OWB Holsters

Outside Waistband Holsters Usually Require that you Wear a Belt...

Some of my favorite holsters are OWB, designed to be worn with a belt. As much as I like them, there are a lot of days that I don't wear a belt. On top of the belt requirement, if you plan to carry concealed, you'll have to keep a jacket on. Wearing a sportcoat or suit coat is an everyday thing for me.

When it comes to choosing a favorite holster, I'm really hard pressed. It depends on which gun I'm carrying and what clothing I'm wearing. That old Bucheimer holster for my Colt Cobra is a half-century old and I love it as much today as I did in the 1970s! Now, my Cobra is nickel but if it were blue, I might not like the loose fit it exhibits after so many years of use.

An easy and convenient way to carry your gun safely and keep yourself armed and ready no matter what challenges or emergencies you face, is with an outside the waistband handgun holster.

My MOS when I served in the United States Army was 76Y. For you non-military readers, the Military Occupational Specialty of 76 Yankee means that I was a Unit Armorer. While on REFORGER 85, I trained with German Paratroopers and qualified as "Expert" with the German G-3 rifle, the Israeli Uzi 9mm sub-machinegun and the 9mm handgun.
