Leather Holster vs. Leather Belt Holster: Which is Best for You?

Leather Holster vs Leather Belt Holster: Which Is Best for You?

Choosing the right leather holster comes down to comfort, access, and how you carry day to day. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide.

Leather Holster (General)

  • Comfort: Breaks in and molds to your body over time.
  • Versatility: Available in IWB, OWB, crossdraw, and Western styles.
  • Protection: Gentle on firearm finishes; solid passive retention.

Best for: All-day wear, balanced comfort + concealment, classic look.

Leather Belt Holster

  • Secure carry: Rides on a sturdy belt for stability.
  • Fast draw: Natural, repeatable presentation from the hip.
  • Less discreet: Typically bulkier than IWB options.

Best for: Open carry, range use, or when quick access matters most.

How to Choose

  • Concealment first? Start with IWB. If seated often, consider crossdraw.
  • Access first? Go OWB or a belt holster with a quality leather belt.
  • Platform match: Pick a fit made for your pistol or revolver (e.g., Glock holsters, 1911 holsters).
