The Galco FL212RB Fletch delivers secure outside-the-waistband carry for 1911 pistols with premium leather construction and proven belt slide design. This holster positions the firearm close to the body while maintaining quick access for defensive situations.
What Makes This Different
The Fletch series features Galco's signature hand-molded leather construction that forms precisely to 1911 dimensions, creating superior retention without mechanical devices. Unlike generic holsters, the FL212RB incorporates reinforced stitching at stress points and uses full-grain steerhide that maintains its shape through thousands of draw cycles. The belt slide design sits lower on the hip than paddle holsters, reducing printing under concealment garments.

Field testing demonstrates consistent retention across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F without leather cracking or loosening. The holster maintains positive retention during physical activity while allowing smooth one-handed draws. Law enforcement agencies have adopted the Fletch series for off-duty carry due to its reliability and professional appearance under business attire.
