Galco Skyops
Picked up this Galco Skyops holster at a gun show a couple of weeks ago. Next time I'll order from OpticsPlanet.com, free shipping good prices. I wore it a couple of days and I liked it but it needed some improvements. A friend of mine does leather work and he added some to the top to keep the beavertail from biting me. I might still roughen the inner side if i notice it sliding around but so far its been staying put. I also filed away all the sharp edges on the plastic hook to keep it from digging into my belt. The 1.5 inch hook was an extra ten dollars
but I can't complain too much. It tucks in pretty good and I'm happy with it. I also bought the Galco tuckable single clip mag holder, it was a joke the thing kept sliding down where i could not get to the mag, I exchanged it for something else. I guess 8 + 1 .45 ACP will have to do for now.BTW... the belt I'm using is not a quality gun belt, It's good for holding up my pants and little else. I'm going to get a couple of nice gun belts soon for sure. |

Good looking holster. That's good that you customized it for your own needs, nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for posting. You know, I had looked at this holster several times as a good option. I guess the single point belt attachment method doesn't really appeal to me for some reason. Glad it works for you with a little modification.

I looked at the Skyops as an option for IWB. The main reason I did not buy was because it didnt have a sweatshield. I dont know any leather crafters who could have added it for me. Good for you adapting it to your personal needs. I hope it works well for you.
