Open Top Holster - Panther

Open Top Holster - Panther Description

OPEN TOP HOLSTER - PANTHER DESCRIPTION

This custom leather holster is designed for outside the waistband carry. The holster shares many features with Panther, the legendary wild cat it was named after. On top of these are quickness of draw, ultra low profile and robust construction. The holster is designed for the 4 o’clock carry position and it is one of the best dominant side holsters on our offer. This OWB holster comes in the pancake style and it features an open-top and open-muzzle design. The entire holster is made of premium Italian leather that is stitched together with high quality German threads. The most important parts of the holster are reinforced by double stitching, which enhances the holster’s durability.

The Panther will fit your gun like a glove. The perfect fit is a result of thermo molding techniques applied in its production. The holster is crafted by the hands of our craftsmen who mold it on the exact replica of your pistol or revolver. This tight, yet very snug fit also results in high retention. Thanks to the open-top design and very favorable cant, you will experience very smooth and quick drawing and reholstering.

The holster is quite robust, yet very easy to conceal, especially compared to other OWB holsters. The Panther is also very stable on one’s belt thanks to the evenly spaced belt slots. The belt slots are 1.5’’ wide and are reinforced with extra stitching for increased durability. An important feature of this pancake holster is also the partial sweat guard it comes with. The sweat guard prevents your gun from sweat and also your skin from abrasion. The Panther holster is available only for right-handed shooters, but you can select from both mahogany and black colors.

Note - By default, the holster is equipped with belt slots that are 1.5'' wide and compatible with 0.15'' thick gun belts.
