1791 GUNLEATHER XDS Thumb Break Holster - Right Handed OWB Leather Gun Holster - Fits Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 32 Sig Sauer P225, P228, P229, SW MP Shield MP9 MP40, FNS-9, CZ P08

I saw a model fit a Glock 17. Ordered it for my Stoeger STR 9. Fit perfectly.

I already owned a 1791 holster for my 1911-A1 45 ACP, so I had a general expectation for quality and fit. Based on experience and comments, both seem to be good to very good generally with some degree of sample defects/rejects.My goal was to find a holster to fit my S&W 3rd Gen 40 cal auto. Smith made many, many different variations - in some cases they made just a few hundred of a model for sale by large distributors. Most of these were marketed in the early to mid 90s so it is very hard to find a holster listed to fit them. It is very difficult to even ask a holster manufacturer for which model might fit because so few still know how to decode the model numbers.Mine is a 4054 - 4 inch, 40 cal, DAO, single stack/compact. It has the same approx form factor as a S&W MP40 and is also close to an XDS. Since this holster was listed to specifically fit both the MP40 and XDS I took a chance and would utilize the extended Amazon XMas return window to try it out.It is not a perfect fit, but it is very close and definitely good enough and holds onto the weapon very well. At the outset it seemed too tight so I used to plastic bag 'trick' detailed in the included instructions. The extra thick bag the holster was shipped in was great for this. After a night or two it is now a nearly perfect, snug fit.Length-wise it is a perfect fit with the muzzle is all the way in without protruding out the bottom (4" barrel).The thumb-strap is semi redundant - a DAO doesn't cock. Still, I wanted the strap any way for positive retention and in case the holster was a little loose or loosens over time. There is a polished, bobbed hammer nub which shows when a round is in the chamber. The thumb strap fits fine over the back of the slide, the hammer (such as it is) and the beavertail.The holster would not work with an optic.I have been looking for a holster for this weapon for a long time. So if you have a compact S&W 3rd Gen it might fit your needs as well. S&W 3rd Gen models comparable to my 4054:4013, 40144053, 4054, 4056a 1, 3 or 5 in the 3rd position indicates a compact model. Given the fit for my compact model I very much doubt that a double stack 40 would fit (0, 2 or 4 in 3rd slot).I do wish the leather finish was polished or glossy. That is just a preference and it was clear that was not what I was getting. I was just happy to finally find a good fit.

This holster fits my frost generation SR-9 like a dream. I really like it. Thank you.

Beautiful thick leather holster that looks exactly like the picture. I took a chance on it because my firearm wasn’t listed but unfortunately the holster was too small. Went to their website to find other offerings!

Great, nice looking, well-fitting holster for the Glock 17, and it is comfortable to wear. Secure retention, yet quick to draw from, what is not to like?

Needless to say 1791 holsters are among the very best you can buy. The problem that most people have is that they have no patience. When you get the holster, it is naturally too small for the gun, or at least you think so. Use the plastic bag method to wrap your gun and put it in the holster (make sure your firearm is UNLOADED) and push down as far as you can go let it sit for a half an hour an hour or 24 hours pull the gun out, do it again sooner or later that holster is going to form around your gun, if you bought the right size in the first place.

When you buy for a Christmas present make sure you have a return window!Purchased for a Sig 228 wo/r and when I got the gift the strap snaps were placed where the strap was way to long making it impossible to unsnap the strap. Called 1791 and they said because I bought from an online store they can't do a return. Strange due to the purchase looks like It did come from 1791 through Amazon. They did offer to exchange it but never received the authorization email.The lesson learned,,, Never purchase custom products from Amazon until you can contact the company and verify the fit first! Who ever created the ad entered gun models that it would not fit. My friends Glock that was listed had the same issue with the strap.If you get a holster from 1791 you will love them! When they fit. Great finish and I think it will last 20 years!I have a few. If the gun is tight, I wet the area that's tight then insert the gun in the holster in plastic to protect it from the water and let it dry. It has worked every time for me.

Holster is well made and fits my pistol perfectly.
