Women and Holsters: Tailoring Options for Female Shooters

Holsters Designed for Women Who Carry with Confidence

More women than ever are choosing to carry — not as a trend, but as a commitment to protection and preparedness. But fit, comfort, and accessibility matter more when the gear is not built around a male default. A holster should serve your lifestyle — not force you to adjust to it.

What Women Should Prioritize When Choosing a Holster

  • Body fit and contour: Women’s body shapes vary more dramatically — the holster must adapt, not fight your movement.
  • Clothing compatibility: Slim-fit shirts and high-waist jeans demand different holster behavior than jackets or tactical wear.
  • Safe, natural draw access: A holster positioned wrong can slow your response — or compromise safety.

Popular Holster Styles for Women

1) Concealed carry handbags

Secure, dedicated firearm compartments inside structured handbags — discreet and accessible without compromising appearance.

2) Belly bands

Flexible compression-style holsters that wrap securely around the torso — comfortable, clothing-friendly, and ideal for concealed carry.

3) Thigh holsters

Favored for mobility — especially outdoors or during training. Allows full freedom of movement with quick access.

4) IWB (Inside Waistband) holsters

A top choice for everyday carry — now available with cant and ride adjustments optimized for female body angles.

5) Shoulder holsters

Best paired with jackets or layering — distributes firearm weight evenly and maintains low visibility.

Carry Gear Should Adapt to You — Not the Other Way Around

The right holster supports your body type, lifestyle, and draw mechanics — not just your firearm. That’s why we offer carry solutions built for realistic day-to-day wear, not just range conditions.

FAQ

Do women need different holsters than men?

Not different in function — but often different in fit. A female body may require different ride height, angle, or placement for safe and efficient carry.

Are belly band holsters safe?

Yes — as long as the trigger is fully protected and retention is firm. They are especially useful for versatile concealment.

Can I carry while wearing fitted clothing?

Absolutely. With low-profile IWB or belly band setups — concealment is possible even with form-fitting outfits.

Leather Belts

Leather Belts – Handmade Genuine Leather Belts for Men & Women

Explore our handcrafted leather belts built for real everyday use. Each belt is cut from strong full-grain leather and finished with solid hardware, so it can handle long days at work, weekends in denim, or a night out without feeling flimsy or cheap.

Built for Style, Work and Western Spirit

Whether you like a clean, modern strap or classic Western tooling, these belts are made to be worn hard and age well. Pair a brown leather belt with jeans, choose a sleek black leather belt for dress wear, or grab a tooled leather belt when you want that extra bit of character. Each one is designed to hold its shape, not curl, crack, or sag after a few months.

Choosing the Right Leather Belt

Think about how you actually live in your belt. For daily jeans and casual wear, go with a medium or wider strap and a sturdy buckle. For office or dress use, a slightly slimmer belt with a cleaner finish works best. If you carry heavier gear or like a Western look, a thicker, heavier strap will give you more support around the waist.

Getting Your Belt Size Right

For a reliable fit, we always recommend checking your belt size before you order. You can follow the step-by-step instructions on our Belt Size Chart page or use the size information in the belt product details. Taking a moment to measure once saves you a lot of guesswork later.

Care for Long-Lasting Leather

A good leather belt gets better with time if you treat it right. Avoid soaking it, keep it away from direct heat, and wipe off dust or sweat after heavy use. Every so often, a light leather conditioner will keep the strap from drying out and help it develop a rich patina instead of cracks.

Complete Your Leather Setup

If you want a matched rig, you can pair these belts with our Leather Holsters or build out more gear from our shop. A solid belt and a properly fitted holster work together for better comfort, support, and draw consistency.
