Sports Equipment Stores: Galco Skyops Holster for Sig-Sauer P229, P228 (Black, Ambi) Review

As an inside the belt holster, this is a speciality item -- not as comfortable as a holster that's worn on your belt and concealed under a jacket.I've concluded that the pistols this holter works with (Sigs, Glocks, etc) really are not designed to be comfortably carried concealed, but are really compact service pistols, not everyday concealed carry weapons.

For an everyday carry, I've concluded that a pistol designed specifically for that purpose is best even though there are trade offs.A holster won't turn a large automatic into a small one.For example, my Ruger LCP fits in my back pocket in a pocket holster and is comfortable there all day in any weather, sitting, driving or standing, but has the drawback of being a 6-shot 380 rather than a 13 shot 9mm or 45.

Adjusting the holster is a challenge.I recommend that you buy the optional 1 1/2" belt clip as that will work with more belts than the standard 1 1/4 clip.

Product Description:
You need to carry a full-sized pistol behind your hip, you don't want to wear a jacket or your shirt tail out, you want stationary holster placement, and you want total concealment. That's a lot to ask, but one Federal LE agency and many CCW customers asked. Galco delivered, with our SkyOps tuckable concealment holster. The challenge was to design a belt attachment that provides secure carry at the desired angle while remaining inconspicuous. With a J-Hook or C-Hook, the holster can tilt and dive. While a pair of loops on either side or a single, wide loop around the belt can provide stability, they can also advertise "Gun." to observers across the room. The solution is the patented Galco Y-Hook, premiered on our SkyOps holster. The Y-Hook grips as securely as a full loop, yet disappears to all but the most trained eye when worn on a black belt. The SkyOps will not win the competition for easy on-and-off, nor for quick draw and re-holstering. But when it's all about stealth, and wearing a jacket is not an option, the SkyOps sets the standard against which all others are measured. Constructed of premium saddle leather, the SkyOps fits belts of 1" and 1 1/4" width. Made for semiautomatic pistols, the SkyOps is ambidextrous To meet specific Federal LE use requirements the SkyOps for the Sig P229 (model SKY250B) comes standard with an "enhanced retention device" known as a tension unit.
