Galco FL266R Fletch OWB Tan Leather Belt Slide Holster for 4-4.25" 1911 - Right Handed

The Galco FL266R Fletch is a no-nonsense outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster built for shooters who carry a full-size 1911 and want a proven, simple design. This belt-slide holster in tan leather is sized for 4- to 4.25-inch 1911 barrels, making it a natural fit for Government and Commander-length pistols. If you run a 1911 for duty, sport shooting, or serious self-defense, the Fletch delivers the kind of straightforward carry that doesn't require a manual or a learning curve.

Galco has been making leather holsters since 1969, and it shows in the construction here. Tan leather wears in beautifully and develops character over time—it's also a practical choice for light and neutral carry. The belt-slide design rides low and tight to your body, keeping your gun stable whether you're moving through the field, working a match, or simply going about your day. The holster is cut for right-handed carry, and its open design allows for a smooth, reliable draw every time.

This isn't a tactical holster loaded with retention devices or angle adjustments. It's a leather OWB holster that does one thing well: carry your 1911 comfortably and securely. Whether you're an IPSC competitor, a working professional, or someone who appreciates a classic carry rig, the Fletch speaks the language of experienced shooters who value simplicity and durability over gimmicks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this holster fit my 1911 barrel length?

The Galco FL266R Fletch is designed for 1911 pistols with 4- to 4.25-inch barrels, which covers standard Government and Commander models. If your 1911 has a 3.5-inch Officer's barrel or a longer 5-inch barrel, you'll need a different model.

Is this holster suitable for concealed carry or open carry?

The Fletch is an outside-the-waistband (OWB) belt-slide design, which means it rides on the outside of your belt and is most practical for open carry. OWB holsters are typically worn at 3 o'clock (strong side), where they offer stability and fast access for sport shooting, duty carry, or situations where concealment isn't the priority.

Can I use this holster if I'm left-handed?

The FL266R is cut specifically for right-handed shooters. Galco makes a left-handed version (FL266L) if you need it.

What material is the holster made from, and how does it age?

The Fletch is made from tan leather, a time-tested material that develops a natural patina and becomes more supple with use. Leather is durable, comfortable against your body, and improves with age—qualities that have made it the choice of shooters and professionals for generations.
