The Hunter Company 1145 Pro-Hide holster delivers secure outside-the-waistband carry for the Smith & Wesson Governor revolver with premium brown leather construction. This high-ride design positions the firearm closer to the natural draw angle while maintaining complete trigger guard coverage for enhanced safety.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard OWB holsters that sit low on the belt, the Pro-Hide 1145 features a high-ride configuration that reduces printing and improves concealment under jackets or untucked shirts. The belt slide design eliminates the bulk of traditional belt loops while providing rock-solid retention through precise molding. Hunter's vegetable-tanned leather construction offers superior durability compared to synthetic alternatives, developing a custom fit through break-in use.

Field testing demonstrates consistent draw times under 1.2 seconds from concealment with proper training. The leather construction provides natural grip texture that prevents slippage during rapid presentations, while the high-ride position keeps the grip accessible without sacrificing concealment.
