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 desertcart 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, 4014 4053, 4054, 4056 a 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. Review: Entry level price for a not so entry level product. - First off let me start by saying my primary experience with holsters has been some form of Kydex prior to buying this holster. I decided on a whim to try a leather holster and 1791 had been a name that has come up regularly as a good product and company so I decided why not. I found this to be a model recommended for my current ccw a cz p-01. It arrived promptly and was well packaged. The holster itself is well made and possibly over made as the leather is so thick and tightly stitched that it is possibly more rigid than kydex holsters. Now this holster comes tight and when I say tight I mean trying to fit into your pre-covid skinny jeans tight. For those not expecting this remember it is leather not kydex it holds more by friction and less by form. Follow the instructions on how to break in the holster and you will be set. Hang on let me throw this out again for people that might not have heard. FOLLOW THE BREAK IN INSTRUCTIONS. Everything said and done I have recommended this to several friends and I have bought from the company again as I got another holster for my cz p10c without the retention strap. If you want a leather holster but want to give it a try before going with a higher dollar product you won't go wrong getting one from 1791 and might just stick with them like me. ## Features - Please make sure to follow the break-in instructions to ensure your holster will properly fit your pistol; Thank you! - VERSATILITY: The BHX Multi-Fit gun holster accomodates a wide variety of EDCs and allows for Multi-Cant positioning on the belt: FBI-Cant for the quickest reaction draw or Back-Cant for quicker pickup when sitting - SECURITY & CONVENIENCE: The Thumb Break and Multi-Cant design of this BHX holster allow for a very fast and secure draw ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07P893871 | | Best Sellers Rank | #66,616 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #515 in Gun Holsters | | Brand | 1791 GUNLEATHER | | Brand Name | 1791 GUNLEATHER | | Closure Type | Thumb Break | | Color | Stealth Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,129 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | HOLSTER | | Item Type Name | BHX-3 Dual Position OWB Thumb Break Belt Holster | | Manufacturer | 1791 GUNLEATHER | | Manufacturer Part Number | GUN-BHX-3-SBL-R-XDS | | Material | Leather | | Material Type | Leather | | Mounting Type | belt mount | | Product Style | Durable | | Style | Durable | | UPC | 816161022023 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** 1791 GUNLEATHER - **Closure Type:** Thumb Break - **Color:** Stealth Black - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Manufacturer:** 1791 GUNLEATHER - **Material:** Leather - **Style:** Durable - **UPC:** 816161022023 ## Images ![1791 Gunleather Thumb Break OWB Gun Holster Fits Glock 19, 17, 23, Sig P229 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816S2e0SqxL.jpg) ![1791 Gunleather Thumb Break OWB Gun Holster Fits Glock 19, 17, 23, Sig P229 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vSW286O8L.jpg) ![1791 Gunleather Thumb Break OWB Gun Holster Fits Glock 19, 17, 23, Sig P229 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-lU1-9jVL.jpg) ![1791 Gunleather Thumb Break OWB Gun Holster Fits Glock 19, 17, 23, Sig P229 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ewJX-Z7pL.jpg) ![1791 Gunleather Thumb Break OWB Gun Holster Fits Glock 19, 17, 23, Sig P229 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918UnzibS6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very, very good fit for S&W 3rd Gen Compact models *by P***X on December 11, 2023* I already owned a 1791 holster for my 1911-A1 45 ACP, so I had a general expectation for quality and fit.
