1791 Gunleather ORPDH23VTGR Optic Ready OWB Paddle Holster

The 1791 Gunleather ORPDH23VTGR delivers reliable outside-the-waistband carry for full-size pistols with red dot optics. This vintage leather paddle holster accommodates optic-equipped firearms without compromising retention or draw speed.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard holsters that require modification for optics, this design features an open-top construction specifically engineered for red dot sights. The premium leather construction maintains its shape through thousands of draw cycles while the paddle attachment system distributes weight evenly across the belt line. Traditional kydex alternatives lack the comfort and breathability that full-grain leather provides during extended carry periods.

Key Features

• Optic-ready design accommodates popular red dot sights without modification
• Size 2.3 fits Glock 17, 22, 31, and Walther PPQ M1/M2 models
• Premium vintage leather construction with reinforced stitching
• Paddle attachment system for quick on/off without belt removal
• Adjustable retention screw for custom draw resistance
• Right-hand configuration with 15-degree forward cant
• Sweat guard protects firearm finish from body moisture

Field testing demonstrates consistent retention across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The leather maintains flexibility in cold conditions while resisting deformation in heat. Law enforcement agencies report reliable performance during active duty scenarios, while competitive shooters appreciate the consistent draw stroke. The paddle system stays secure during physical activity without the pressure points common to belt-loop designs.
