Quick answer: A cross draw holster carries the gun on your support side, around 9 to 10 o’clock for a right-handed shooter, canted forward so your strong hand reaches across your body to draw. It shines seated and driving, and for carriers with shoulder or mobility limits. It needs a holster that covers the trigger […]
Quick answer: A paddle holster is an outside-the-waistband holster held on by a wide, flat paddle that slides inside your waistband behind your belt, instead of belt loops. It goes on and off without removing your belt. The trade-offs: it usually rides a little farther from the body and prints more, and a weak paddle […]
Quick answer: A fanny pack holster is a waist pack with a dedicated gun compartment and a holster inside it, worn at the waist or slung cross-body. It hides a gun when your clothes can’t, at the gym, beach or on a hike, but the draw is slower than from a belt holster, and the […]
Quick answer: A velcro holster has a hook-and-loop back, so it sticks to a loop panel inside a backpack, sling bag, fanny pack, vehicle or safe instead of clipping to a belt. Rigid Kydex versions hold their shape; soft wrap-around versions adjust to many pistols. Use one where the bag or panel stays with you. […]
Quick answer: A MOLLE holster mounts a handgun to MOLLE webbing, the grid of nylon straps on plate carriers, vests, chest rigs, battle belts and packs, instead of to a pant belt. There are two kinds: soft holsters built to weave onto the webbing, and adapters that put a rigid holster on MOLLE. Neither is […]
Quick answer: A drop leg holster (also called a thigh holster) hangs from your belt and straps to your upper thigh, so the gun rides below the belt line. It exists for duty, military, range and outdoor use, especially with body armor or a plate carrier that blocks a hip holster. It isn’t an everyday […]
Quick answer: A deep concealment holster keeps a handgun hidden under light or fitted clothing. Look for a slim inside-the-waistband holster that rides low, worn appendix or just behind the hip, with a claw or wedge that turns the grip into your body and a stiff gun belt. Gun size matters too: the smaller the […]
Quick answer: IWB vs OWB is a trade between concealment and comfort. An IWB (inside-the-waistband) holster rides inside your pants with only the grip and clip showing, so it hides under a T-shirt. An OWB (outside-the-waistband) holster rides on the belt outside your pants: nothing presses on your body and the draw is easier, but […]
