Galco Classic Lite Shoulder Holster System for Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36

I needed a lite shoulder rig for part time carry of my Glock G48. The GALCO Classic Lite Shoulder System became a good choice.The holster is not form fitted on the GALCO Classic Lite Shoulder System, which means it can accommodate any pistol from the G19, G19X, G22, G23, G27, G31, G32, G33, G34, G35, G36, and G45. Being such, I took a chance on it fitting the G48 and it works just fine. There is a slight hint of front-to-rear play within the holster but the retention quality of the holster is not compromised. Fitting a wider slide pistol, like those mentioned (slide width of the G48 is 0.087-inch as compared to a 1-inch slide width of the other pistols mentioned), negates the housing of the G48 after housing them, since the holster will stretch too much to be of use.I do like the buttons (five come with the unit) rather than the screw-and-post that GALCO used to have, as the buttons make it easy to assemble/adjust.The GALCO Classic Lite Shoulder System, once adjusted, a very comfortable even after long period of wear. I ordered (separately) the dual magazine carrier before I realized that there was a model that came with one. I also ordered the tie-down straps but have found them pretty useless, as the shoulder rig stays in place on the body very well.I also have a GALCO Classic Lite Shoulder System setup for a SIG Sauer M11-A1 and it has performed well. Good value for the money.

I found myself needing a different holster due to holsters on my belt causing back pain. I didn’t want to sink a bunch of money on a shoulder holster since I never had one and wasn’t sure if I would like it. Readers Digest version; I wish I had bought this a long time ago! I have been using it for a few weeks now and love it. It’s so comfortable, I forget I have it on. The quality seems very good for the price. I am carrying a Glock 23 with it and had no trouble getting it to take form....I just left the unloaded weapon in it overnight and it formed just fine. I free ball with it in that I don’t use any optional straps to secure to my belt. I’m 5’11 at 175 lbs so this set up works well with my build. As long as the weather allows me to wear a hoodie or jacket, this holster will be my carry method.

Very comfortable. Good quality. Hides scuffs. Conceals well. Nice price. Looks great too.Glock 19 Gen 5 (no attachments) was pretty snug at first (couldn’t even insert it enough to secure the clasp) but the included tip guide made assembly and stretching/fitting easy. 20 minutes after opening the box I was wearing it comfortably while leash walking the dogs. Still needs to stretch a bit to be perfect, but I’m sure a week or so in the holster will handle that. I’ll be recommending this to a few friends.Only issue (if you want to call it that) was that I ordered the single mag holder and I received a double. Hardly a complaint though, just a little wasted space with round limitations. I’m very happy and will not hesitate to buy this brand in the future.

Was turned onto the Classic Lite by nutnfancy, and mentions of a shoulder holsters handiness by Hickok45. This is a pretty sweet setup! Great value for the price, and a solid holster. Some tips I discovered:(1) When running the straps through the holster bits for the first time, little flecks of suede came off. Didn't really make a mess, but it was a quantity of "suede dust." Just something to keep in mind when you're putting it together.(2) Re: fitment (a popular...complaint? on these reviews). I followed the Galco instructions on removing the tensioner screw and using a plastic bag. This was fine to get started (and I really went crazy with the twisting when the tension screw was out, like degrees right and left of center where it's supposed to hang), but I found I needed more once the screw got replaced. Gentleman reading this review: this will require that old pair of boxers. Yes, *that* old pair. That even you must admit you should throw out, but you just haven't yet because, well, reasons. Get that pair out of the closet/draw/wherever, and use them instead of the plastic bag. That and some twisting was the ticket for me. Ladies, if you have a significant other who is male, you have a pair of these at your disposal. Even if you told him to throw them out a hundred times, trust me they're there. Whether it be a t-shirt or boxers, he's got SOMETHING. I digress. Using this method the holster went from way-too-tight, to still-snug-but-sufficiently-loose in ~30 minutes. This included doing a rough setup on the straps. I did that (the ridiculously-torn-boxers) for the holster, and for the strap I twisted it a few times per the instructions (do the side that wraps around) and I was in business and walking out the door with the holster on in 30-40 minutes, including loctiet-ing the screws.OH! Don't get loctite on the suede. Even if you use some rubbing alcohol (which may not be a good idea in and of itself), it don't come out. If you're one of those aesthetically-oriented people.

The holster takes about 40 minutes to an hour to properly fit. Once fitted, it is extremely comfortable to wear. This holster fits my glock g43.

Very pleased with this product. Use the plastic bag trick when holstering your pistol for the first time. I let mine sit like that for a couple of days before I really messed with it. It took some trial and error to adjust it just right but of course I'll most likely never have to adjust it again. Really glad I came off of the money and got it.
