Falco adds hybrid IWB holsters for hip and appendix carry
Falco Holsters has rolled out two new hybrid IWB holster lines, the A915 and A916 series, giving concealed carriers fresh options for both hip and appendix carry.
Snapshot
According to a press release covered by Bearing Arms, Falco Holsters is launching four new models: the A915, A915 L, A916, and A916 L. The A915 line targets traditional hip IWB carry, while the A916 line applies Falco's TalonGuard platform to appendix carry, with light-bearing versions available for both.
Key points
- Hip carry option: The A915 and A915 L are tuckable hybrid holsters built for the 3 to 4 o'clock position, pairing a molded Kydex shell with an Italian leather backer that curves to sit against the hip.
- Appendix carry option: The A916 and A916 L use Falco's TalonGuard design, which encloses the trigger guard in molded Kydex for added passive retention while keeping leather against the body, with an optional claw to aid concealment.
- Fit and features: Both lines offer open-top, open-bottom construction, optional sweat guards, tuckable polymer clips, and compatibility with belts from 1.5 to 2 inches; the A915 and A915 L fit more than 2,600 handgun models, with the A915 L also covering over 180 lights and lasers.
- Pricing: MSRP runs from $129.95 for the standard A915 and A916 to $139.95 for the light-bearing A915 L and A916 L.
- Company reasoning: Falco Marketing Manager Martin Lukačko said the new designs came from customer requests for more tuckable hybrid options, calling the launch a response to that feedback.
Quick take
Bearing Arms writer Tom Knighton, who says he's a longtime fan of Falco's hybrid construction, notes the pricing is reasonable for the materials involved and says he's arranged to test samples of the new holsters himself, with a follow-up review to come.
