Overview
Built for handgun carriers who want optic compatibility without giving up the familiar BH holster fit, this model adds the OR cut needed to accommodate most optics while staying aligned with 1791’s Belt Holster lineup. It also includes a sweat guard or shield to help separate the firearm from the body and protect exposed controls such as manual safeties and decockers. That makes it a practical option for everyday carry setups where added protection and optic readiness both matter.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for optic-equipped handguns, so it is not the right choice if you do not need the OR cut.
- Fit is tied to the firearms supported by 1791’s BH line, which means compatibility is specific rather than universal.
- The sweat guard adds protection and control coverage, but it also adds material between the firearm and body.
- This is a belt holster format, so carry style and ride position are fixed by that design.
