The 1791 Gunleather BH2.1 OWB Leather Belt Holster (brand part no. BH21BLBR) is an outside-the-waistband belt slide built for shooters who want one holster to cover a wide range of popular carry pistols. 1791 hand-cuts and molds every BH2.1 from Heavy Native Steerhide, then finishes it in a two-tone Black/Brown that looks as good on a duty belt as it does under a jacket. The open-top design keeps the draw fast and unobstructed, while the belt slide mount rides the holster close and steady through a full day of carry. It’s built for range days, daily carry, and everything in between where dependable, all-leather retention matters.

Key Specifications

• Mounts via a belt slide, which keeps the holster riding tight against the body for a low-profile carry.
• Open-top, outside-the-waistband build allows a fast, unobstructed draw without a retention strap to clear first.
• Cut from 100% Certified American Heavy Native Steerhide, giving the holster a rigid, break-in-free fit from day one.
• Finished with a strong beveled steel belt clip that adds comfort and keeps the holster from shifting on the belt.
• Stitched with reinforced seams throughout so the leather holds its shape under repeated draws.
• Sized as a multi-fit 2.1 pattern, covering Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, Springfield XD, and similar mid-size and compact frames.
