Quick Summary

When choosing a firearm holster, prioritize security and retention to prevent the gun from falling out or being easily taken. Cheap holsters often lack these features. For concealed carry, consider Kydex IWB holsters for their slim profile and adjustability, or specialized pocket holsters that secure the trigger guard and aid in drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main issues with cheap firearm holsters?

Cheap holsters, often included with firearms or costing under $20, typically lack adequate retention, leading to 'wobble' and the risk of the firearm falling out or being easily taken. They are generally unsuitable for secure carry and best reserved for range use.

What makes a good pocket carry holster?

A good pocket carry holster should prevent printing (making the gun shape visible), provide a 'push-off' point to aid in drawing, and securely cover the trigger guard to prevent accidental discharge. Kydex designs are generally preferred over cloth for these reasons.

What are the advantages of Kydex IWB holsters?

Kydex Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holsters offer a slim profile, adjustable retention and cant for a customized draw, and are often designed to accommodate optics. They provide secure carry and can be very comfortable when well-designed.

What are the key factors to consider when choosing any firearm holster?

Key factors include retention (preventing the gun from falling out or being taken), security (protecting the trigger), comfort for extended wear, concealment (if applicable), and material quality. The intended use (duty, concealed carry, competition) also dictates the best choice.
