Deer hide is a different kind of leather. It flexes more than cowhide, resists wear better than you would expect from something this soft, and it breaks in fast without going floppy. That is the whole idea behind the 1791 Fair Chase, which is handcrafted from wild, ethically harvested American whitetail deer hide. This optic ready, light bearing version keeps everything people like about the original and adds clearance for the gear most carry pistols wear these days.
The OR-LB-FCD is cut to accept most rear mounted red dot sights along with a wide range of rail mounted lights and lasers, so you do not have to strip your pistol down to carry it. The open top design keeps your draw quick and simple, and the soft inner liner protects your finish while the leather molds to your gun over time. A strong steel belt clip, beveled so it does not dig into you or chew up your belt, keeps the whole rig planted through a full day of wear.
This is a multi-fit holster, and the size 4 covers a healthy list of popular carry guns, including the Glock 19, 19X, 23, 25, and 32, the Sig Sauer P225 and M11-A1, the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9, Ruger SR9 and SR9c, and the Taurus G2 family, among others. Since light and laser footprints vary quite a bit, it is worth a quick look at 1791's compatibility chart to confirm your exact pistol and light combo before you order.
Lefties tend to get the short end of the stick on leather holsters, so it is nice to see a true left hand build here rather than an afterthought. Inside the waistband, the deer hide rides soft against your side regardless of body type, and the slim profile disappears under a t-shirt. If you want leather comfort without giving up your optic or your light, this one checks both boxes.
It is a multi-fit design, so one holster covers a range of similar sized guns. The size 4 handles popular compacts like the Glock 19, 19X, 23, 25, and 32, along with the Sig P225 and M11-A1, S&W Shield 9, Ruger SR9 and SR9c, and Taurus G2 series pistols. Since you will be carrying with a light attached, double check 1791's fit chart for your exact pistol and light combination.
Yes, the optic ready cut clears most rear mounted red dots, including the common micro footprints found on carry pistols. The open top design means your optic never has to fight its way past a hood or strap on the draw. Taller enclosed emitter optics are worth verifying with 1791 first.
The holster is molded with a channel for a rail mounted light, and retention works best with the light installed since the leather is shaped around it. You can carry without one, but expect a looser fit up front. If you carry without a light most of the time, the standard Fair Chase is the better pick.
Deer hide is softer and more flexible than cowhide while still being surprisingly tough, which is why 1791 calls this their most comfortable holster. It conforms to your body faster, so the break-in period is short. The soft inner liner also goes easy on your pistol's finish during daily carry.
