The 1791 Gunleather BH1S Optic Ready OWB holster delivers premium leather construction with modern optic compatibility for 1911 pistols. This classic brown leather belt slide holster accommodates red dot sights while maintaining the traditional aesthetic that made 1791 Gunleather a trusted name among firearms enthusiasts.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard leather holsters that require modification for optic-equipped pistols, the BH1S features an enlarged sight channel specifically engineered for red dot compatibility. The premium steerhide construction undergoes a specialized tanning process that creates superior durability compared to synthetic alternatives. This holster maintains consistent retention through precise molding that accommodates the 1911's unique profile without compromising draw speed.

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F without leather cracking or retention loss. The holster maintains proper firearm positioning during extended carry periods, making it suitable for law enforcement duty use, competitive shooting, and concealed carry applications. The leather naturally conforms to the user's body over time while preserving structural integrity.
