Premium Tan Leather for Timeless Look and Long-Term Wear
Leather holsters remain a favorite for a reason: they’re comfortable against the body, durable under regular use, and they age with character. The Galco Fletch in tan leather offers a classic, refined appearance that pairs perfectly with traditional carry belts and everyday attire. Over time, quality leather develops a natural patina, giving your holster a personalized look while continuing to provide reliable structure and performance.
This holster is made for those who appreciate:
The classic feel of leather over synthetics
A holster that breaks in naturally with use
A clean tan finish that stands out in a tasteful, traditional way
OWB Belt Slide Design for Comfortable Everyday Carry
The Fletch is an OWB (outside-the-waistband) belt slide holster, a carry style that many prefer for comfort—especially during extended wear, range sessions, or driving. OWB carry often feels less restrictive than IWB (inside-the-waistband) carry, and it can provide a smoother draw stroke due to easier access and less clothing interference.
The belt slide configuration helps keep the holster stable and close to the body, which can improve concealment under a jacket, overshirt, or hoodie while maintaining a secure, confident carry position.
Ideal for:
All-day carry comfort
Range practice and training
Open carry where permitted
Concealed carry under outerwear (depending on clothing choice)
Designed to Fit 1911 Pistols
Fit matters more than almost anything in a holster. The Galco Fletch FL212R is designed to fit 1911-style pistols, giving 1911 owners a purpose-built OWB carry solution that complements the platform’s heritage. Whether you’re carrying a 1911 for defense, using it as a training pistol, or taking it to the range, a properly fitted holster helps support safe handling, consistent positioning, and a repeatable draw.
When shopping for a 1911 OWB holster, the Fletch is a strong match for shooters who want classic styling without sacrificing practical everyday usability.
Right-Hand Orientation for Natural, Efficient Draw
This model is right-hand (RH), meaning it’s intended for right-handed shooters drawing from the right side. The holster’s orientation supports a natural grip acquisition and consistent draw path—important for both defensive readiness and training consistency.
If you’re specifically searching for:
Secure, Stable Belt Carry
A good OWB holster should do two things well: stay put on the belt and carry the firearm comfortably. Belt-slide OWB holsters are popular because they can provide excellent stability when paired with a proper gun belt. The result is less shifting during movement and a carry position that feels consistent whether you’re standing, walking, or seated.
For best results, pair this holster with a sturdy belt designed for carry—this helps maximize stability, comfort, and overall performance.
Who This Holster Is For
The Galco Fletch OWB is a great fit for:
1911 owners who want a traditional leather carry solution
Shooters who prefer OWB comfort and accessibility
Anyone building a classic belt holster setup with a timeless tan look
Range-goers and trainers wanting reliable positioning and stability
Users who want a premium holster that complements the 1911’s heritage
