F.L.E.T.C.H. 1911 3 1/2''-Black-Right Hand
The Galco F.L.E.T.C.H. 1911 3 1/2" outside the waistband holster for 1911 pistols is built for shooters and professionals who demand a leather holster that delivers both security and speed. Galco hand-molds each F.L.E.T.C.H. to the exact dimensions of your 1911, starting with premium U.S. vegetable-tanned leather from the top 2% grade hides—the kind of material that breaks in to a custom fit and improves with use. This right-hand model features a high-ride design with an open muzzle that fully covers the triggerguard while leaving your sights clear, so you can draw and present without obstruction.
The F.L.E.T.C.H. sits comfortably on the hip thanks to a body-side contour that distributes pressure evenly across your waistline, making it practical for all-day carry or range sessions. A reinforced thumb break retention strap keeps your 1911 secure during movement and training, while the low-cut grip profile ensures your hand reaches the pistol grip fast when you need it. Double-stitched seams and a protective coating applied over hand-rubbed finishes mean this holster is built to last through years of carry and use.
Galco's black finish is achieved through multiple applications of penetrating oils and a final transparent protective layer that resists dirt, moisture, and the wear of everyday carry. Whether you're a competitive shooter, law enforcement, or someone serious about pistol carry, the F.L.E.T.C.H. delivers the kind of purposeful engineering and craftsmanship you expect from a fighting holster.
