I also use a Galco Fletch, but mine is a Fletch II.

I also use the Galco mag pouch.

Mine was originally the same color as the OP, but I used some Cordovan shoe polish to mke it a tad darker.



I absolutely love my holster. It fits my Walther P99 Military perfectly.

Galco makes some fantastic gun leather. Nothing i have ever tried, custom or otherwise has satisfied me like my Galco leathers have.

Yeah, I was very surprised at the quality of my Fletch II holster.

Admittedly, it was more expensive than I thought it would be (bought it on sale for $40 with the mag pouch), but I am now totally convinced that if you want a really good holster, it should cost at least $50 at normal price.

The holster I have originally costs a little more than $70 if I remember correctly. Once I got it the color I wanted, and got it broken in properly, it truly is a thing of beauty.

The Fletch series is just about perfect for a "dress holster" as far as looks go. They don't look all tactical, and if you take the time to polish them like you should, they actually look nice and sophisticated...much less likely to raise suspicion.

In my experiences with OC, your appearance means a LOT. Whenver I open carry (which is just about every day), I take great pains to appear clean-cut and appropriate. Having a holster that looks clean and well taken care of is just icing on he cake...and gives people the first impression of the OC'er as being a responsible, level-headed person. You are much less likely to arouse suspicion, and are much MORE likely to leave a favorable opinino of OC'er in other people's minds if you actually take the time to care about how you look while carrying.

Holster:Black leather Wild Billbrand (paddle)bought at a gun show

Ammo: .40 cal. 180 grain Federal Supreme hollow points

I have had a lot of offers to buy my Sig at the gun show who spotted it, but no way am I sellingunless the offer wastoo good to pass up.
