The 1791 Four Way Multi-Fit Holster in Size 4 Black, model 4WH-4-SBL-R, is built around a simple idea, one holster that adapts to the way you actually carry. It is designed for multiple carry configurations, covering both inside the waistband and outside the waistband use, so you can adjust to clothing, season, and situation instead of buying a different rig for every scenario you encounter.
Size 4 and What the 1791 Four Way Multi-Fit Covers
Size 4 sits toward the larger end of the multi fit range, which makes it the pick for shooters carrying full size or larger compact pistols rather than pocket sized guns. Getting the size right is the single most important decision in a multi fit system, so compare your pistol against the manufacturer’s chart before ordering.
Once you are in the right band, the multi fit approach starts paying dividends. A single shell that accommodates several similarly dimensioned pistols is genuinely useful for anyone who owns more than one gun in the same size class, and it stays useful when you trade or upgrade.
This is the holster for consolidating. If you are staring at a drawer full of single purpose rigs that each fit exactly one pistol, replacing several of them with one versatile shell is a satisfying way to simplify.
Key Features
- Four way carry design supporting both inside the waistband and outside the waistband use.
- Multi fit Size 4 shell that accommodates a range of similarly dimensioned pistols rather than a single model.
- Classic black finish, understated enough for daily wear and handsome on the belt.
- Adapts to clothing, season, and situation without a second holster purchase.
- Manufacturer model 4WH-4-SBL-R for straightforward reference and reordering.
Specifications and Practical Notes
Carry options are IWB or OWB in the four way arrangement, the size is Size 4 in the multi fit range, the color is black, and the manufacturer model is 4WH-4-SBL-R. Those specifications describe a holster designed to be adjusted rather than one designed to be replaced.
Outside the waistband carry deserves its own mention here, because it is the more comfortable option by a wide margin whenever a cover garment permits it. Nothing sits between the holster and your body, the draw is faster, and range sessions are simply more pleasant. Inside the waistband then handles the days a jacket is not an option.
1791 has built its reputation on traditional holster craftsmanship, and the 1791 Four Way Multi-Fit carries that character in a clean black finish that works with a belt and a pair of jeans just as well as it does with slacks.
Getting Set Up and Keeping It Right
Fit check the 1791 Four Way Multi-Fit before you carry it. Seat your unloaded pistol, confirm the trigger guard is fully covered, invert the holster to test retention, and repeat that check for every gun you intend to carry in it. Multi fit shells do not feel identical with every pistol in the range, so verify rather than assume.
Then commit to one configuration long enough to build muscle memory. A holster this flexible tempts you to change setups every week, and that is the enemy of a repeatable draw. Choose the configuration you will use most, log your repetitions there, and switch only when your clothing genuinely requires it.
Round out the setup with a real gun belt, since every belt mounted holster performs only as well as what supports it. Belts, bands, and other carry accessories live in our Apparel and Gear section. Maintenance is nothing more than wiping out the interior and letting the holster dry fully after heavy wear.
Whether you are consolidating a collection or buying a first holster and want flexibility while you find your preferred carry position, the Four Way is a sensible place to land. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
