1791 Gunleather Fair Chase Whitetail Deer Hide IWB Holster

The 1791 Gunleather Fair Chase IWB Holster is a handcrafted inside-waistband holster made from wild, ethically hunted Whitetail deer hide, available in Size 1 (not optic ready) and Size 5 (optic ready) for right-hand carry in brown. The multi-fit design accommodates a wide range of firearms within each size, making it a single holster that works across compatible platforms.

Comfort Built Into the Material

Whitetail deer hide is notably soft against the body, which matters for a holster worn inside the waistband for hours at a time. Because the Fair Chase holster sits directly against the wearer, the natural suppleness of the deer hide reduces the friction and stiffness that stiffer leathers can cause during extended carry. The material conforms gradually to the wearer's body and the firearm's profile over time.

Retention Without Bulk

The Fair Chase holster uses an open-top design paired with a steel clip beveled at the edges to minimize pressure points at the waistband. Open-top carry means the firearm is accessible without a thumb break or retention strap to clear, which suits carry styles where draw speed matters. The beveled clip keeps the holster seated securely while reducing the hard edge that a flat clip can press into the hip.

Handcrafted Construction

Reinforced stitching runs throughout the holster, contributing to long-term structural integrity where the leather panels meet and where the clip attaches. 1791 Gunleather backs each Fair Chase holster with a lifetime warranty. The "Fair Chase" name reflects 1791's stated sourcing standard: every deer must be taken with a single rifle shot or a single arrow from a bow.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Fair Chase IWB Holster suits right-hand carriers who prioritize all-day comfort and concealability, particularly those carrying compact to mid-size pistols that appear on the Size 1 or Size 5 compatibility lists. The open-top design suits carry styles where a fast, unobstructed draw is the priority.

This holster is not available in a left-hand configuration and is not listed in colors other than brown. Size 1 is not optic ready, so it does not accommodate pistols fitted with a red-dot sight. Firearms not on the stated compatibility list for a given size may not fit correctly and should not be assumed compatible.

Common Questions

The Fair Chase Size 1 IWB Holster (not optic ready) is compatible with the following models: Keltec 380; Kahr CM/PM40 and CM/PM9; Ruger LCP and EC9S; Sig Sauer P938 and P365; S&W CSX; and Walther PPK. Firearms outside this list are not confirmed to fit.

Which firearms fit the Size 5 holster?

Can I use this holster with a pistol that has a red-dot optic installed?

Size 5 of the Fair Chase IWB Holster is listed as optic ready and accommodates pistols fitted with a red-dot sight. Size 1 is not optic ready and is not designed to accommodate an optic-equipped pistol. Check the size's optic-ready designation before ordering.

What does "Fair Chase" mean in the product name?

The Fair Chase name reflects 1791 Gunleather's sourcing standard for the deer hide used in this holster. Every deer must be taken with a single rifle shot or a single arrow from a bow. 1791 states this ethical directive applies without exception to all hides used in Fair Chase products.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
