Finding the right holster is half the battle of concealed carry. The perfect holster depends on your gun, your body type, your wardrobe, and how you carry. Most people go through three or four holsters before finding the one that works. We’re trying to make that process cheaper by letting you compare prices across every major holster brand and retailer.

We compare holsters from 80+ retailers. Browse IWB (inside waistband), OWB (outside waistband), appendix, shoulder, ankle, pocket, and duty holsters. Filter by carry style, brand, and price.

FAQ: Holsters

What is the best IWB holster for concealed carry?

Kydex holsters from Tier 1 Concealed, Vedder, and Bravo Concealment consistently top recommendations for IWB carry. For appendix carry specifically, the T.REX Arms Sidecar and Tier 1 Axis/Agis are excellent. Leather hybrid holsters from CrossBreed and Alien Gear prioritize comfort for all-day wear.

IWB vs OWB: which should I choose?

IWB (inside the waistband) conceals better under a shirt and is the standard for everyday concealed carry. OWB (outside the waistband) is more comfortable but harder to conceal without a jacket or untucked shirt. OWB is the standard for range use, competition, and open carry.

What holster material is best?

Kydex offers the best retention, fastest draw, and easiest reholstering. Leather is more comfortable against the body and quieter. Nylon is the cheapest but offers the least retention and structure. For concealed carry, Kydex or Kydex/leather hybrid is the best choice for most people.

Do I need a holster with a claw?

A holster claw (or wing) pushes the grip of the gun into your body using the belt as leverage. It dramatically improves concealment for appendix and strong-side IWB carry. If you carry IWB, a claw is highly recommended, especially for larger guns.
