The 1791 Gunleather BH2.4 Optic Ready OWB Paddle Holster delivers secure retention and quick access for red dot equipped handguns. This premium leather holster accommodates optic-mounted pistols while maintaining the classic aesthetic and craftsmanship 1791 Gunleather is known for.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard holsters that force users to remove optics, the BH2.4 features an open-top design specifically engineered for red dot sights and reflex optics. The signature brown leather undergoes a specialized tanning process that creates water resistance while maintaining flexibility. Premium cowhide construction provides 50% more durability than synthetic alternatives while developing a rich patina over time.
