How to choose the best concealed carry holster for your setup
Start with a shell that fits your handgun and covers the trigger guard. Then compare how much space the holster takes up and where it contacts your body. A slim design such as the Low-Pro IWB Holster takes up less room at the waistband, while a wider backer spreads contact across a larger area. On adjustable designs, ride height changes how high the handgun sits and cant changes its angle. Check the fit in your usual clothing while standing and seated.
Find a holster for your handgun
Browse Glock 19 concealed carry holsters, Glock 43X holsters, and 1911 holsters. Check Glock 43X and 43X MOS fit separately. For a 1911, confirm the listed barrel length and rail configuration. If you use a light or optic, confirm that the fit listing covers your exact setup.

Do I need a holster for concealed carry?
Yes, a concealed carry holster is crucial for safe and responsible firearm handling. It ensures your firearm remains secure, reduces accidental discharges, and enables smooth draws when needed. Carrying a firearm without a holster, often referred to as "Mexican carry," increases the risk of accidental trigger engagement and is not considered safe.
What is the best position for a concealed carry holster?
The best position depends on your body type, firearm model, and daily activity. Common choices include appendix carry, IWB (inside the waistband), and OWB (outside the waistband). Appendix carry offers quick access but may not suit every body type. IWB is popular for its concealment under most clothing. Our concealed carry holsters are designed for versatility, offering multiple carry positions to match your needs.
What is the best concealed carry holster?
The best concealed carry holster should provide comfort, security, and quick access. Look for a holster that offers adjustable retention, smooth draw, and a design that suits your specific firearm model. Our Cloak and Photon product lines deliver high-performance options that outperform leather, nylon, and kydex alternatives, offering unmatched comfort and concealment.
Is leather or kydex better for a concealed carry holster?
Leather and kydex are common holster materials, but both have limitations. Leather tends to stretch over time, reducing retention, while kydex can crack under stress. Our holsters are engineered with advanced materials that provide superior durability, moisture resistance, and long-lasting retention, making them ideal for daily concealed carry.
Can you open carry in your waistband?
While some states allow open carry in a waistband without a holster, it is not safe or recommended. Carrying a firearm openly in the waistband without proper retention increases the risk of accidental discharges and firearm loss. A concealed carry holster designed for waistband use (IWB) ensures secure retention and a smooth, confident draw.
Where do most people conceal carry?
Most people carry in the appendix position (AIWB), 3 o'clock (strong side hip), or small of back. The choice depends on personal comfort, firearm size, and concealment needs. Our IWB holsters for concealed carry are built to accommodate these popular positions, ensuring a secure and reliable carry setup.
Is it illegal to carry a pistol without a holster?
While laws vary by state, carrying a pistol without a holster—especially in the waistband—can be considered unsafe and may violate brandishing or reckless handling laws in certain jurisdictions. A proper concealed carry holster ensures safe firearm retention, minimizes the risk of accidental discharge, and complies with most state laws regarding safe firearm carry.
What is 3 o'clock carry?
The 3 o'clock carry position refers to carrying your holstered firearm on the strong side hip, roughly at the 3 o'clock position of a clock face. This is a popular choice for IWB concealed carry holsters as it offers a natural draw and good concealment under untucked shirts or jackets.
What is "Mexican carry"?
"Mexican carry" is an informal term for carrying a firearm tucked into the waistband without a holster. This method offers no retention, increases the risk of accidental discharge, and is strongly discouraged. A proper concealed carry holster provides safe, secure retention, and a smooth, reliable draw.
Can I carry a gun in my waistband without a holster?
While technically possible, it is unsafe. A concealed carry holster is essential to protect the trigger, ensure firearm retention, and enable a safe, controlled draw. Our holsters are designed for waistband carry, providing comfort, concealment, and superior firearm security.
