The 1791 Gunleather Ultra Custom w/ Memory-Lok Technology in black, right hand, size 2 is what happens when a leather company decides that leather should not have to be broken in badly to fit well. Memory-Lok is 1791’s approach to molded retention, letting the leather form to the pistol and hold that shape instead of relaxing into a loose pouch. The result is an open top holster with real retention and real leather character. It is the kind of rig people carry for a decade.
What the Gunleather Ultra Custom w/ Memory-Lok Holster Is and Who It Suits
This is a premium leather outside the waistband holster in the size 2 fit envelope, cut for right hand carry and finished in classic black. Size 2 covers a broad range of common compact and mid size semi automatic pistols, which is part of what makes 1791’s sizing system so useful.
It is aimed at the shooter who wants leather for the right reasons: comfort against the body, quiet draw and reholster, and a look that works with a dress belt as easily as with jeans. Memory-Lok addresses the traditional weakness of leather by holding retention over time rather than surrendering it.
Key Features
Leather holsters live or die on the details of the molding and the stitching. Here is what the Gunleather Ultra Custom w/ Memory-Lok rig brings to the table.
- Memory-Lok technology forms the leather to the pistol and retains that molded shape.
- Premium leather construction from 1791 Gunleather, a brand built entirely around holster leather.
- Right hand specific cut for a correct draw angle and proper body side finish.
- Black finish that dresses up or down without looking out of place.
- Size 2 fit covering a wide family of compact and mid size semi automatics.
- Open top design for an unobstructed, repeatable draw.
Specifications and Sizing Explained
The Gunleather Ultra Custom w/ Memory-Lok holster is catalogued as UCH-2-NSB-R. The 2 designates the size envelope, and the R confirms right hand orientation. Left hand shooters need the corresponding left hand version, since a leather holster cannot be reversed the way an ambidextrous polymer rig sometimes can.
1791’s numbered sizing groups pistols by dimensional family rather than by a single make and model, which means one holster serves several guns in your safe. Check your specific pistol against the size 2 fit list before ordering so retention lands where it should.
Because this is leather with molded retention, expect a firm fit at first. That is correct behavior for a Memory-Lok holster and it settles into a confident, repeatable hold rather than loosening indefinitely.
Break In, Care, and Everyday Carry
Break the holster in the right way. With the pistol unloaded and verified clear, insert and withdraw it repeatedly over a few evenings. The leather will conform without being stretched out, and Memory-Lok holds that new shape.
Carry it on a proper gun belt. Leather holsters transmit weight through the belt, and a flimsy dress belt will let the whole rig sag no matter how good the holster is. A rigid belt turns a good holster into a great one.
For care, keep the leather dry, wipe off sweat and salt after hot days, and let it air dry naturally rather than near a heater. Avoid heavy conditioners, which soften the leather and work directly against the molded retention you paid for. Shooters comparing carry options will find additional holsters and belts throughout our apparel and gear collection.
Rotate your carry position rather than fighting the holster if concealment is not cooperating. Small changes in ride height and belt placement do far more for comfort than any amount of forcing the leather, and an open top design gives you room to experiment without penalty.
Comfortable, quiet, and built to hold its shape, this 1791 rig makes a strong case for leather in an era of molded polymer. Buy the right size for your pistol, carry it on a real gun belt, and it will serve you well for many years of daily wear. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
