Description
The way you carry rarely stays the same all week. Some days call for a deep-concealment inside-the-waistband setup, others you're behind a desk or in the truck and a cross-draw makes life easier. The 1791 Gunleather 4-Way Holster hands you all of those options in a single piece of leather. It's set up for right-hand carry in Size 2, which covers a big lineup of compact and subcompact pistols including the Glock 42, 43 and 43X, Sig Sauer P365, Ruger LCP and EC9s, S&W Bodyguard, Kel-Tec 380 and P11, plus similar-framed guns.
What the 1791 4-Way Actually Does
The name is literal. This holster works in four positions: vertical cant OWB on the hip, horizontal cant for small-of-back carry, cross-draw on your support side, and inside-the-waistband when you want to tuck it away. The vertical hip ride feels the most natural to draw from and hides well under a jacket or hoodie. Horizontal small-of-back is easy to conceal while standing or walking, and the cross-draw position shines when you're seated in a vehicle or at a desk. Swapping between them is a matter of moving the clip and repositioning on your belt.
Leather and Build on the Stealth Black 4-Way
1791 builds these from 100% certified American heavy native steerhide with a hand-molded exterior, so the fit tightens up around your specific pistol as it breaks in. The leather is reinforced and double-stitched, and it rides on a sturdy American-made steel belt clip that's beveled for comfort and solid retention. The low-profile shape also leaves room to run certain compact lights or lasers.
Breaking In Your 1791 4-Way Holster
Like any quality leather rig, this one wants a short break-in. New out of the box it'll feel snug, which is exactly what you want for retention. Follow 1791's break-in steps and the mouth loosens to a smooth, consistent draw while still holding your gun securely. The Stealth Black finish keeps everything low-key for daily concealed carry, and 1791 backs the holster with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pistols does the 1791 4-Way Size 2 fit?
Size 2 is a multi-fit designed around compact and subcompact frames. It covers the Glock 42, 43 and 43X, Sig Sauer P365, Ruger LCP and EC9s, S&W Bodyguard, Kel-Tec 380 and P11, and other similarly sized pistols. Because it's hand-molded leather, the fit conforms tighter to your specific gun as it breaks in.
How do the four carry positions on the 4-Way holster work?
The holster supports vertical OWB on the hip, horizontal cant for small-of-back, cross-draw on your support side, and inside-the-waistband. You change positions by repositioning the belt clip and moving the holster along your belt. That flexibility lets you adjust your carry style based on your clothing, activity, or whether you're seated for long stretches.
Does the 1791 4-Way holster need a break-in period?
Yes, and that's normal for quality leather. It ships snug for strong retention and loosens into a smooth draw once you follow 1791's break-in process. A little time up front gives you a holster that holds securely and draws consistently for years.
Is this holster right-hand or left-hand?
This particular model is set up for right-hand carry. 1791 also makes the 4-Way in a left-hand version, so double-check the orientation matches your dominant hand before ordering.
