Leather IWB & OWB Concealment Holsters
1791’s Smooth Concealment and Fair Chase lines are hand-molded leather IWB and OWB holsters, with the Fair Chase line built from deer hide for a softer break-in. Multi-fit sizing (like the 4 Way holster) covers several similar-frame handguns with one holster, reducing the guesswork in finding the right fit.
Kydex Holsters: The Tactical Line
1791’s Tactical Kydex line trades leather’s break-in period for consistent retention and faster draws straight out of the box — a common choice for range and duty use where a rigid, all-weather holster matters more than leather’s classic feel.
Hunting Gear: Slings & Shell Pouches
Beyond holsters, 1791’s Hunt line covers oiled leather rifle and shotgun slings and ambidextrous shell pouches — built with the same leather craftsmanship as their concealment holsters, aimed at hunters rather than concealed carriers.
Finding Your Size and Fit
1791 sizes holsters by number (like Size 03 or Size 04) rather than by exact gun model, with each size covering a range of similar-frame handguns. Always check your specific gun model against the listed fitment before buying, since two guns of similar size can still need different sizes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between 1791’s leather and Kydex holsters?
Leather holsters (Smooth Concealment, Fair Chase) offer a classic feel that molds to your gun over time; Kydex holsters offer consistent retention and a faster draw with no break-in period required.
How do I find the right 1791 holster size for my gun?
1791 sizes holsters by number rather than exact model — check your specific gun against each product’s listed fitment, since similar-frame guns don’t always share the same size.
Does 1791 make gear beyond holsters?
Yes — their Hunt line includes oiled leather rifle and shotgun slings and ambidextrous shell pouches, built for hunters rather than concealed carriers.
