The 1791 Gunleather ORPDHCVTGR Paddle Holster delivers secure retention and quick access for compact pistols with or without optics. This outside-the-waistband design accommodates red dot sights while maintaining the classic appeal of premium leather construction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard leather holsters that require modification for optics, this model features an optic-ready design that clears most red dot sights without compromising retention. The vintage leather construction provides a break-in period that creates a custom fit specific to each firearm. The paddle attachment system eliminates the need for belt threading while maintaining stability during the draw stroke.
