1791 Gunleather has introduced two new holsters comprising the Military Classic series. Both models are leather and revivals of classic US military designs. If you have either a 1911 or Hi-Power clone (or would like to) keep reading to check them out.


Holsters @ TFB:


First up is the M3 tanker shoulder holster. This classic design has a retention strap across the grip and a tie-down strap that attaches to a belt. The M3 holster can also be used without securing the belt tie-down.


The other Military Classic holster is a Model 1916 hip holster. 1791 brands it the G.I. Hip Holster. It has a tie-down strap to loop around the leg. This is a full-flap design, which protects the gun from the elements and rough handling.


Both holsters are available in brown or black finishes. Both also retail for $99.99 and are available on the 1791 Gunleather website.
