I ordered the M7X Matrix Holster from Galco and less than one week later, it has arrived. My first impression is it looks plastic-y. The plastic is semi-polished so that adds to the plastic-y look. I put the holster on my belt, the straps are very heavy duty using good hardware. What I love about the M7X is the distinct 'click' you hear when the HG is 'locked' in. I won't be worrying my HG falling out of this holster. When drawing, you need to have a quick sharp upward pull and it's out. For $29.95, more of reason to try it out.
"It is a durable thermoplastic holster that is lightweight, comfortable, and nearly maintenance free! The M7X is also fast, very concealable, and easy on the budget.
Setting it apart from other thermoplastic belt holsters, the patent-pending snap-on belt loops of the M7X – similar to those found on our deluxe Side Snap Scabbard – make it fast and easy to attach and remove from the belt.
The M7X is a strong side belt holster that uses a butt-forward cant to enhance concealability. The open top makes the draw quick and easy, while the lateral tension when worn does an amazing job of retaining the pistol securely. Unlike so many other harsh, mechanical-looking plastic holsters, the Matrix resembles a hand-molded Galco leather holster.
The M7X features easy on/off belt loops that fit belts up to 1 1/2"."
