1. Determine placement of the holster;
- Belt Loop Holster can be concealed under a long shirt or jacket.
- In-the-Waistband Holster can be comfortably positioned on a belt or over your waistband.
- Pocket Holster good for smaller caliber firearms allowing a more casual look when carrying.
- Shoulder Holster great for larger caliber firearms allowing the weight of the gun to be distributed for a more comfortable carry.
- Fanny Pack great for disguising your firearm while providing additional protection against the elements.
- Ankle Holster provides concealment when it’s difficult to conceal your gun on your waist or in a pocket.
2. Choose a holster that fits you and your firearm properly;
- The gun must not fit too tight or too loose in the holster, the grip should be accessible and not too low in the holster.
- The holster must be comfortable with easy access to your firearm.
- Belt Loop and In-the-Waistband holsters must have the proper cant for easy draw of your gun.
- Pocket Holsters must allow for easy access to your gun while staying firmly in your pocket.
- Shoulder Holsters, Fanny Packs and Ankle Holster must be properly adjusted for a comfortable fit.
3. Choose the type of material right for the job;
- Leather Holsters are durable and long-lasting but can be a pricey.
- Synthetic or Kydex (plastic-type) holsters are lightweight and molded to the gun.
- Leather/Synthetic holsters utilize the best qualities of leather and synthetic holsters but can be a bit uncomfortable.
- Nylon Holsters are typically the last choice of holster unless they are a hybrid-type which combines nylon with another material such as Kydex for gun retention.
