1791 Gunleather recently announced the introduction of Smooth Concealment and Fair Chase Deer Hide holster options for optics-ready and light-bearing handguns. These new holsters are designed to accommodate many popular micro red-dot sights and rail-mounted lights available on the market today.

The new optics-ready, light-bearing holster options from 1791 Gunleather are designed for inside-the-waistband carry and sport strong, beveled steel belt clips that will fit 1½-inch belts.

 

The new holsters, designed for inside-the-waistband carry, incorporate beveled steel belt clips that will fit 1½-inch belts, holding the holsters securely in place while maintaining a solid comfort level for the wearer. Additionally, both lines of holsters are multi-fit designs, with models available to fit pistols ranging from micro-compacts to full-size handguns, including models from companies such as Beretta, CZ, FN, Glock, Kimber, Ruger, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, Taurus, Walther Arms and more.

Both holsters are open-top designs, offering level 1 passive retention. To draw the pistol, simply pull up on the firearm with firm pressure to clear the holster. This helps maximize concealability and ease of accessing the handgun when needed.
