Outside the Waistband Handgun Holsters

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.

First up is an S&W Mod 65 3" in a Craft paddle holster. The next four photos are of Rafter S holsters, who I believe are out of business now.Then there is a paddle holster for my .45 that I can't recall the maker. I gave that holster to a friend because the the bulk and weight of my Colt Government Model was just not comfortable carrying that way.
