I recently received the Galco Kingtuk and I thought I would put my initial thoughts down on it.
I got it for for $51.96 through Amazon which shipped it from Opticsplanet.net. It shipped on a Monday got it Friday. I could have picked one up locally, but I had some credit to spend at Amazon.
The quality is superb as with all Galco products. It's a very finished product. I was nervous about the hybrid kydex/leather combo holding my gun well. It holds it perfect for me. It fits all three of my Glocks, 17, 26, and 32 (full, subcompact, and compact). The kydex part is designed very intricate to do it's job. I would feel fine riding a rollercoaster with it.
It is very comfortable. I carry everyday everywhere. The first issue I had was getting use to getting it hooked up. It isn't a holster to grab and go. If I have to do that, I would throw it in a nylon Uncle Mike's if I needed to. Beware, if your pants are tight already, you may have issues wearing it. With it I had to loosen my belt a notch which isn't a problem for me. I am 6'4" 185 lbs for reference.
I think the cut is just right. I am surprised that other makers charge more for the "combat cut" when I think that should be standard. It is the only way the Kingtuk comes. I wouldn't want leather getting in between my thumb and the grip. Although I don't have experience with the Supertuck and others to know if that is an issue with the subcompacts.
I can't say how it compares to others, but for $25 cheaper than a Supertuck, I can't see that I would want to spend the extra money unless in the future I would want the horse hide upgrade rather than saddle leather. But then that would be about $40 more than what I spent and could almost buy a second one.
So far, so good with the holster and I think I will like a lot.
