Description
The 1791 4-Way Holster is built for people who want flexibility without sacrificing quality. Instead of buying multiple holsters, you get four carry positions from a single piece of hand-molded American steerhide. That means vertical carry on your hip, horizontal at the small of your back, cross-draw for vehicle use, or tucked inside your waistband when you need minimal profile. The versatility isn't just marketing talk either – the hand-molded leather and steel belt clip are engineered to work reliably in each position.
Leather That Breaks In Right
The holster comes stiff and tight, which is exactly what you want. That initial tension means superior retention from day one, and the leather gradually molds to your specific gun as you wear it. Most users report the break-in takes a few days to a couple of weeks depending on use. Following the included care instructions speeds this along. Once broken in, the holster delivers what 1791 holsters are known for – a secure fit with excellent retention.
Built for Daily Carry
At five inches tall and four-and-a-half inches long, the 4-Way stays low profile without feeling bulky. Size 2 is sized for compact and subcompact pistols like the Glock 42/43, Sig P365, and similar-framed guns. The dimensions keep it manageable whether you're running it IWB or OWB. Weighing just 0.378 pounds, it won't slow you down, and the low-profile design means you can modify it for small lights or laser attachments if needed.
Quality That Lasts
Every 1791 holster is handcrafted using 100% Certified American Heavy Native Steerhide with reinforced double stitching. The steel clip won't bend or fail, and the hand-molded exterior provides the retention and reliability you need from a carry holster. The company backs every holster with a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship and hassle-free returns, so you're covered no matter what.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to break in this holster?
The break-in period typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on how often you wear it. The leather comes intentionally stiff to maximize retention, and it gradually molds to your specific gun. Following the included care instructions can speed up the process. Once broken in, the holster provides excellent fit and retention.
Can I adjust the cant between the different carry positions?
Yes. The holster supports four distinct carry positions – vertical OWB, horizontal at the small of the back, cross-draw, and inside-the-waistband. You can reposition it around your belt as needed throughout the day or week. The versatility lets you find the carry method that works best for your gun and situation.
What firearms fit in Size 2?
Size 2 is designed for compact and subcompact framed pistols, including models like the Glock 42/43, Sig P365, Ruger LCP Max, Kahr CW380, and S&W Bodyguard.

Does it work with lights or lasers?
The holster can be modified to fit small lights and laser attachments if needed. Its low-profile design allows for flexibility in customization without compromising the core structure or retention.
