I'm trying to find an "OWB" holster for my 6" M15-2. Has anyone used one of GALCO's holsters? They seem to be about the only maker of every-day carry leather.

I'm also looking for replacement grips, wood or rubber. anyone used Hogue or Pachmayr?

Galco produces quality holsters and has for many years.  I've had/ have several. WRT grips- ebite is probably the best source to watch.

I've put Hogues on all of my Dans.  Makes shooting my 44 like shooting a .357 and makes shooting the .357s like shooting .38 wadcutters.

I like the Hogue rubber grips. I use them on the 715 I shoot every week in steel challenge matches.

The wooden Hogue finger groove grips are also very nice and provide great controllability.

I'll second the Hoague wood grips. They fit me so comfortably, even with full house loads I don't feel the need for recoil absorbing material.

As for holsters I've seen many suggest that any good brand to fit a S&W 686 should be fine. I've found if you have a V-H barrel the DW's square under-lug, as opposed to the S&W's rounded one its a bit of a snug fit, but doable.

The Ruger GP100s squarer lug is a better fit so I'd suggest checking out any for the GP 6"
