The 1791 Gunleather RVH2S delivers premium leather craftsmanship for Smith & Wesson K-Frame revolvers. This outside-the-waistband holster combines traditional American leather work with modern retention technology. Built for daily carry and range use, the RVH2S provides secure firearm retention while maintaining quick access when needed.
What Makes This Different
Handcrafted from full-grain American steerhide, this holster features 1791's signature brown finish that develops character over time. The proprietary leather treatment process creates a water-resistant barrier while maintaining breathability. Unlike synthetic alternatives, this genuine leather construction molds to the specific contours of K-Frame revolvers, creating a custom fit that improves with use.

Field testing demonstrates consistent retention across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F without material degradation. The leather maintains its shape during extended wear periods, making it suitable for law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian carry. The open-top design facilitates clean draws during competitive shooting while the reinforced mouth prevents collapse after repeated holstering.
