The future of custom-fit holsters? Perhaps. The folks at Falco are experimenting with extra-tough 3D printing materials — durable enough thus far in testing for everyday or field use.
The underlying benefit of 3D printing technology is you only produce what you need using the exact same standard equipment. No more need for custom molds and machines that don’t pay for themselves unless you produce thousands or tens of thousands of units. That one “printer” loaded with whatever CAD-like design you want prints one or many products. That eliminates inventory, storage, crowded dealer shelves and more.
For gun owners, it may represent the solution to finding that holster to fit their specific combination of handgun, light or laser. We all know how hard it is for holster makers to design, produce and stock millions of variants to cover all the possible combinations.
The model shown here is for Glock pistols, and we’ll continue to run it through the wringer so we can report back down the road. FalcoHolsters.com
