Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose OWB Kydex holsters?
Kydex is a popular material in the firearm industry for good reason. It's lightweight yet incredibly tough, maintaining its shape even under pressure or heat. Unlike leather, Kydex doesn't stretch or collapse, which means your firearm stays securely in place and holstering is always smooth and consistent. It's also waterproof, easy to clean, and resistant to chemicals—making it ideal for everyday use in any environment.
How to wear an OWB holster?
Wear your OWB holster securely on a quality gun belt, positioned on your strong-side hip for natural draw access. Ensure the belt loop attachments are tight for maximum stability. Adjust the cant and ride height to your preference, and practice your draw regularly to maintain a smooth, consistent motion.
Can an OWB holster be concealed effectively?
Absolutely. With the right OWB concealed carry holster and appropriate clothing—such as a loose shirt, jacket, or vest—you can conceal your firearm effectively without sacrificing accessibility or comfort.
Is an OWB or IWB holster better?
It depends on your carry preferences. OWB holsters provide faster draw speed, improved comfort, and easier access—ideal for open carry or concealed carry with the right cover garments. IWB (Inside-the-Waistband) holsters, on the other hand, offer deeper concealment by positioning the firearm inside your waistband, making them better suited for discreet everyday carry.
