1791 Gunleather 4WH5 4-Way Vintage Leather Holster IWB/OWB Size 5

The 1791 Gunleather 4WH5 4-Way holster delivers premium American-made leather construction with versatile carry options for full-size pistols. This vintage leather holster adapts to both inside-the-waistband and outside-the-waistband carry positions with a single design.

What Makes This Different

Unlike rigid synthetic holsters, the 4WH5 features hand-selected certified American steerhide that forms to the firearm over time while maintaining its structural integrity. The vintage finish provides enhanced grip texture and natural water resistance. Four distinct carry positions eliminate the need for multiple holsters, offering crossdraw, appendix, strong side, and small-of-back configurations.

Key Features

• Premium certified American steerhide construction with vintage finish
• 4-way carry system: IWB/OWB crossdraw, appendix, strong side, and SOB positions
• Compatible with Glock 17, Springfield XD, S&W M&P, and HK VP9 pistols
• Reinforced stitching with bonded nylon thread rated for 50+ lbs tension
• Steel belt clip accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
• Open-top design allows rapid deployment without retention straps
• Right-hand configuration optimized for natural draw stroke

Field testing demonstrates consistent retention across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without material degradation. The leather naturally breaks in during the first 50-100 draws, creating a custom fit specific to the carried firearm. Law enforcement agencies report reliable performance during extended duty shifts, while competitive shooters appreciate the consistent draw angle across different carry positions.
