents, but I really like the idea that I can fit any of these guns into the same holster and not worry when carrying. Cheap too. less than $20 at cheaper than dirt. buy a couple.

I bought one some time ago for my G27 and I was unable to draw from it effectively. It felt way too tight. I tried allowing a break in period. I also tried leaving a sock over my Glock while in the holster which has worked in the past, but not with the Matrix. Some had recommended trying a lubricant, but I wasn't too fond of that idea, so I wrote off the $20 loss and went back to my DeSantis minislide.

But I'm glad that yours is working out for you.

funny you should mention desantis . My other regular holster is a stealth. not the greatest for re-holstering, but it keeps both of my PT's close.

I will have to check out the mini slide. all of my other holsters have been home made IWB models.

I have 2 MX-7's. One for my G19-26, and one for my Kimber ultra carry II. I like them for owb carry and I have had no problems with them. My wife had no idea I was carrying owb except for last night, when we went to pizza for dinner and I forgot to put on a tee shirt under my shirt. Man, that g-26 was cold when I sat down in my truck and squealed when it touched my bare back at 3:30.
