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.



There isn't many ideas he isn't willing to consider.

That was the Mr in the pics.

He wears pink too!

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

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