CONCEALED GUN HOLSTERS

The best concealed carry holster is the one that works best for you, but not every holster out there is going to. There are many holsters specifically designed to be carried concealed in a specific way, such as a small-of-the-back holster or an appendix carry holster. Choose the holster that is right for you at Alien Gear Holsters.
IWB, or Inside the WaistBand, holsters offer a better level of concealment than does OWB, otherwise known as Outside the WaistBand (more on this in a minute).
The Crossbreed Belly Band ($70) adds some extra safety with a Kydex gun-specific shell that covers the trigger. They also have a sewn in magazine/phone/flashlight pouch plus the ability to add in magazine holsters.
I live in a concealed only state, and frankly I don't want to carry open. I own a compact 9mm 3.2\" barrel with a 12 round double stack. This gun is fairly small; and I have tried a plethora of IWB holsters. I am so uncomfortable with an IWB holster, I refuse to carry my gun.Not as appendix, not on my side, and I can't reach my back side due to my shoulder. I believe an OWB would be way more comfortable, but I hear so many stories about printing. It's hot in my state, I haven't worn a jacket since moving here, 6 years ago. No jacket, no sweater, not even a hoodie. So if I can't conceal my firearm with a t-shirt, and I have to be concerned about printing, then it's staying home. What is this concern for printing, is the concern for the law, or are you worried that others will know you're carrying a firearm even though it is not exposed I've seen snowflakes make a ruckus, and at the end of it, it's the law abiding citizen, minding his own business, that get's trespassed.
I recently purchased a Beretta APX A1 Carry gen II but cannot find a concealed carry holster. Some manufacturers offer holsters for the Beretta APX Carry which is similar but not the same. Any suggestions I will consider IWB, OWB, or a shoulder holster.
I started out with an Alien Gear 3.0, and it worked fine for several years with my PPK/S. About 4 to 5 years ago my aging eyes declined to where I couldn't make out the sights in Low Light Drills, so I upgraded to a P365. Getting the shell for the P365 didn't really work as all of a sudden IWB carry became really uncomfortable. Tried a Crossbreed and it's the same. The P365 was just enought bigger uncomfortable. Switched to a DeSantis Mini Slide OWB and no problems except I have to pay closer attention to what I wear.I've a drawer full of holsters that were No Go's for a number of guns in my collection. Seems like you just have to try and find what works best for you.
Is there a reason why we don't see TRex, Tier 1, LAS Concealment....etc Not seeing them in this article had me thinking that either all those holsters suck, or they are purposefully left out of the article, or the holsters featured paid to be championed or lifted above all else. Either way, 2 of those options is deceitful which causes me to question the validity/integrity of the author.
Agreed, not always the biggest fan of these articles. I've tried a few on this list alien gear is right down the road from me (really wanted to like a local brand but a definite no go.) Tier 1 concealed is hands down the best appendix carry I've ever used. I've ran it with my compact mp 2.0 and now my p365xl. I've heard good things about LAS too but never tried, they seem pretty similar to tier 1. This list has to be paid for, or these guys haven't tried the above said brands yet and just don't know their getting short sheeted. But for such a big website, really no excuse.
Im sorry to be rude but this article reeks of ignorance. Either the author has never had a proper concealed carry class, or has been taking all the wrong classes, then coming here and spreading dangerous \"facts\".Hybrids are bad. Pure nylon is terrible. Belly bands should be illegal, and shoulder holsters can also be dangerous, at least during the draw. Not to mention many of the carry techniques here are either dangerous or just lousy.Where is he getting this info
My personal choice for concealability and access to my weapon is IWB - Abdominal carry for my Sig 238 (with only iron sights). The little pistol is small, thin, and the .380 auto cartridge has a variety of loads and bullet types available to deliver enough \"punch\" to defend myself at close range. I was very hesitant and concerned about \"abdominal\" carry because of where the muzzle was pointing (smile). But the deciding factors were comfort and accessibility when sitting in a vehicle and the clothing I normally wear (T-shirt and shorts). Plus - it's concealed on me when I exit the vehicle should the need arise. Again, the decision of \"weapon\" and \"carry\" position is MY personal choice, and may not be right for you, and your needs. Just throwing out a few of my considerations.
Cross Draw, OWB, Azula Gun Holsters.Gun conceals under loose untucked shirt; gun can be held in place through the shirt; you know exactly where the gun is (in front, right under your hand); can be drawn from a seated position, or while driving; heavy leather conforms to gun and your body; very comfortable; models for very wide variety of guns; drawing is simple -- lift shirt, draw weapon; the gun is right there, always. Spent a fortune on Kydex small-of-back and other IWB hybrids. This leather cross draw is faster, more comfortable; and easier to don and remove. Thread your heavy gunbelt around you clockwise, so the tongue comes out over your left pocket, buckle on the right (may be backward from your normal belt threading) allowing the holster to slide on or off in seconds.Works well for me because I have a belly and my shirt drapes over the belly, creating a space for the holster. If you're slim; may not be as concealed. One other thing about carrying small-of-back: besides being a slower draw, if you are pushed backward and fall on your back with a holstered gun against your spine, you will likely be injured, as in broken back.
I got a light bearing Centaur from Legacy Firearms. I originally went with them last year because at the time they were the only manufacturer I could find that made holsters for my particular pistol/light combo (CZ P10s with O-Light PL mini 2). After a year of carrying with it, I have to say I am very pleased. It looks very classy with black carbon fiber kydex and gold colored hardware and logo. The claw and wedge keep it situated well for appendix carry. Clipped to my black leather gun belt from Vedder it stays firmly in place and hidden with my shirt tucked or untucked, in casual or dress clothes.
My own experience as a 5'10\" 160 lb guy is that AIWB is by far the least concealable option. Breaks my heart, too. I've tried running a G19 with a JM Custom Kydex, RCS Eidolon, G-Code Incog, and at least a couple more I'm forgetting. Awesome speed and accessibility, especially while sitting (which we do a lot of...). Doesn't print when you bend over. Also works when hiking/rucking, something that a 3 o'clock or further back rig just cannot do. That said, I was never happy with the concealment - anyone without even a scrap of SA could make that gun no problem. Claws, pads, etc...nothing gave me what I would consider an adequate degree of concealment. OWB is fine...for shorter guns/holsters and longer shirts IF the holster is well designed and the belt is up to the job. OWB just demands far more than IWB in that regard. Definitely viable though and, critically, doesn't require an adjustment to your wardrobe. Properly fitting pants are still properly fitting. Unless you're down for tailoring your entire wardrobe to your gun, that's a pretty solid point. Dressing around the gun is the other side of \"I don't carry because it's uncomfortable.\"
I haven't found many reviews that cover OWB holsters and how concealable they are. OWB is my preferred carry. It is just comfortable. I have several OWB holsters that are \"high-ride\" and conceal pretty easy under a tee shirt. It would be nice if OWB holsters were actually considered viable concealment holsters, not just range holsters.
Personally I like \"Holsters For Life, LLC\" small operation in North Carolina run by Betty Hamilton great holsters priced very reasonably. Kydex holsters and she can do custom jobs also. Holstersforlife.com
I'm new to conceal carry and have a question for those who use IWB holsters....do these generally work with your existing pants size, or do you have to wear a size or two larger pants for the holsters to be comfortable thanks
I am quite surprised Stealthgear holsters did not make the list. I have tried several you listed and here in Arizona summers, the Stealthgear Ventcore IWB holster is noticeable cooler. I have worn them 7 days a week for 6 years, boots on till boots off and love them.
Yo, Eric! You NEED to add Neptune Concealment to this list. I say that not as some fanboy, but as someone who spends countless hours searching for a holster that supported a particular configuration (P365XL + Recover rail + TLR4 IWB). What I found is unless you have a Glock, or to lesser degree, a Crimson Trace, you're SOL on light bearing holsters.. The one I went with also came with an optics cut (which will be great when I get an RMR). Color options were no additional charge iirc. Only gripe I have is the belt clip on the mag carrier stretched open over time, but that was no biggie to replace.
I would like to CC but as an xxl guy I haven't found anything that works. I also wear my pants a bit low so waist band holsters are not an option. To make things more complicated it's damn hot where I live 8 months/yr. I'm thinking the Brave Response Belly Band might be an option, but wear it higher around my rib cage with the weapon under my arm. BTW,an article on CC for fatties would be great.
You forgot pocket carry holsters. I have a CCW and it's been my preference for years. You never have to worry about someone seeing your gun and it probably elicits less suspicion from a potential adversary when you reach for it. He probably thinks you are reaching for your wallet as he demanded you do. 59ce067264
