The new \u201cProject Stealth\u201d gun holster series by 1791 Gunleather<\/a> combines American heavy native steerhide with state-of-the-art flexible carbon fiber for the first-ever holster utilizing a proprietary, patent-pending combination of the two materials. The new line of luxury, wearable personal protection holsters incorporates the same patented, American-made CX6\u00ae carbon fiber manufactured by Carbitex, that is used by well-known premium brands in the modern automotive, high-end luggage, and professional athletic apparel markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1791 Gunleather just introduced the new \u201cProject Stealth\u201d gun holster series.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProject Stealth is like no holster you\u2019ve seen before in terms of it\u2019s contemporary, elegant look and exceptional, high-tech performance,\u201d said 1791 Gunleather CEO Ramiro M. Romani. \u201cThe patent-pending Project Stealth series of holsters is where luxury, old-world craftsmanship, and the finest quality materials unite to deliver the most intriguing and fashionable EDC holsters ever seen. This outside-the-waistband series of holsters is not only lightweight and flexible, but extremely durable and aesthetically stunning,\u201d he said. \u201cProject Stealth represents the perfect marriage between classic and tactical, and will undoubtedly lead the way for many more provocative 1791 Gunleather products in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy combining premium American, heavy native steerhide with high-tech, flexible CX6 carbon fiber, every day carry just became significantly more comfortable while achieving an unprecedented level of performance,\u201d said Romani. \u201cThe Project Stealth series of holsters boast the broken-in feel of leather combined with the strength and durability of flexible carbon fiber. Your sidearm is surrounded by premium leather on the inside, and further protected by durable carbon fiber on the outside,\u201d he said.The 1791 Gunleather passive retention system is perfected by adding flexible carbon fiber to the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd, while the carbon fiber you\u2019re used to seeing in holsters is lightweight and strong, it\u2019s also very rigid, inflexible, and tends to scuff your firearm. The advantage of using the state-of-the-art CX6 carbon fiber is that its malleable,\u201d Romani said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CX6 technology harnesses carbon fiber\u2019s trademark strength and lightweight characteristics in an adaptable form, and does not stretch. According to Romani, the holster has been engineered to provide a new level of function for wearers through its enhanced strength, suppleness, and superior firearm retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Project Stealth pancake-style holsters contour to the body in the same fashion as our premium leather holsters, while presenting a reduced carry weight, and enhanced retention for the most discerning folks,\u201d said Romani. \u201cHowever, where our competition sells standard quality, leather-only holsters in excess of $120, the patent-pending Project Stealth holsters are being introduced at less than $100,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Carbon fiber is used in aircraft, automobiles, and even helmets,\u201d said Romani. \u201cAnd by incorporating the latest generation of carbon fiber innovation into our newest holster designs, we\u2019re offering you an indulgence you won\u2019t find elsewhere. The sophisticated CX6 carbon fiber in our Project Stealth series is incredibly abrasion and UV resitant, its tensile strength is unmatched, and because of reduced weight, our holsters are less bulky, and perform exceptionally well year after year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the best advantage, stated Romani, \u201cIs that our carbon fiber does not stretch, so responsive unholstering is guaranteed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
