Classic Single Action Design with Modern Craftsmanship
The 1791 Single Action Holster 5.5" blends old-world leather craftsmanship with advanced production techniques to create a fully featured, dependable revolver holster:
Built specifically for traditional single action revolvers, not as a generic fit.
Thick, high-quality leather gives it a timeless Western look that pairs perfectly with classic wheelguns.
Handcrafted to provide a secure, close-to-the-body fit for stable, comfortable carry all day long.
If you love the look and feel of classic leather with your six-shooter, this holster is designed for you.
Ambidextrous OWB Holster – Strong Side or Cross Draw
This model is fully ambidextrous, making it incredibly flexible for different carry styles and shooters:
Can be worn strong-side on either the right or left hip.
Works great for cross-draw carry, a traditional and comfortable option for single action revolver shooters—perfect for driving, ATV riding, or sitting in a blind.
The belt loop design supports both orientations, so you can experiment and choose the position that works best for your body and draw technique.
Whether you’re left-handed, right-handed, or just like having options, this holster has you covered.
Premium Leather Construction – Vintage Brown Matte Finish
1791 Gunleather is known for using 100% Certified American Heavy Native Steerhide, and this single action holster is no exception:
Thick, durable leather is double-stitched at stress points for added strength and longevity.
The Vintage Brown matte finish delivers a rugged, broken-in look right out of the box, while still developing character and patina over time.
The interior naturally molds to your revolver with use, improving retention and comfort as the holster breaks in.
This is not a flimsy import—it's a holster built to last for years of range sessions, trail rides, and open carry.
Secure Retention with Ambidextrous Safety Strap
For added security, the 5.5" single action holster includes an ambidextrous safety strap designed to keep your revolver firmly in place:
Works for both right- and left-handed setups.
Helps secure the revolver in the holster during active movement—ideal for horseback riding, hunting, hiking, or ATV use.
Simple snap closure gives you a balance of retention and relatively quick access once you practice your draw.
If you want a bit more insurance than an open-top holster provides—especially with heavy single actions—this strap is a big plus.
Fits Most Popular Single Action Revolvers (5.5" & Shorter)
This Size 5.5 single action holster is a multi-fit design that accommodates many popular SA revolvers with 5.5" barrels and shorter. Vendor fit lists include models such as:
Ruger Single Six, Wrangler
Heritage Rough Rider
Cimarron Pistolero, Colt-style SAA clones
Colt & EMF Californian, Taylor’s & Co. Cattleman
Similar-frame .22 and centerfire single actions within the same barrel length category
This multi-fit approach gives you excellent retention and flexibility if you own multiple six-guns with similar dimensions. Always confirm fitment with your specific revolver, especially if it has oversized grips or custom hammers.
Comfortable, Stable OWB Belt Carry
Designed as an OWB belt holster, the SA-RVH-5.5-VTG-A offers stable, all-day comfort:
Reinforced belt loop keeps the holster securely anchored on your gun belt.
Rides at a practical height for a natural, comfortable draw stroke.
Leather backing distributes weight across your hip, making even heavier steel-framed revolvers easier to carry for long periods.
Pair it with a quality 1.5"–1.75" gun belt and you’ve got a rock-solid open carry or range setup for your favorite single action.
Old-School Look, Modern Performance
This 1791 Single Action holster gives you the classic frontier-style look with the benefits of modern design:
Traditional vintage brown color matches Western rigs, lever guns, and cowboy-action aesthetics.
Modern production ensures consistent quality, alignment, and retention.
Built for open carry, range use, CAS-style practice, trail carry, and everyday ranch work.
If you’re the type of shooter who loves the feel of a single action on your hip, this holster hits that sweet spot between heritage and performance.
