So how do you narrow down your options? First, decide if the holster is for CCW, open carry, general range use, or competition. Most holster companies will focus their products on one of these carry styles. We suggest avoiding the conversion options allowing one holster shell to work across several carry platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-image-corners\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/firearmsandtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-to-Choose-the-Best-Holster.jpg\" alt=\"How to Choose the Best Holster\" class=\"wp-image-3186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firearmsandtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-to-Choose-the-Best-Holster.jpg 400w, https:\/\/firearmsandtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/How-to-Choose-the-Best-Holster-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How to Choose the Best Holster<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Think of your holster like shoes. Your dress shoes are not going to be suitable for hiking. With holsters typically costing $50-$125, having the right holster for your purpose is worth the investment, even if that means having 2, 3, or 4 holsters for the same gun. See our top holster pics for each of the categories below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The holster must fully cover the trigger guard on both sides with a solid material to be a safe holster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holsters should fit your gun securely so it does not move around in the holster. We call this retention and suggest choosing a Kydex (or similar material) designed and molded to fit your gun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hybrid leather &amp; kydex holsters are good as well. However, some hybrid holsters will add bulk, so if you plan to carry IWB, this may be a reason to avoid them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid holsters that are all leather construction, soft material, and universal holsters. The holster needs to keep its shape and have good retention for your gun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your holster must allow for a quick, efficient draw and easy reholstering. The holster design for overcoming retention and the mounting system will greatly impact how it performs these tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holsters need a solid mounting system for your belt. Our favorite CCW belt clip is the DCC Monoblock kit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Belly bands sound great but are not designed to allow an efficient draw. Check out the enigma system by PHLster holsters for quality a belly band alternative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IWB is Inside the Waistband and OWB is Outside the Waistband. When you see AIWB that means Appendix Inside the Waistband, which is our preferred way to carry concealed. Pancake-style holsters are the best option if you carry concealed OWB on your strong side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re looking for a CCW gun, we suggest choosing a pistol that most holster companies stock. You&#8217;ll see a pattern of the top CCW guns because they&#8217;re available from most holster companies for a reason.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re purchasing a CCW gun, we suggest 9mm for the caliber, which should hold at least 12 rounds. We also prefer you don&#8217;t add a light. This will help with holster selection, carry comfort, and even help you avoid legal trouble in nighttime CCW situations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>Holster Retention Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Passive (Level 1)<\/strong> \u2013 these holsters are the most common and have pressure from being molded to fit that specific gun. When looking for a concealed carry holster, this is the best option. They are also common for range and competition holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Locking Device (Level 2)<\/strong> \u2013 these holsters will have a device that needs to be disabled to allow removal. Many level 2 holsters will also have the passive level 1 retention pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hood or Strap (Level 3+)<\/strong> \u2013 these holsters will have an additional safety measure that covers the top of the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When purchasing a duty holster or open carrying should be a level 2 or 3 holster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>Holster Companies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>CCW-Focused Holster Companies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brands We Stock and Custom Order<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KSG &#8211; our preferred holster company, and the Lexington version is the best CCW choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PHLster &#8211; 2nd best for holsters but limited gun options.
