The 1791 Gunleather BH2.1 Optic Ready OWB Paddle Holster (brand part no. ORPDH21CBRR) takes 1791’s popular multi-fit 2.1 pattern and adds an optic cut for red-dot-equipped pistols. Hand-finished in Classic Brown leather, this outside-the-waistband paddle holster is built for shooters who’ve mounted an optic on a Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, or Springfield XD and still want a genuine leather carry option. The adjustable paddle lets you take the holster on and off in seconds without unthreading a belt, while a leather sweat guard protects the pistol’s finish from body contact. It’s a natural fit for range work, training, and everyday carry with an optic-equipped handgun.

Key Specifications

• Mounts via an adjustable paddle, letting you put the holster on or take it off in seconds without removing your belt.
• Measures roughly 10.85 inches in overall length to comfortably clear compact and mid-size slide lengths.
• Cut as a paddle holster rather than a belt slide, so it rides on the waistband itself rather than a belt loop.
• Includes a factory optic cut that accommodates most red-dot sights mounted on the slide.
• Built with a leather sweat guard that shields the pistol’s finish from moisture and prevents hammer gouging against your side.
• Retention is held by the molded leather fit itself, so no separate strap or button interrupts the draw.
• Sized for the multi-fit 2.1 pattern, covering CZ 2075 Rami, Glock, H&K, Ruger, and similar compact/mid-size frames.
• Also fits S&W M&P, Sig Sauer P229, Springfield XD, Taurus, and Walther pattern pistols sharing the same footprint.
• Finished in Classic Brown leather for a traditional look that pairs with a duty belt or plain-clothes carry alike.
