Where Is the Best Place to Holster a Gun?

There are multiple ways to carry a handgun, and there are specific holster types designed for different placements. Some examples are shoulder holsters, concealed carry holsters, and drop leg holsters. There are even gun holsters for women designed to fit the female form. However, the most common choices are IWB and OWB. IWB holsters are ideal for concealed carry. OWB holsters are ideal for open carry. Check out our guide on Concealed Carry Positions to learn more about the best CCW positions for self-defense.

Belt Holsters

These are open-carry, visible, and placed on the belt. They are most commonly used by law enforcement and the military and are usually made from a synthetic material or leather.

Thigh Holsters

Also known as tactical or drop leg holsters, this style is popular with law enforcement and store the sidearm on the leg where the hand naturally hangs, providing a fast draw.

Ankle Holsters

These offer excellent concealment and are used by law enforcement officials who wish to carry a secondary weapon to back up their primary firearm. Some users do find that their pistol may "bounce" while being active.

Paddle Holsters

These are used for handguns and utilize a flat, concave-shaped piece of plastic or stiffened leather designed to be worn against the body inside of the pants. The broad surface area of the "paddle" and the material from which it is made use friction to prevent it from being pulled up and away when the handgun is drawn.

Pocket Holsters

These are carried inside your pocket, though some double as inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters, too. These use the pocket or waistband's friction and/or pressure to secure the firearm. The friction offers a smooth draw while leaving it securely in the pocket or waistband.

Shoulder Holsters

These have two straps connected like a backpack and mount to a belt on the right or the left side. They are designed to position the handgun in one of three different ways: a vertical position with the barrel generally pointed toward the ground, an upright position with the barrel generally pointed upward, or a horizontal position with the barrel pointed behind the wearer. This type is comfortable for the wearer, as it distributes the weight across the shoulders instead of directly on the belt. Usually, the leather straps cross over on the shoulders and back.

(IWB) Inside Waistband Holsters

These are tuckable and can be concealed in your pants, effectively concealing your firearm at all times.

Molle Holsters

An acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment, MOLLE holsters are used by some NATO armed forces, including the British and the United States Armies.

Belly Band Holsters

Belly bands have a wide elastic belt with a built-in holster. They are usually worn under an untucked shirt for a quick draw.

Fanny Pack/Off Body Carry/Concealed Carry Purses

These off-the-body concealed carry bags can be illegal in some areas. Look into your state and local laws to see if they are legal. Off-body carry options have a significant advantage because of the numerous designs they can be made: purses, fanny packs, backpacks, messenger bags, or sling bags that place them away from your body while still providing a safe way of retaining your firearm.
