Frequently Asked Questions About OWB Holsters
How To Wear an OWB Holster
OWB holsters are secured to the outside of your belt with clips or loops and can be worn in nearly any position along the waistline, though they are most commonly carried in the 3-5 o'clock positions for maximum comfort and accessibility.
Can You Conceal Carry With an Outside the Waistband Holster?
Yes! Even though OWB holsters are carried on the outside of your waistband, they are still very much concealable when worn with a cover garment like a jacket or flannel. In fact, these holsters are considered one of the most comfortable and accessible options for concealed carry.
Are OWB Holsters Adjustable?
While not all outside the waistband holsters are adjustable, many of them are. At Vedder Holsters, our holsters are more adjustable than most. Our LightDraw® comes with adjustable retention, while the ProDraw® takes it a step further with adjustable retention and up to 15° of adjustable forward and reverse cant so you can fully customize your carry system.
Are Outside the Waistband Holsters Safe?
The level of safety of any given holster will depend on its style, components, and quality. At Vedder Holsters, we design all of our OWB holsters with safety features like adjustable retention, sweat shields, a completely covered trigger guard, and a precise fit to your gun model to help ensure their safety and security.
