Duration: 32:55

This discussion from Gun Talk Live explores the utility and drawbacks of universal holsters. While not ideal for dedicated carry of a single firearm, they offer flexibility for new gun owners or those who carry different firearms. Key considerations include secure retention, trigger coverage, and the trade-offs between custom-fit and universal designs.

Quick Summary

Universal holsters offer flexibility for new gun owners or those carrying multiple firearms, providing basic retention and trigger coverage. However, for optimal security and fit, custom-molded holsters are generally preferred. Always ensure any holster fully covers the trigger guard for safe firearm handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using a universal holster?

Universal holsters offer flexibility, especially for new gun owners or those who carry different firearms. They provide a basic level of retention and trigger coverage, making them a convenient option for quick trips or when a specific holster isn't available.

What are the drawbacks of universal holsters compared to custom holsters?

Universal holsters may not provide the same level of secure retention and precise fit as holsters molded for a specific firearm. This can lead to less stable carry and potentially less reliable firearm security.

What is the most important safety feature of a holster?

The most critical safety feature of any holster is its ability to completely cover the trigger guard. This prevents accidental trigger pulls when the firearm is holstered, whether during drawing, reholstering, or general movement.

Can universal holsters be used for concealed carry?

Yes, universal holsters can be used for concealed carry, particularly pocket holsters like the Recluse or belt-mounted options like the DeSantis Variable 87. However, it's crucial to ensure they provide adequate retention and trigger protection for safe carry.
