1791 Gunleather 1911 Holster, Right Hand OWB Leather Gun Holster for Belts fits All 1911 Models with 4" and 5" Barrels

This holster is by far the best holster I have ever owned. I have been carrying a handgun both for personal reasons and professional reasons for 30 years and have at least 40 holsters to go with my collection of firearms. I cannot recall ever being this impressed with a holster. This holster fits my Springfield Armory Trophy Match perfectly. I could not ask for a better fit. The holster is made out of thick leather that is form fitted to the weapon and requires no break in time. The holster holds the weapon close to the body and is extremely comfortable.Some have written that this holster is good or excellent for the price point. Let's be clear -- this holster is an outstanding piece of craftsmanship and is under priced based upon what the current market offers for approximately $50.00. Most other holsters on the market at this price point are made with thin, flimsy leather that in most cases barely holds the weapon well or they are half holsters not covering the entire body of the weapon. This is a stout holster and covers the entire body of the weapon and looks good doing it. This holster would be a great deal at twice the price.After my 1911, my second favorite weapon to carry is an N frame S&W 44 magnum and I am waiting for 1791 to produce a holster for this revolver so I can buy that one too.Based upon my experience with this holster, if you need a holster for your 1911, then this is the one to buy. You will not need another.

I was not sure what to expect with this holster, but I can honestly say it has quickly become one of my favorites. I've owned everything from elcheapo to custom-made and the quality of this holster is second to none. Extra thick leather. Quality stitching and design. Was very tight when I got it. But like has been suggested by others, wrap your pistol in saranwrap and leave it in the holster a day or two. Will come out with a perfect fit.

I love this holster and is a work of art as are most of the 1791 holsters. I have about six of them and numerous magazine holsters. If you follow the instructions and use the freezer bag to insert it, it will fit perfectly. I generally will coat the Holster with a light coat of mnk oil or mink oil paste on the outside and on the inside slightly, heavier where it will contact your skin and where you will generally sweat and I’ve had good luck with all my Leather. The fit is fantastic. The leather is heavy duty stitching and overall it’s a beautiful work of art. I love this holster. It fits my Kimber Tactical pro 2, Colt series 70 Gold cup perfectly.

Let me start off by saying, up until now recently experience with a side arm consisted of a Glock in a Black Hawk holster. Which is to say a polymer gun in a plastic holster. Further I prefer the paddle option for the Black Hawk. When, finally I decided to expand my horizons, I picked up the Springfield Armory Range Officer Elite Target, as a previous reviewer concluded, I couldn’t bring myself to put a full size 1911 with a steel frame into a plastic holster.I happened upon 1791, a company I had never heard of, so I did a little research on the company. I liked the company philosophy regarding civil rights, and the holsters seemed to be well reviewed, so I decided to go with them, and I’m very glad I did.When I first received the holster, I was surprised by how stiff it was, again that’s just me not being familiar with leather holsters. I was expecting something more malleable, like a baseball glove. I didn’t see how something so stiff could be comfortable to wear. It is however very comfortable. The level of comfort is even more surprising given the 41oz dry weight of the Range Officer.The holster holds the gun securely. Right out of the box it was a little snug, so I did the plastic shopping bag trick and that loosened it up just enough. The gun is held very close to the body. Something else I had to get used to. In my case it’s right against my middle age center handles, but from a concealment point of view it’s just what I would want. Granted a full size 1911 is not what anyone would consider a concealment pistol, if you are looking for a holder for a concealed carry arm the 1791 would do the trick.The quality and craftsmanship of the holster are top notch. I fully expect this holster to provide many years of service. In fact, I like the holster so much I subsequently purchased a dual magazine holster from 1791 to match the holster. I can highly recommend 1791 if you are looking for a top quality leather. As a bonus the price is very reasonable for the quality product you will be receiving.

Excellent holster for the money. In the past, I have spent a lot more for a lot less in terms of holsters. Comfortable to wear (at least as comfortable as any holster can be) and highly functional. Good retention and ease of reholstering.I recommend this as an excellent OWB holster.

I really like this holster. It appears well made (time will tell), fits like a glove, and is comfortable to wear. I do wish it was formed with the safety on, though, as I prefer to carry in condition 1. I'm sure the leather will adjust itself over time and use, but just seems like a bit of a design oversight.

Quality is very good. Fit is awesome to the gun. Comfortably sits on your side and hugs you where you have very little printing.

By far the best OWB holster for a full size 1911 I have tried. Fits my Rock Island 10mm like if was custom made . Not for 1911 with tac rail. Very well made with heavy duty leather and robust stitching. Barrel of 5 inch 1911 does not protrude out the bottom of holster so front site is protected and facilitates a fast , snag free draw. Their single stack OWB double mag pouch is a perfect match as well. Holds mags firmly in pouch with enough of the mag exposed for an easy grab for reload. Excellent products, excellent craftsmanship and I will definitely buy their products again. I hope the make a holster and mag pouch for my sig 226 because I'm definitely on board
