Description
The 1791 Optic Ready BH2.4S brings together solid craftsmanship and practical carry features in one reliable holster. Built from 100% American steerhide leather, it's designed to work with compact and mid-size pistols that sport 3.5 to 4 inch barrels. The open-top design keeps your draw smooth while the multi-fit construction handles a wide range of firearms without bulk.
What Makes the BH2.4S Stand Out
This holster features an optic cut that accommodates most pistol-mounted red dots, so your gun stays ready whether you're running iron sights or glass. The FBI cant positioning puts your grip at a natural angle for both quick access and concealment under a jacket or longer shirt. It's equally at home on the hip for open carry or tucked away for more discrete carry.
Belt-Slide Construction and Retention
The belt-slide mount keeps things simple and secure without extra adjustments. Your firearm sits snug thanks to hand-molded retention that develops its own perfect fit during the break-in period. The open bottom design works with standard barrels and accommodates longer barrels with slight protrusion, making this holster adaptable to your setup.
Built to Last
Double stitching at stress points and reinforced construction mean this holster handles daily carry without falling apart. The classic brown leather develops character over time while maintaining its structural integrity. Like all 1791 holsters, you get a lifetime warranty backing your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holster fit my specific pistol?
The BH2.4S is designed as a multi-fit holster for compact and mid-size firearms with 3.5 to 4 inch barrels. Compatible models include H&K VP9SK, FN 509, various Sig Sauer compacts like the P229, Glock 29, 30, and 45, and similar framed pistols. If you're unsure about your specific model, check with the retailer or 1791's compatibility list.
Does this holster work with all red dot optics?
The optic-ready cut accommodates most common pistol-mounted red dots like Holosun, Vortex, and similar systems. That said, the original design focuses on 4-inch barrel compatibility, and some larger optics may require fitment verification. It's worth confirming your specific optic will work before purchase.
How long does the leather need to break in?
New 1791 holsters come stiff from the factory, which is part of their durability. Most users recommend a break-in period of several days to a week. The traditional method is wrapping your firearm in a plastic bag and working it in and out of the holster gently to mold the leather to your specific gun. 1791 provides videos showing this process.
Can I conceal this holster under a shirt?
Yes, the FBI cant angle is specifically designed to help with concealment under a jacket or longer shirt. However, keep in mind this is an OWB holster, so concealment depends on your body type, clothing fit, and how deeply you want to carry. Many people use it for open carry or half-concealed carry with an outer layer.
