After his son turned 21 and obtained a concealed-carry permit, a father bought him a Ruger LCP as a starter pistol. The pair later tried a pair of Falco Holsters from Slovakia: the A913 Kydex pocket holster at 99.95 dollars and the AM02 leather IWB/OWB holster at 69.95 dollars.

Falco began as a family leather business in 1989 after founder Ivan Kovac honed sewing skills during military service repairing parachutes and making falconry gloves; Robert Kovac assumed leadership in 2007. The company produces Kydex, nylon, hybrid and leather holsters along with magazine pouches, slings and bags for a wide range of firearms.

The AM02 uses Italian leather with a stainless steel clip and belt tunnel for 1.5-inch belts plus a reinforced sweat guard.
