What Makes an OWB Holster Different
An OWB holster sits on the outside of the beltline, making it easier to wear for extended periods than many inside the waistband (IWB) designs. This style distributes weight evenly, allows for a smoother drawstroke, and avoids pressure points that can develop during long carry sessions.
For many carriers, OWB is the preferred choice for training, range days, open carry, and concealed carry with a cover garment. A properly designed OWB can ride close to the body, staying low-profile under a jacket or overshirt while maintaining a secure fit.
OWB Carry Options for Every Situation
Alien Gear offers a range of OWB holsters to match different needs. Some carriers prefer the stability of a traditional belt-mounted OWB holster, while others choose a paddle holster for fast on-and-off convenience. Both options provide strong retention and consistent draw performance.
For those who prioritize discretion, our low profile OWB holsters are shaped to reduce printing and stay close to the body. For everyday concealed carry, many users find a slim OWB holster offers the best balance between comfort and concealment.
OWB Holsters Built for Modern Firearms
Our holsters are molded for a wide variety of popular handgun models, including Glock, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Taurus, and many others. Each OWB holster is designed for a precise fit to the specific firearm, ensuring full trigger guard coverage and safe re-holstering.
Carriers who use modern accessories will find options that accommodate red dot optics, weapon-mounted lights, threaded barrels, and suppressor-height sights. This makes Alien Gear a strong choice for both stock and upgraded setups.
Materials That Outperform
Alien Gear uses Boltaron, an advanced thermoplastic that outlasts standard Kydex and leather in heat, cold, and impact conditions. Boltaron keeps its shape under stress, maintaining consistent retention and safety over years of use.
For carriers who prefer hybrid builds, we also produce models with flexible backings that contour to the body, improving comfort without sacrificing stability. All holsters are made in the USA and assembled with corrosion-resistant hardware for long-term reliability.
Comfort and Retention You Can Trust
A dependable holster must do more than hold the firearm — it must make carrying practical all day. Our OWB holsters are contoured to avoid pressure points and remain comfortable while sitting, driving, or moving actively. Adjustable retention settings allow each carrier to tune the holster to their preference, keeping the firearm secure without slowing the draw.
Choosing the Right OWB Holster
The best OWB holster depends on how you carry and what you need from your setup. A belt OWB holster delivers maximum stability for training or duty use. A paddle OWB holster provides quick convenience when you need to gear up or remove your holster without undoing your belt. Carriers focused on discretion often choose a slim or low profile OWB holster that minimizes printing under clothing.
Alien Gear supports nearly every major handgun model, from compact concealed carry pistols to full-size duty firearms, so you can select the outside waistband holster that matches your firearm and your mission.
