The 1791 Gunleather BH2.4 Optic Ready OWB holster delivers precision-molded retention for red dot equipped pistols while maintaining the classic appeal of premium leather construction. This left-hand belt slide holster accommodates popular striker-fired platforms including the Walther PPQ, Sig Sauer P320, and Springfield XD-M series with mounted optics. The stealth black finish provides a professional appearance suitable for both duty and civilian carry applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard leather holsters that require modification for optic-equipped firearms, the BH2.4 features factory-engineered clearance for red dot sights and raised iron sights. The 2.4-inch belt slide design positions the firearm closer to the body than traditional pancake-style holsters while distributing weight across a broader surface area. Premium American steerhide construction maintains structural integrity under stress while developing a custom fit through break-in periods that typically span 100-150 draw cycles.
