Galco leather slip-ins are the better looking... so good in fact that mine was stolen about ten years ago and I haven't bought a replacement Galco since.

I believe I have three; small,medium and large. Let me know what size you think you need. I'd probably part with one or two of them. Seems to me the small fit a 20ga O-frame about right.

These look pretty slick as far as easy on/easy off, but I wonder how the elastic panel would hold up?

The Leatherman pads are cool looking but the metal buckle concerns me a little...possible hang up on clothing, potential for scratches..? I don't know.

I use a Galco pad on several different guns. As mentioned there is room for a spacer and I have made one out of some thin styrofoam for that little added LOP.

Phil I have one like that and it has held up for years. No problems with the elastic stretching, still snug.

Well, you know; don't have to worry about much that where I stomp ...

Phil, I have a friend that lives in Cleveland OK, went to visit him a few years ago and he took me north to the Kansas border do not know exactly where we were but looked like that and there was buffalo roaming wild and prairie grass as far as the eye could see, I think it was some sort of refuge, are you close to a place like that? your photo brought that back to memory, Gary

Gary, the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge is near Canton Kansas, around 90 miles north of the Kansas/Oklahoma border; they have a large heard of buffalo there. There's the Plumlee Buffalo ranch which would be east and north of there. I've also heard of a herd in southeast Kansas but I don't know where.

This photo was taken south and west of Hill City; quite a ways west and north of both of those places. No buffalo here but east of Hill City is a ranch with some buffalo. So I don't know where you might have been.

The company I work for builds financial buildings and one of my projects was in Cleveland, OK. Small world.
