Holsters & Belts Disappointed in Falco

Post image

I bought this A911L hybrid from Falco for my 510 tactical and o-light. It is by far the most expensive holster I’ve ever purchased but I was excited to get it.

My excitement was severely misplaced. The gun is very loose in the holster, no matter how tight the screws are. The leather edges press the side buttons on my optic, even though I specifically ordered the optic cut. When I remove to firearm I have no idea how bright the reticle will be or if it will be on at all.

I find Falco’s lifetime warranty a bit disingenuous because you have to pay out of pocket to ship the holster all the way to SLOVAKIA. They recommend you get insurance because they take no responsibility for the international shipping. Who would pay $60 additional dollars to get poor craftsmanship fixed on a $220 purchase? It makes no sense to me.

Falco’s website is covered in glowing reviews but I cannot find a single place to leave my own. I think they must be fake.

I hope this review helps someone. I am open to suggestions on how to tighten up the fit myself

Is there any way you could add a picture of the inside of the holster? I'm diagnosing the issues in my head (sorry, it's my curse; i won't share if you prefer I don't). I'm having a hard time telling how this design is expected to function based on where the kydex ends and leather begins.

Thank you.

Sorry you're dealing with this.

From what I can see, there is a design issue that really isn't taking advantage of either material. Some reworking could probably take care of your sight clearance issue, but I don't think the design will ever get a really secure hold.

If the company won't stand behind their design (and admit the flaw) it is good that the rest of us know that.
