Well, I've had a Glock Fletch that I used for 8 years, and a 1911 one - both bought in the last 1990s. They were both great holsters. I justw anted to try a lined holster for the Walther P99 I have. So, I went w/ Bianchi. I now see that the suede lining had no impact whatsoever on preventing holster wear. So, I suppose I could have just as well have bought another FLETCH holster. But, it's also nice to try something different as well.
I think U will like either holster. Just be aware that any new leather holster will be tight for a while. It took over a month for my Bianchi to loosen up. And, it's been so long since I bought the Galcos, but I remember that it was tight as well. Some people claim that putting the gun in a plastic grocery bag, and then putting that into the holster will help stretch the ;eather. I have never tried that, though.
So, anyway, don't get upset if the holster is very tight the first time U put the gun into it.
