The 1791 Gunleather BH2.1 Optic Ready OWB Paddle Holster (brand part no. ORPDH21VTGR) brings 1791’s optic-ready 2.1 pattern to a distressed Vintage leather finish that develops character with use. Sized for mid-frame and sub-compact pistols with 3.5-to-4-inch barrels, this outside-the-waistband paddle holster fits Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, and Springfield XD9 pattern pistols equipped with a slide-mounted optic. The adjustable paddle mount lets you take the holster on and off without removing your belt, and a molded leather sweat guard shields the pistol’s finish from hammer contact. It’s a solid choice for carriers who want genuine hand-crafted leather with the flexibility to run an optic.
