When it comes to carrying a firearm, the balance between security and quick access is paramount.
OWB gun holsters, also called Outside the Waistband holsters, strike that balance perfectly.
Wherever you are, an OWB holster offers the ideal carry solution for responsible firearm owners.
What is an OWB Gun Holster and How Does it Work?
An OWB gun holster is made to be worn outside of the waistband of your pants. This style of holster attaches to your belt, sitting outside your clothing, which provides a comfortable carry for your pistol while allowing for ease of access and rapid deployment of your weapon while maintaining the utmost security.
These holsters are commonly used for open and concealed carry under a loose-fitting shirt or jacket. OWB Holsters are typically formed to slightly curve in toward the body, keeping the firearm securely in place while still allowing for a smooth and quick draw when needed.
Advantages of OWB Holsters
OWB holsters offer a multitude of advantages for gun owners. Firstly, they are incredibly comfortable to wear, especially for extended periods, because they don't press against the body as much as an IWB holster.
They also facilitate a natural and fast draw, positioning the firearm in an easily reachable spot just at the hip. If you wear the right clothes, these are great concealed carry holsters.

Whether you are carrying in your place of work, running daily errands with your kids, or simply exercising your right to carry, we have a holster that’s tailored to you.
Dressing for Concealment with OWB Holsters
When it comes to concealed carry with an OWB holster, your choice of clothing is essential to ensuring your firearm remains unseen. A loose-fitting shirt or jacket can effectively conceal your holster without compromising comfort or accessibility.
Hooded sweatshirts and denim jackets are excellent choices for casual settings, providing enough cover while allowing a full range of motion. For more formal occasions, a sport coat offers both style and practicality.
The key is to wear garments that allow for a quick and unobstructed draw while keeping your weapon out of sight. Remember, the right clothing complements your OWB holster to provide both concealment and confidence in carrying your firearm.
