The Galco Fletch OWB Tan Leather Belt Slide Holster – Right Hand FL248R (UPC 601299022003) is a premium outside-the-waistband holster designed for shooters who carry classic full-size pistols and demand professional-grade comfort, retention, and concealment. Built specifically to fit the Sig P220, Sig P226, and Browning BDA .45, this high-ride belt holster combines Galco’s renowned craftsmanship with a body-hugging design that’s ideal for all-day concealed or open carry.
If you carry a duty-size SIG or Browning and want a leather holster that actually disappears against your body while still riding securely on your belt, the Galco Fletch FL248R is made for you.
High-Ride OWB Design – Better Concealment, Faster Draw
The Fletch “high ride” design keeps your pistol riding higher on the belt line, tucking the grip closer to your body. This gives you:
Improved concealment under jackets, vests, or untucked shirts
Easier access for a strong-side draw
A natural presentation angle that supports a fast, repeatable draw stroke
By placing the gun higher on your belt—rather than hanging low like some OWB rigs—the Fletch reduces printing and makes it easier to conceal a full-size Sig P226 or P220 without sacrificing speed.
Unique Two-Piece Construction – Contoured to Your Hip
One of the standout features of the Fletch is its two-piece forward-molded construction. Instead of molding both sides around the gun like a traditional pancake holster, Galco contours the body side to match the natural curve of your hip and puts all the gun molding on the outer side.
That design offers big advantages:
Significantly more comfortable carry against your body
Narrower profile than a typical pancake holster
A smoother body side with less bulk and fewer hard edges
A close, stable ride that doesn’t flop or shift during movement
You get the comfort of a custom-fit rig with the slim profile serious concealed carriers appreciate.
Premium Tan Steerhide – Classic Look, Serious Durability
The FL248R Fletch is constructed from premium steerhide in a rich tan finish.
Benefits of Galco’s leather build include:
Long-lasting durability with double-stitched seams for extra strength
A rigid, hand-molded holster body that retains its shape and retention over time
A refined, professional appearance suitable for range, duty, or plainclothes work
A leather interior that’s gentle on your pistol’s finish compared to many synthetics
As it breaks in, the leather conforms slightly to your body but still maintains the precise gun fit and secure draw you expect from a quality holster.
Reinforced Thumb Break – Security Without Sacrificing Speed
Unlike open-top holsters, the Fletch includes a retention strap with a reinforced thumb break for added security.
This gives you:
Positive retention to help keep the gun secure during movement
A quick, intuitive release using your thumb as you establish a firing grip
Extra peace of mind for duty, concealed carry, or active environments
The strap configuration is tuned to the specific firearm model, ensuring your Sig or Browning locks in securely while still allowing a clean draw when needed.
Butt-Forward Cant – Natural Strong-Side Carry
The Galco Fletch features a butt-forward cant, often favored for strong-side hip carry.
Advantages of this cant include:
Easier concealment of a longer grip (like on a SIG P226 or P220)
A more ergonomic wrist angle during the draw
Faster grip acquisition from behind-the-hip positions
Combined with the high ride height, the cant helps pull the grip toward the body, enhancing both comfort and concealment.
Fits Sig P220, Sig P226, and Browning BDA .45
This specific model, FL248R, is engineered to fit:
Sig P220, with or without rail
Sig P226, with or without rail, including models with a bobbed hammer
Browning BDA .45
If you rely on one of these classic full-size pistols, this holster is molded around their exact dimensions, providing a snug, secure fit.
Covered Trigger Guard and Combat Grip Accessibility
The Fletch is designed with both safety and speed in mind:
A covered trigger guard helps reduce the risk of anything contacting the trigger while holstered
The design offers full combat grip accessibility, allowing you to get a full, firing grip on the pistol while it’s still holstered for smoother draws and better control from shot one
This combination of safety and performance is a key reason the Fletch is one of Galco’s most popular designs.
Fits Belts Up to 1.75" – Stable, Secure Belt Slide
The Galco Fletch FL248R is a belt slide holster that fits belts from 1" up to 1.75" wide, giving you flexibility across common gun belts.
That wide compatibility helps you get:
A stable, non-shifting platform when paired with a quality gun belt
A secure ride for heavier, full-size pistols
Compatibility with both casual and dedicated carry belts
For best results, pair it with a sturdy 1.5"–1.75" leather or reinforced belt.
Right-Handed OWB Carry – Ideal for Concealed or Open Use
This right-hand model is built for OWB (outside-the-waistband) carry on the strong side.
It’s ideal for:
Concealed carry under a jacket or untucked shirt
Off-duty or plainclothes law enforcement
Range use and training days
Open carry in appropriate jurisdictions
The Fletch balances fast access with excellent concealment, especially considering it’s carrying full-size pistols, not subcompacts.
