Premium water buffalo leather outside-the-waistband holster with optics compatibility. Features forward cant, double-ply backing, and minimal printing. Right-hand carry, fits 1911-style pistols.
The Rough Rider represents a thoughtful approach to outside-the-waistband carry—honest leather craftsmanship combined with practical design features that work for both the experienced shooter and the newcomer.
This holster is built from vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather in Versacarry's signature distressed brown and black finish. The double-ply raised backing provides structure and durability, while industrial-grade bonded nylon thread ensures the stitching will outlast the leather itself. Made in the USA.
Optics Ready: Designed to accommodate modern pistols equipped with red dot sights and other optics mounted to the slide.
Forward Draw Cant: The holster's forward angle promotes a natural draw stroke and faster presentation while maintaining security.
Minimal Printing: The snug fit against the body reduces the outline of the gun beneath a cover garment—a practical advantage for everyday carry.
Break-In Optimized: Unlike some leather holsters that require weeks of conditioning, the Rough Rider is engineered to expedite the break-in process without sacrificing retention.
This is a straightforward, dependable holster for shooters who value quality leather and American manufacturing.
