1791 RCH-3-BLK-R

Product Description

The 1791 RCH-3-BLK-R is a holster from 1791 Gunleather designed for concealed or open carry. This model is built to hold your firearm securely while allowing rapid access when you need it. The RCH series from 1791 is popular among shooters who want a reliable carry solution without unnecessary bulk.

Holsters serve one essential job: keeping your firearm positioned consistently so your draw is the same every time. A good holster protects the trigger guard, retains the gun during movement, and lets you access it quickly under stress. The 1791 RCH-3-BLK-R addresses those needs for daily carry.

What the RCH-3 Designation Means

The RCH series from 1791 uses a sizing system where the number indicates the size category. Size 3 typically fits mid-size and compact pistols, though exact compatibility depends on your specific firearm’s frame and slide dimensions. Before ordering, confirm that your pistol model is compatible with this size category.

Call 817-393-4000 to confirm fit for your specific handgun. Our staff can verify compatibility and answer questions about carry position and retention.

Choosing Between Inside and Outside Waistband Holsters

The carry method you select changes how you dress, how you move, and how quickly you can draw. Inside-the-waistband holsters sit between your pants and body, offering better concealment but requiring a looser waistband. Outside-the-waistband holsters sit on your belt outside your pants, providing faster access and more comfortable extended wear.

Many carriers keep both styles and switch based on clothing and activity. Western Sport stocks a full range of holsters so you can compare options in person.

What to Look for in a Carry Holster

Retention is the first priority. Your holster must hold the gun firmly during running, bending, and sudden movement, yet release cleanly when you establish a firing grip. Trigger guard coverage is non-negotiable; the entire guard must be enclosed to prevent accidental discharge.

Comfort matters for daily carry. Pressure points, sharp edges, and poor weight distribution make you adjust the holster constantly, which defeats the purpose of carrying in a consistent position. Break-in time varies, so test the holster during normal activity before relying on it.
