I like my Galco Stow'n'Go Holster, but it isn't as secure or sturdy as I'd like, and offers little in the way of retention. It is great if you need to quickly decide to go strapped, but I don't recommend it for everyday carry. So while I was away in the sandbox, I ordered one of the newly released Galco King Tuck IWB holsters. It was waiting for me when I got home:
One word review: Like.
It isn't all that different from a Crossbreed Supertuck. In fact, it wouldn't be hard to argue that Galco borrowed heavily from their design. Needless to say, if you like the Crossbreed or similar IWB holsters, you'll like the King Tuck.
The retention is perfect. My loaded G26 won't come out when it is upside-down, even with a few jars and shakes. The draw is smooth. The kydex holster allows for easy one-handed reholstering. Those things are not negotiable for a daily carry holster. What impressed me the most is how dang comfortable it is. The two clips hold it in place securely, and the leather is everywhere it needs to be to provide comfort no matter how you are sitting or standing.
The concealment is what you'd expect. With my G26, I can wear it with a loosely fitting t-shirt and have minimal printing. I tucked it a few days just to try that out, and it was fine, although I doubt I'll carry it tucked unless I have another covering garment (i.e. a Hawaiian shirt.) However, until Open Carry passes in Florida, this is a good feature to have on a windy day.
I've been testing it over the last two weeks by wearing it everywhere, including my recent roadtrip up to West, by God, Virginia and back to Florida. When a tuckable IWB holster doesn't become bothersome after being belted into your car for 16 hours straight, you know you have a winner.
I like it so much, I'm ordering one for my new Kimber as well.
