An OWB holster keeps your firearm mounted on the outside of your waistband, giving you a faster draw, a more natural grip angle, and all-day comfort whether you’re on the range, running a competition stage, or carrying openly. Every outside the waistband holster in our lineup is precision-formed from 0.08″ Kydex thermoplastic — rigid enough to hold its shape under belt pressure, light enough that you’ll forget it’s there.
The OWB carry position delivers three key advantages over inside-the-waistband alternatives. First, the draw stroke is shorter and more consistent — the gun rides at a neutral angle with nothing to clear but your cover garment. Second, OWB carry reduces heat and pressure against your body, making it the preferred choice for extended range sessions and training days. Third, a quality Kydex OWB holster allows precise retention adjustment so you can dial in exactly how much resistance you want between your palm and the trigger guard.
Whether you’re looking for a dedicated range holster, an open carry holster, a duty holster for law enforcement applications, or a competition rig that clears a draw in under half a second, our outside the waistband holsters are engineered to perform at every level.
Every Kydex OWB holster in this category is vacuum-formed directly over a model-specific mold. That means the shell wraps precisely around the trigger guard, the slide rails, and the dust cover of your specific pistol — not a “fits most” approximation. The result is passive retention that clicks in on re-holster and releases cleanly on the draw, with zero leather stretch over time. Kydex won’t absorb sweat, won’t warp in a hot vehicle, and won’t lose its shape after a thousand draw reps.
Our OWB holsters are available for the most popular duty and range platforms on the market:
Belt attachment options include standard loop mounts for 1.5″ and 1.75″ duty belts, as well as Picatinny-compatible paddle attachments. Cant is adjustable via slotted mounting screws so you can fine-tune the angle for your draw style — whether you prefer a neutral FBI cant or a slight forward tilt for competition.
If you run a weapon-mounted light such as the Streamlight TLR-7A, SureFire X300U, or Streamlight TLR-1 HL, browse our light-bearing OWB holsters — each shell is cut specifically for the light/pistol combination so nothing rattles, nothing binds, and retention stays consistent draw after draw.
Not sure whether an OWB or IWB setup is right for your carry situation? A good rule of thumb: if you’re prioritizing speed and range performance, go OWB. If you need to stay concealed under a t-shirt, an IWB holster will ride closer to your body.
