Description
The 1791 Gunleather BH2.4S brings genuine craftsmanship to outside-the-waistband carry. Built from 100% certified American heavy native steerhide, this paddle holster delivers the quality and durability you'd expect from a maker that's spent years perfecting gunleather. The leather is substantial without being stiff enough to be a hassle when drawing or reholstering.
Optic Ready Design and Multi-Fit Compatibility
This paddle holster is built to accommodate full-size compact firearms with barrels between 3.5 and 4 inches, with 4-inch barrels fitting flush. The optic cut opens up compatibility with most pistol-mounted red dots and reflex sights, so you're not locked into iron sights if you want to upgrade. What makes the BH2.4S stand out is the multi-fit approach. Rather than being tailored to a single firearm model, it's molded to work across a wide range of platforms including FN 509s, HK compacts, Glock 45, Sig P320 variants, and many others. This versatility without sacrificing retention comes down to thoughtful design and handcrafted molding.
Practical Features for Everyday Carry
The adjustable paddle mount lets you attach and remove the holster without unhooking your belt, which changes how you think about carrying. The FBI cant positioning keeps your gun at a natural angle for a smooth draw, whether you're carrying open or concealed under a jacket or long shirt. A built-in sweat guard protects both your firearm and optic from body moisture while creating a comfortable barrier between you and the hammer. The open-top design means you get a quick draw without any thumb breaks or other mechanisms slowing you down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the BH2.4S paddle holster fit my specific pistol?
The BH2.4S is a multi-fit design optimized for full-size compact firearms with 3.5 to 4-inch barrels. Compatible models include FN 509, HK VP9 SK, Glock 45, Sig P320 Carry, Springfield XD Mod.2, and many others. Its open-bottom design accommodates longer barrels as well. Check the extensive compatibility list on the manufacturer's page to confirm your specific model.
How does the optic cut work, and will my red dot sight fit?
The optic cut is integrated into the holster profile to make room for most common pistol-mounted optics like Trijicon RMRs, Holosun, and similar reflex sights. The cut accommodates the optic while maintaining a secure fit for your firearm. Not every optic variant will work, so verify your specific sight if you have concerns.
Is the paddle removable if I want to switch to belt carry?
The paddle is designed as a permanent attachment to this holster and isn't swappable for a belt loop. If you prefer belt carry without the paddle, 1791 offers their BH2.4S in belt holster configurations as well.
How does the leather break in?
The steerhide starts firm to ensure proper retention, but it softens as you use and condition it. Many users report using the plastic bag molding method during break-in to speed up the process and get a perfect fit for their specific firearm. The leather shouldn't be excessively stiff out of the box, but it does improve with time.
