The 1791 Gunleather 4WH1SBLL delivers four distinct carry positions in a single premium leather holster designed specifically for 1911 pistols with 3-4 inch barrels. This ambidextrous design accommodates left-handed shooters with secure retention and rapid deployment capabilities. The stealth black finish provides professional concealment while maintaining the durability expected from full-grain leather construction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed-position holsters that limit carry options, the 4-Way system transitions seamlessly between inside-the-waistband (IWB), outside-the-waistband (OWB), small-of-back, and cross-draw positions. The proprietary belt clip system locks securely at multiple cant angles without requiring separate hardware. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple holsters while maintaining consistent muscle memory across carry positions.
Key Features
- Four carry positions: IWB, OWB, small-of-back, and cross-draw configuration
- Premium stealth black leather construction with reinforced stitching
- Fits 1911 pistols with 3-4 inch barrel lengths including Commander and Officer models
- Left-hand specific design with optimized draw angle
- Adjustable retention system maintains secure pistol hold
- Low-profile belt clip accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Open muzzle design allows for various barrel lengths within range
Field testing demonstrates reliable retention across all four carry positions with consistent 1.2-second draw times. The leather construction breaks in naturally while maintaining structural integrity through extended daily carry. Weather resistance proves adequate for normal environmental exposure, though extended moisture contact requires proper drying. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent grip presentation, while concealed carriers benefit from the reduced printing profile in IWB configuration.
