Galco Deep Cover

I used one for some time. Whitle I was awaiting my Milt Sparks VersaMax-2. It was serviceable, but was unstable. The pistol, an all steel Colt Officers Model, would tilt forward, backward, or flop down inside my pants when I attempted to tuck in my shirt.
It is a simple shell holster with a strap attached at the bottom (Down where the Muzzle is.) Attached to the strap, at the top, is a "J" hook which slips over the waistband and under the belt. The strap ends up over the thickest part of the holster which made for quite a bulge. All-in-all, the Deep Cover was serviceable for the purpose intended (To cover the lagtime until my VM-2 arrived), and sure beat a "Mexican" holster, it was not anywhere near as stable as I would have liked.

I largely agree with Fred. I have one and use it with a SIG P239, which is smaller and lighter and seems to be more stable than Fred's OM.
I also found that, when worn with khakis, the weight of the pistol tended to pull the holster (and it's give-away J-hook) down below the belt. Works better with heavier fabric, like jeans.
I don't feel bad, but I got it for about half of the Galco list price; if I'd paid list, I'd be a little annoyed at myself.
BTW, I have 3 Versa-Maxes and another on order. I think it's the best concealment holster I've ever seen or used, excepting only the Rosen ARG.

The deep cover is very fat. I bought one (on clearance thankfully) for a G27 within 3 days I was talking it apart trying "re-engineer" the attachment system. They should call that holster the Galco "I'm either carrying a 50cal Desert Eagle or my hip is pregnent"
I agree with the above guys. The idea is right but the execution could be better. If I get the gun positioned in the right spot, it really disappears well under a "bloused" shirt.
My head must have been the sand because I only recently found out about the VM-2.
I really like shirt tucks and the new j-hook works well for me. If it had two like the VM-2 and carried the piece at a tilt, it would be great. Wait..... I think i jst described the VM-2!

I prefer armed combat to unarmed combat. It's easier on the knuckles.
