Overview
Built for shooters who want a belt holster with added optic compatibility, this model follows the same fit pattern as 1791’s BH line while incorporating the OR cut needed to carry most optics. It also includes a sweat guard or shield to help keep the firearm from rubbing against the body and to protect exposed controls such as manual safeties and decockers. That makes it a practical option for everyday carry setups where comfort, control protection, and optic-ready function all matter.

- Designed for optic-equipped handguns, so it may not be the right fit if you carry a non-optic setup and do not need the OR cut.
- Compatibility is tied to the same firearm coverage as 1791’s BH belt holster line, so fit should be verified against your specific handgun and optic setup.
- The included sweat guard/shield adds protection between the holster and body, but it also adds another design element that may affect personal carry preference.
- This model is focused on carry protection and optic accommodation rather than broad, one-size-fits-all versatility.
