The Royal Guard has the rough side of the leather out for greater stability in the pants, while the smooth side of the leather lies against the handgun for a slicker draw feel. The butt-forward cant increases concealability when worn behind the strong hip, while the addition of a raised sweat guard protects both the handgun and the gun carrier. The black-colored metal-reinforced mouth allows easy one-handed return to the holster. Includes removable black belt loops fitting belts up to 1.75".
