Galco Gun Leather con226 Holster Review Glock 23 g23 TPC3

[124worth]

Nice video

[XGCScrappy]

I like the serpa, fobus and crossbreed holsters. Each has their purpose. Serpa's a pain to take on and off, fobus is I'm walking out to get the paper on a sunday morning, and of course crossbreed is I've got to wear a suit and tie. One thing that yall need to think about is the weight of the pistol. I've got several that I switch between, weight, comfort, bite, firepower all go into what firearm. Please drill. It is embarrassing watching someone who cannot draw on a range.

[Jam818]

It's amazing how many goofballs there are on youtube. if they don't like guns then why were they looking at your video? Maybe they are closet gun fanatics

[frederickhIII]

This was helpful! I have chosen a Galco CON228B b/c of this video! thanks for the upload man!

[norwayfinland]

ey dude do you now why people always going dead every day in america ???? begous everbody can cary guns america the land of guns

[frederickhIII]

@norwayfinland actually i believe that 95% of firearm related crimes are people who illegally obtained a firearm and are not registered or fingerprinted! It would be foolish for someone who has registered and been fingerprinted to commit a crime and you have to do all of that here in america to own and carry a gun legally (*General statement for most states anyways)

[RO1146]

I was wondering if Galco offer's holder's for glock's 22 in 40 CAL?? 

[vabch82]

Gotta love VA:) Great weapon, great holster

[frankgon4]

Great Holster.

For the car, I use one of Grassburr holsters for the vehicle. I bought mine with a conceal cover and mounted it horizontal under the dash.

[chew7410]

great video thanks for the info.

[glocky2]

It looks like the rough part in on the inside. Would that eventually wear the finish of the pistol? Is there another style with the smooth part inside?

[sinisternm]

Great vid...thanks 4 suporting guns and our rights!

[poppy1821]

I carry a gun because of the fact that you never know what might happen. Like the old saying, its better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have one.

[TheIntelligentView]

You know... I am PRO guns... BUT, let me ask the Q as to WHEN will you REALLY ever need to use a gun? I am now 50 yrs of age and have been involved in various things in my life including security work and I have NEVER ever felt the need to carry a gun on me. I mean, if you live in the ghetto, maybe then you may need it... but I have lived in both nice and not so nice areas and have done just fine without a gun.

I have a G23 and go to the range for fun, but I don't carry at all.

[wraith7432]

I absolutly agree. Why would you need a concieled weapon on the street.

[qimold]

What a dumb question that doesn't deserve an intelligent answer

[kd0bgz]

Because if you see someones weapon, you will contact the police as if you have just solved the crime of the century. At that point a good citizen gets harassed by the police and you nod in approval. In the end; crime was not prevented, LEO's were taken from actual work, and you get to tell a story about how you helped the community. These are but some of the great reasons to conceal weapons on the street.

[SouthernKudzu]

See my comment to TheIntelligentView. I'm 43 yo and have had health insurance all my life I haven't seen a doctor in over 20 years, does that mean I don't need health insurance?

[want2bseal]

With all due respect sir, just because you have been lucky enough not to have and a problem before where you may have needed one, does not mean that it's not smart to carry just in case. I will protect myself bc police mostly just respond AFTER an accident has already happened. btw i also work security like you and i've been military police.

[SouthernKudzu]

2 cases in my life. I was 14yo walking thru the woods on our land alone and a pack of wild dogs (known not friendly) began to approach me. I fired on round of my rifle towards them and they fled. I was 26 leaving a restaurant in downtown ATL and was approached from the back by a man asking for money. After several "NO's" he got persistant. I turned towards him and displayed my holstered pistol with my hand on it. He shut up and walked the other way. I'm now 43 and carry EVERYDAY.

[remotelylucy]

nice video< just purchased my first handgun.A Beretta 85 cheetah and i think im too small framed for it i am 5ft and 127 lbs. can u tell me where i can find the laws on if my state which is CT requires us to conceal without printing

[bitcheznhos]

can i get a leather holster for my cock 16? it is long and hits the toilet water when i sit down to shit, but when i drive, it would be nice to wrap that thing up

[Roberthurz]

have an older Galco holster very similar to yours. I carry my Glock 36, 19 and even my 26 in it. It conceals well. I wear mine the same way you do. I have been CCW for over 2 years with it and have never been spotted. I spent a day working with police officers and firefighters putting out and taking in flags last veterans day. No one spotted the fact that I was carrying. Good retention and comfortable enough to work in. Great holster and thanks for the video!

[MrDbo45]

what does open mean

[SendARope]

"Open Carry" to carry your gun in such a way that it is clearly visible. The legal definition varies from state to state. In VA there are NO laws governing open carry. There are some laws that restrict where guns can be "schools, the state capitol etc" but that is about it. So far no wild west shootouts despite years of anti gun nazi propaganda.

[mmdghr]

glock 27 with a galco paddle holster is my combo great vid

[GLOCKSTEROC]

I came across your vid and I noticed that I have the same holster lol good vid man.

[JMPILOT6714]

In my state of Kansas,we have open carry,but if you have that gun on in the holster loaded,in a car,it's considered a CONCEALED weapon and requires a CCW permit.

[justintimberfake13]

nice vid...i have that holster and i know a friend that has it...it saved his life. Mine however is not broken in and i have been playing with it for over a year. the gun is stuck in it and i have to physically pull it off the gun. do you put anything on yours?

[triggerfingas]

i like that Holster...im glad u reviewed it with the Glock 23 cuz im looking for a good holster for my glock 23....i can open/conceiled carry my Glock 23....im in PA so yea b

[911mykidsdead]

i live in az , i couldnt imagine not being able to carry my gun.... The first person that says that i cant ... i'll shoot'em.... florence doc officer.

btw, you cant have your shirt over the gun.unless ur cwp. or c3.

[jparish62]

hell yeah. I have lived here almost my whole live. born and raised here, but when I joined the military I had to move to Ca and it's an open carry state, but the retards will not issue ccw permits unless you are a judge, prosicutor, or some victims of crimes....total crap

[Pinstripedtie]

If you lived in AZ, you would have KNOWN that carrying concealed is a CCW. NOT cwp. Also, nice attitude to display to the public in representation of a so-called licensed user! NOT!

Real permit carriers are trained in class to show respect and act in a responsible manner toward the public. WHERE did you REALLY get this so-called permit?? IF you really have one??

[sargon08]

thank you for the info !! man too bad i cant carry my glock 23 here in IL !! i need to move to free state !!

[SendARope]

Sorry to hear that.

[CrystalHunter1989]

Yeah, since IL is one of only two states that don't issue CCW permits, you think they'd cave under the pressure...

[mvp13klb59]

nice vid.....

if someone came up to you, on either side of your car ,say your at the atm making a cash withdrawal......

i don't think you could get your concealed out of the holster w/ the seatbelt also blocking you......

just my thought from watching the video...

hope your never in that situation, but i hope your ready....just if...?

[SendARope]

Well I'd have to unbuckle the seat belt to give the car to the carjacker. Then I could put one in his head when he got in the car.

That problem is not specific to this holster. You are right though it could be a problem.

[joejohndc]

I have thought of this when I go to the ATM so I just undo the seatbelt before driving up to the ATM. I try to think of what if's before they come up and plan how to react. I guess that comes with working as an armed security officer for 8 years.

[MuscIeBound]

Nice video, anyone who has used this and other holsters like IWB holsters, how does this compare in terms of concealment. Was searching for IWB holsters for a glock 23 and came apun this galco holster. I love everything about it except it's outside the waistband, and a lot of my shirts are tighter than this guys so the printing might be more of a problem for me.

Does galco make a IWB holster?

[SendARope]

I have tried an IWB holster it digs into my side too much.

[jw20002]

Fantastic review, very professional!

[s3rg956]

Good video bro

[littlemrmaze]

does it even matter if the gun imprints in the shirt?

what i mean by that is , is it illegal? and what would be the consequences?

[YllwFvrPB]

In some states printint is considered open and not concealed. This can be taken care of with an In the Waist Band holster.

Better yet check your local laws to see if printing is ok. MANY states its legal to open carry, and so printing is no big deal at all. A sheriff could tell you, but ask them to cite you a law # so it can be verified. Some may blow smoke and just throw out an answer of what they believe. Always follow up on your answers.

[mkesinge]

Besides the fact someone can see it and make a grab for it if you aren't alert

[YllwFvrPB]

How can anyone see it unless your openly carrying it? Your not going to see it, or be able to grab it, under someones shirt.

[iRobusto]

you would be suprised

[northernpatriot54]

Yeah, youd be suprised. Especially when its a leather holster w/o a thumbreak.

[YllwFvrPB]

I've never heard of a case where an individual had a gun taken from them while carrying unless it involved the job like police or armed guards.

I've openly carried three years and never had an incident and I'm involved in the nationwide carry movement and never heard of an incident in all the stories. It's certainly possible though.

[eggrollman24]

so how much did it cost with both gun and hoslter and how much is tha clip and have u ever used it for self def

[pepeq68]

i use galco holsters but i try the new

tagua gun leather and is amaizing quality

and the price unbeateable..

but this one are good too

[4638JL]

Nice review, I like Galcos products.Thanks.

IR

[swat2691]

"downy" as in "down syndrome" it doesn't take much for a criminal to get a gun 'how does he?' the dorky American says. From people having the right to get a gun, wrong people? you live in America 50% of Americans are bad people who get behind the trigger. Britain have no statistics to see how our crime rate goes. how does Australia have them on America you say? we just need to turn our tv on man. Nice gun by the way, and guns aren't banned here.

[Quag7]

50% of Americans are bad people who get behind the trigger? And you get all your ideas about America from your TV?

oookay then.

[JohnCG27]

What an asshole! Get your facts straight before preaching your Leftwing views!

[YllwFvrPB]

there are maybe 100 or so murders everyday involving firearms. Most involve gang related activity. FBI estimates there are as many as 7000 times a day a firearm is used in self defense to stop or prevent a crime without a shot even being fired. Exact estimates are hard because as no crime was commited there is usually no report of it.

[ethosflux]

that's a big part of the problem of making the pro gun argument. It's just like trying to justify the cost of insurance or of an intelligence agency. If they (or the gun) does it's job nothing bad happens. Successes are silent and failures are noisy, it creates a very skewed picture from a statistical point of view because the statistics aren't able to count the successes and only the failures.

[YllwFvrPB]

Very well said and I think I may quote you "Successes are silent, failures are noisy" yes well said

[swat2691]

lol mate there has been no killings here, rarely, that's why Australia ownes, the Riot people have no job in that department cause there is simply no riot, they have to have a second job.

Anyways man, all I'm saying the wrong people watch this video and take it to far with carry a weapon around.

[TacticalPodCast]

HA! That was funny. No "Riot" in sarcastic American means "Really Funny" So I was saying it was "really funny" that an aussie would talk about guns being bad.

Well the FACT is that Australia and Great Britian have seen a rise in violent crime. This is due to the ban on guns. Criminals do not obey laws so they still continue to hurt people.

Who are these "wrong people" you speak of? I had to pass a FBI background check to get my permit as does everyone else in my state that wants one.

[swat2691]

May i ask a mature question.

Why would you conceal a weapon everyday?

i say take up some Taekwando.

But that's America correct?

=/ Gees.

[TacticalPodCast]

That is a RIOT coming from an Aussie. Your violent crime has gone through the roof since you "outlawed" guns. Now the criminals roam the streets and people live in fear because they can't defend themselves. Same in the UK. TKD will do nothing against a gun. Virginia Tech and Columbine could have been stopped if ONE person had a gun. You know why terrorist in Israel changed from guns to bombs? Conceal Carry.

[StSimonOfTrent]

You call those that resist Occupation 'terrorists' rather than those that are The Occupiers.

Israel is a terrorist State. And an Apartheid State

Palestinians will fight Israelis with their teeth if they have to, and protect their land from the Zionist Occupiers.

[blackxeye]

@TacticalPodCast thats probably the best response ive ever heard. and very true.i carry a sig daily for that reason

[thedude44963]

@TacticalPodCast how tall are you ?

[JohnCG27]

..Ever heard of Ching pow?....Taekwando?..you are funny!

[mlacey56]

@swat2691 Taekwando won't do much against a .45. Or a .22 for that matter.

[ilovechipotle85]

@swat2691 i'm sure taekwando is really gonna defend yourself and your family from one or more persons who all are carrying a firearm. prime example of a hippie retard. 

[swat2691]

@ilovechipotle85 Haha yeah.. A gun is gonna be so useful in 2012 when them UFO's show them selfs to you, think how there gonna think of you, you fool. Can't call me a hippy, or crazy. Too much evidence for that fool.. Check out my favs you will wanna put that glock to your own head.

[th12t33n]

Wow i own a Fobus holster to for my glock 22, im going to have a friend try this and if it rips off like that then looks like im going to get IWB holster for it.

[TacticalPodCast]

rips off like what? This isn't a fobus...

[th12t33n]

i had 2 videos up in the same window and commented on the wrong one you can delete this.

[militarysims]

What are Va open carry laws? All the states i know of that have Open carry. You can not carry on you loaded or unloaded in a car. With out a permit. It has to be locked up out of reach unloaded.

[SendARope]

VA Open Carry is great. As long as it is exposed and visible you can carry a pistol even a loaded one. ( what's the point otherwise? ) In a car you can carry it on your seat or any other way that it is visible. You need a state CHP ( Concealed Handgun Permit ) To conceal it in the car or on your person. There are location rules but the state laws are uniform throughout the commonwealth. Google: VCDL ( Virginia Citizens Defense League ) for more up to date info on open and concealed carry.

[SDSnyper]

very nice

[Powerkicker]

Pretty good review. I just picked up one of these holsters used for $50 for my G20.

[TacticalPodCast]

That is what they say but so far so good.

[wisjoh]

I hope there are a lotta guys like you.
