Designed for occasions where the firearm and its holster may be seen, such as a social gathering, the Thunderclap is constructed to make a statement without sacrificing practical use. These holsters are hand-molded by the skilled craftsmen at Galco’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, highlighting the company’s commitment to quality. According to Galco’s media representative, the Thunderclap holster is the first in what they are calling their “Master Built” series.

In addition to the Thunderclap, Galco also presented its Hawkeye IWB holsters. Bearing resemblance to the Summer Comfort Holsters in terms of design, the Hawkeye sets itself apart with a raised sweat guard and a metal-reinforced mouth. This allows for the accommodation of a carry-style red dot sight, making it a suitable option for individuals who prefer their red dot sight to sit low within the waistband while carrying. Further customization options come with the choice of black or tan belt loops, and a forward cant carry angle designed for comfort and ease of access.
