The Galco Pocket Protector Holster offers you several unique advantages for carrying your handgun. Not only is the handgun completely covered and concealed, but you can casually place a hand on the holstered/pocketed pistol if a nonspecific threat materializes, and the fastest draw is to have the gun already in hand. The Pocket Protector holster is designed for front pocket carry in pants or a jacket. The holster keeps your firearm in the same general position so you can quickly locate the grip when you need to draw, conceals the shape of the gun so that its outline is not printed through the pants, and allows one-handed release of gun from both pocket and holster. Reinforcements at the holster mouth and beneath the trigger guard keep the holster stiff enough to allow a smooth draw and easy return to the holster, while also maintaining enough rigidity to prevent printing and shifting of the handgun. The holster’s hooked shape at the base of the handgun’s trigger guard is designed to catch on the pocket so that, with practice (using an unloaded firearm) and while using the proper pants, you can draw the firearm while the holster remains in your pocket or falls away. The holster should always be removed from the pocket when holstering the handgun.
