There is nothing worse than purchasing a holster and then deciding later that it was not what you needed and that you should have chosen a different type to begin with. You do not want to go down that road of unhappiness. So why not arm yourself with a little bit of knowledge first, so you can make an informed decision that you will be pleased with and will serve your purposes the very best?

Belt Holsters

These holsters are most commonly used by military and police personnel. This hand gun holster is most reminiscent of the holster used by the cowboy in the days of the Wild West. Think John Wayne, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Clint Eastwood, Audie Murphy and Randolph Scott. The belt holster can be worn in a variety of ways. You can wear it close to the body and relatively high. You can also choose to wear it cowboy style which is draped behind the hip bone slightly. A belt holster can be concealed by a long jacket or a shirt which is untucked.

Shoulder holsters

These holsters are made with two straps which are connected together and are similar in nature to a backpack. The holster is mounted to the strap on either the left or right side. In order to use this holster, the wearer must be wearing a vest or jacket in order to conceal the holster and strap harness from other people. This holster is easier to wear as it is located near the center of the body. This is the type of holster that you see the vice cops wearing in all of the television shows.

Belly holster

The belly holster is probably the most uncomfortable holster to wear. It consists of a built in holster within a wide elastic belt. This holster must be worn extremely tight in order to remain in place. This is not the most pleasant experience and is in fact very comparable to wearing that restrictive article of clothing also known as a girdle. The holster is worn beneath a shirt which is worn untucked in order to allow ease of access. These holsters can place the gun anywhere from the front of the body to underneath the armpit.

Concealed weapon holsters

These holsters are made to conceal small hand guns from other people. These holsters are generally found in either the pocket of the wearer or at the ankle beneath the pant leg. Every good spy movie shows the use of these holsters. They are most often used by law enforcement personnel who wish to carry a smaller secondary weapon as a backup to their primary weapon.

Indeed you have many options when it comes to choosing a holster for your gun. A little knowledge will definitely go a long, long way in finding a hand gun holster that you will be happy with for years to come.
