Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best holster types for small concealed carry pistols?

For small pistols, effective holster types include pocket holsters (with sticky exteriors or snag hooks), ankle holsters (like the DeSantis Apache), belly bands (like Daltech Force), and specialized IWB or pocket holsters designed to minimize printing.

How can I prevent my concealed firearm from printing?

To prevent printing, use holsters made of thicker materials like leather, especially exotic leathers, or those with flat backs for very small guns. Proper holster placement and a quality gun belt also significantly help maintain concealment.

What is the purpose of a 'sticky' exterior on a pocket holster?

A 'sticky' exterior on a pocket holster provides friction against the inside of your pocket lining. This ensures the holster stays put when you draw your firearm, preventing the holster from coming out with the gun.

Why is a good gun belt important for concealed carry?

A quality gun belt, like a rigid bull leather belt, provides the necessary support and stability for your holster and firearm. It prevents sagging and ensures consistent positioning, which is crucial for both comfort and reliable access to your weapon.
