Carry a full-size 5.7×28 pistol in classic style with the Galco FLETCH™ OWB Belt Slide Holster. Handcrafted from premium tan steerhide, the FLETCH (short for “Fully Lined Edge-Trimmed, Concealable Holster”) is one of Galco’s most time-tested outside-the-waistband designs, offering a blend of professional aesthetics, secure retention, and fast, natural draws. This right-hand model FL458R is precision-molded to fit the FN Five-seveN USG/Mk2 and the Ruger-57, delivering a tight, glove-like fit that hugs close to the body for discreet concealment under a cover garment.
Why Choose the Galco FLETCH™ for Your Five-seveN or Ruger-57
Premium Steerhide Construction: Durable, vegetable-tanned leather with a smooth interior that’s gentler on finishes than rough molds or synthetic liners.
Deep Hand-Boning: Model-specific molding locks the pistol in solidly for confident, movement-proof retention—without relying on bulky straps.
Forward Cant for Faster Presentation: A classic FBI-style 10–15° forward cant promotes a full firing grip in the holster and natural, wrist-neutral draws.
Low-Profile, Belt-Hugging Ride: Dual wide belt slots pull the pistol in tight to the torso to minimize printing with full-size slides.
Covered Trigger Guard: Full-coverage design enhances carry safety while maintaining a clean draw stroke.
Edge-Finished, Double-Stitched: Neat edge trim and heavy-duty stitching increase longevity and resist daily wear.

Concealment-Focused Performance
High-Ride Height: Keeps the muzzle off the seat cushion and positions the grip for quick access while seated.
Contoured Sweep: Tapered muzzle end and radiused edges reduce hotspots for all-day comfort.
Stable Platform: Widely spaced belt slots distribute weight of the Five-seveN/Ruger-57’s full-size slide to reduce holster rock.
Ideal Use Cases
Concealed Carry Under Light Cover: Button-down shirts, hoodies, or light jackets conceal the long slide more effectively thanks to the FLETCH’s body-hugging ride.
Range & Training: Consistent indexing and repeatable draws support skill development and timed strings.
Plainclothes / Off-Duty: Professional leather look pairs well with business-casual attire while remaining discreet.
Break-In & Setup Tips
Dry Fit Check: Unload and verify clear. Insert and remove the pistol several times to feel the friction points.
Wrap Method (If Needed): For a snug new holster, wrap the unloaded pistol in a thin plastic bag and leave it seated for several hours to relax high spots.
Draw Practice: Conduct safe, slow-motion draws to burnish channels and establish muscle memory.
Use a Quality Belt: A rigid 1.5" gun belt prevents sag and preserves the intended cant/ride height.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe & Air-Dry: Remove sweat/oil with a soft cloth; allow to air-dry—avoid direct heat sources.
Condition Sparingly: Use leather conditioners sparingly to preserve shape and retention; avoid soaking.
No Solvents: Harsh cleaners can weaken stitching and finish.
What’s in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this holster fit optic-equipped slides or tall suppressor sights?
A: The FLETCH is molded for standard factory profiles. Some micro-red dots or taller sights may not clear—verify your setup before use.
Q: Is there an adjustable tension screw?
A: Retention is provided by precision hand-boning and the holster’s geometry. Break-in typically achieves the ideal draw/resistance balance.
Q: Can I use a 1.75" belt?
A: Slots are optimized for 1.5" belts. Some 1.75" belts may not thread or can distort the holster; choose a quality 1.5" gun belt for best results.
Q: Does it fully cover the trigger?
A: Yes—the trigger guard is fully covered for safe carry and reholstering.
