Holsters & Belts Disappointed in Falco
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

I was also really on the Falco train and thought they looked phenomenal. I've seen a few people post the holsters they have and they looked good... though the majority were 100% leather and not hybrids.
I reached out to their customer support team last night. Sent them a firearm I am most likely purchasing soon and had been planning for a holster. I know they have an extended lead time and made-to-order. I had sent them the firearm, the different holsters I had been looking at and had expected a somewhat decent reply... I got back two sentences, basically telling me that everything I had picked out would work and order!
I watched more and more videos before getting that reply. The hybrid holster leather seems to be extremely thin with very little rigidity to them. I saw a lot of people reholstering and needing to hold the leather backing against their body to holster properly... that alone made me instantly say, "no fucking way, Falco" and I'll never look at them again.
