The 1791 Gunleather RVH3 delivers premium leather construction and reliable retention for S&W Governor revolvers. This outside-the-waistband holster combines traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality for everyday carry and range use. The classic brown finish provides a professional appearance while maintaining the durability expected from quality leather gear.
What Makes This Different
The RVH3 features hand-selected American steerhide that's been tanned and treated for long-term durability. Unlike synthetic alternatives, this leather holster molds to the specific contours of the Governor over time, creating a custom fit that improves with use. The belt slide design sits close to the body while maintaining quick access, and the reinforced stitching withstands repeated draw cycles without loosening or failing.

The RVH3 performs consistently across different carry scenarios, from daily concealed carry to open carry applications. The leather construction provides natural grip retention that secures the firearm without requiring additional mechanical devices. Weather resistance comes from the leather's natural oils and protective finish, though periodic conditioning maintains optimal performance in humid conditions.
