Are Galco holsters made in the USA?

Made in Arizona and are big NRA sponsors as well.

Have you considered a cross-draw holster? There are some snap-on models (e.g., Garrity's C&D) which you can put on quickly. They're great for driving, and a simple untucked shirt or vest is sufficient for a cover garment. Shoulder holsters seem a bit slow to get installed on your person, and these days the horizontal position of the pistol means a) your muzzle is pointed at people behind you, and b) a piece with a 5" barrel is hard to conceal, and even some 4-inchers aren't much better.

Either of your choices would work, but don't discount a 'vertical' rig...such as the vertical shoulder rig from Fist. (See 'Related Links')
I have a vertical rig that is pretty comfy, but I don't find myself using it much in FL weather.

Agreed,
First thing I put on when home for the evening and I don't take it off until bedtime.

I find that the Galco VHS works best for me when traveling. It hangs straight down and doesn't poke into the seat back and stays comfortable. It works real well when I carry a full size 1911.
I like the Jackass rig too, just not for driving for me.

Well, I couldn’t agree with you more. I still have the top of the line Galco variant from when I carried my 1911. It was perfect and the fit was awesome. Still, it was a bit silly on my part since I’m a small guy, and I simply didn’t and still don’t have much of a torso to hide the dimensions of the full-size Springfield. It will be a sweet deal when I decide to sell it.

Yep as stated, right here in Phoenix, Arizona. Great company and the best off-the-rack leather gear I've purchased. I grew up around the Bianchi family and they use to be my favorite. Depending on the holster, they are still No. 2 in my book. Still, Galco pushed ahead although they are pricy. Of course, the smaller custom shops still provide a better fit. IMHO…

I got the holster and I am wearing it now but notice it sits a little low when i put it on under t shirt then put the button up on top and it does stick out a little far in the front. so should I order the tie-downs for it and will this help in concealment but when i wear it on top of a polo shirt it sits correct. And last question is should I cut the excess leather off the harness?

I just got a Miami Classic on ebay for $120.00 after I found out they were made in the USA. Thanks
