I have three Galco holsters. I think they are crap. The mouths are not reinforced and can collapse after drawing, making it hard to reholster one-handed.My carry is a K40, kept in an OWB holster. Since it only holds 6+1, I keep a spare mag in my left front pocket. When I ride and wear leather, or go into less friendly neighborhoods I keep my XD45 in an IWB SOB (Small of Back) holster. Both are from Galco, which surprisingly enough I haven't seen mentioned here…
I am familiar with that situation and I did forget about it. Seems it was a pretty isolated case. Look at it this way. Out of the thousands and thousands of people that carry every day in the course of 10 years there was only two known incidents? And the outcome of those two were positive?
I checked out the 642 in a shop, and it won't fit my jeans' front pocket. I was going to carry it on my belt anyway, but I haven't thought about the shootability of it yet. I was sure I wanted g19 until I went to the range yesterday and tested a glock and a sig side by side. Next trip to the range I'll be sure to test a 442/642.
I shot the 229, but not the 239. Now that you've got me thinking about actually shooting the guns rather than just carrying them, I should head out to AFS to rent the 239 as well. Sucks that it's over an hour away... but at least it's summer so I have an excuse for a nice bike ride .
You must have a very small or tight front pocket if a 642 won't fit in it.
