FALCO® HOLSTERS, WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Ft. Lauderdale, FL – September 19, 2023 – FALCO® Holsters, globally recognized for exceptional artisanship in every handcrafted, purpose-built leather holster, was recently featured in the 2023 Guns & Ammo Carry magazine in a story titled “FALCO Holsters Mastering Old-World Craftsmanship and High Tech” written by Kevin Reese. The article chronicles the origin of FALCO Holsters, the history of its medieval home, and how it grew from a garage business into a state-of-the-art international manufacturer. 

“When people ask why our holster company is named FALCO Holsters, we prefer to show them rather than tell them,” stated CEO Róbert Kováč. “Outdoor writer Kevin Reese visited our world headquarters in Slovakia, so after our factory tour, we took him to our local falconry school where handcrafted leather gloves are a staple for the students learning to engage with birds of prey. Our gun holster business began after years of hand-making gloves for falconers, offering protection from sharp talons.”

According to the 2023 Guns & Ammo Carry article, “FALCO bridges an intriguing gap between old-world craftsmanship and advanced technology; however, the company successfully navigates and pays homage to both without compromising either. So far, it’s a recipe for success.”

The piece continues, “To be clear, few companies remain passionately devoted to producing world-class leather goods steeped in old-world artisanship. They have sacrificed legacy, tradition, leather quality, and customer service for large-scale automation or larger profit margins. FALCO remains a hold-out.” Kováč adds that those virtues are not for sale, “However, holsters crafted under the tenants of such attributes most certainly are. His flexibility here is zero.”
