The Three Best Concealed Carry Holsters for Any Context

Concealed carry holsters should be functional, low-profile, and comfortable for use in a variety of clothing and settings. Many gun-owners have a box or drawer full of holsters that are not comfortable or simply not appropriate for the context in which they’ll be used. There are several options for holster types that would be appropriate for concealed carry. We’ll cover which holsters for concealed carry we think are the absolute best for each preference.

IWB Concealed Carry Holster
Galco Triton Kydex IWB Holster

In-waist-band holsters are one of the most popular options for a concealed carry holster. They are low profile and can be worn with any apparel in any type of weather, while allowing quick and easy access.

The Triton Kydex is one of the most durable and feature-rich of the IWB holsters. It also happens to be our favorite IWB. The Kydex material means it’s ultra-durable and resistant to smells and degradation, and the sweat-guard protects the gun. A firm but smooth form keeps the user comfortable while still retaining shape after draw, allowing smooth re-holstering of your weapon.

Belt Holster for Concealed Carry

If you’re looking for an outside-the-waist-band option that’s comfortable and easy to keep concealed, this Galco holster is the right option. The unique design fits the contours of the hip for maximum comfort and a low-profile design that lies flatter on the body than most “pancake-style” holsters.

This holster works with numerous semi-automatic pistols and double-action revolvers, and will last a lifetime. The combination of comfort and durability with a low profile are what make this our number one selection for an OWB concealed carry holster option.

Shoulder Holster for Concealed Carry
Galco Miami Classic Shoulder System

If you’re looking for a shoulder holster system for concealed carry, you won’t find a better option than the Miami Classic. This true classic is the most popular shoulder holster in the world for good reason.

This holster is by far the most comfortable shoulder holster system, due to Galco’s Spider harness system, which allows all four points of the back plate pivot independently. This makes all the difference for concealed carriers, for whom most shoulder rigs would become uncomfortable in little time.

This system also includes two magazine carriers, and is fully modular, allowing you to add various accessories depending on your needs.
