About Concealed Carry Holsters

What we do

Concealed Carry Holsters is an independent guide to concealed carry methods and the holsters that support them. We break down every way to carry — IWB, appendix, OWB, shoulder, ankle, pocket, belly band, off-body and women's-specific options — covering the honest pros and cons, who each method suits, and the gear worth considering.

How we research and recommend

We evaluate holsters the way an experienced carrier would: concealment, all-day comfort, a safe and consistent draw, retention, build quality and value. We weigh manufacturer specs against real-world reputation and the trade-offs of each carry position, and we only point readers toward gear we'd be comfortable recommending to a friend. When we haven't tested something hands-on, we say so and frame it as a researched roundup rather than a personal review.

Our boundaries

• We cover holsters and carry techniques only — we never sell firearms, parts or ammunition.
• Our content is educational and is not legal advice. Carry laws vary widely; you're responsible for knowing and following the laws where you are.
• We prioritize safe-handling fundamentals — full trigger-guard coverage and deliberate reholstering — in everything we recommend.

How we stay free

The site is reader-supported. Some links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. That support keeps these guides free and doesn't change what we recommend. See our affiliate disclosure for the details.
