Robar233. The Del Fatti, for one thing, is a long wait. The web site states, we are no longer accepting new orders until further notice; also states they are working on orders from Oct. 2010.
They do have some in stock sometimes as you can check and see what's available; also they accept new orders for 3 days or so, but have to check the site for that as well.
Here's the link:

I've had the opportunity to handle both Meco and Del Fatti pocket holsters.
Matt's design and function of holsters is what others strive to emulate.
As kjtrains mentioned, keep an eye on Matt's site. You may find one there without too much difficulty. There may be a period of time before you see one, but he tends to favor making pocket holsters in small batches for the Seecamp and the R9.
You might also consider the folks at Milt Sparks. They also make a well-designed pocket holster and are well worth the wait.
-
If you would like the holster to be wider, I would ask Robert at Meco if he could make it wider. From my experience Robert has been more than willing to work with me with my bright ideas.
Sparks is nice, I had one. It took a long time to get, I sold the Sparks and kept my Meco.

Robert is the king of customizing.
He made a vest pocket holster by making a panel the size/shape of the pocket lining and placed the holster such that it was maintained at the level of the zipper opening to keep it upright and in place.
I outlined a pattern on a piece of newspaper of the pocket lining and zipper placement and sent to him.

Here it is - holster & panel inserted and pocket all zipped up:

Unzipped, the holster sits in the perfect position for easy access

Drawing from the pocket - smooth as silk

He also made a panel for me to use for stabilizing my IWB upright if I choose to carry in a bag or cargo shorts.

Joe. Mrsfosforos is female. She's entitled to the girlie fashions. ;D

Joe. Mrsfosforos is female. She's entitled to the girlie fashions. You need to learn about our Forum members. ;D
A thousand pardons. I guess i should have read the user name more closely.

Yep! Mrs does give sort of a clue. ;D

But the leather vest threw me off.

But you noticed the girlie shirt. ;D

yeah, i noticed the wedding ring and thought "only a married dude would wear a shirt like that. His wife probably got it for him."
-
Oh! MrsFosforus is now signed in. And I'm wrong!

That was the Mr in the pics.
He wears pink too!

He's the one on the right - with Robert (Meco) on the left.

that part is true.

Ut, Oh! Sorry!

Thanks for the feedback or at least some of it (only kidding). I will explore all possible options.

MrsFosforos is a very esteemed and valued member of this forum. She has always contributed tangible and useful information, not just banal posts that seem to creep in here on a daily basis.

You are most welcome and I forgot to mention knowledgeable.

So Mrs-
just curious what is the background on the user name, Mrs Matchsticks?

It isn't too original, my husband uses Fosforos. When we started posting messages to the same discussion boards, I started using Mrs so folks would know we were a matched pair!

I would like to clarify my comment about my pocket holsters. I own several different makes and models holsters for my Seecamps and a Meco holster for my Rohrbaugh.
If I am wearing dress pants or jeans they all work perfectly. If I am wearing Vertx pants (CCW tactical friendly) with large pockets they all tend to turn sideways during the day at some point. Not a major problem, the pistol stays in the holster. These happen to be my favorite casual pants/shorts. You can carry the essentials without looking like BDU's.
Three weeks ago I shot a 60 round course of fire with the Rohrbaugh and Meco. I was constantly re-holstering and drawing the pistol. I was wearing the Vertex pants and NEVER had a problem! The problem is not with the holster, the design, fit, and construction are perfect. The problem is with over-sized pockets in some styles of pants. If need be I imagine I could order a slightly wider holster for this style of pant.
Hopefully this clears up the question I had.
-
Could your pockets be altered to change the size/shape a little? A couple of seams might be all that would be needed. It seems to me since the holsters you have work with your other pants -- that altering the pockets that don't work, would be the easiest fix.
Or here's another example of one Robert made for a customer who sent size dimensions for him to make one specifically to provide stability for use in his cargo pants pockets.

If you want a larger panel OR custom fit, you can send him a paper outline of the pocket and he'll make one that will work for you.

I was just wondering since Fosforos means "matches" in spanish, i thought maybe you were in that business somehow. I haven't seen that word in years. At work, when i used to chew on cigars, i used to hear alot of "tiene fosforos?"

I'm sorry to derail the OP, but that reminds me of one of my favorite tshirts from tshirt.woot.com (http://shirt.woot.com/)

Would that be the WWF - World Wrestling Fosforos ? ;D

In regards to the Meco vs Del Fatti - Bothe are excellent quality holsters made by Master Craftsmen. Each a little different from the other. Robert is a little easier to contact (in my experience)
and will make you whatever shape, size or color you want and you will have it quicker. :D

For quickness, you can't beat Jim Powell, http://www.leatherandstuff.net/ he has about a one week turnaround.

Joe, just wondering if you know if he offers any exotic skin holsters I didn't see any on his site.

I dont know about that stuff. I usually just look to see if the leather looks good enough to hold up for my use. What would be the difference in various types of skins?

Yes sir Shark and Elephant are very durable
-
My vote goes to the Elephant hide! :)

Shark and elephant are the most durable IMO. Gator looks the best, but is not as abrasion resistant.
