What Does an OWB Holster Mean?
An OWB (Outside the Waistband) holster is worn on the outside of your waistband, making them easily accessible and allowing for quicker draws in various situations. OWB gun holsters are ideal for open carry situations, range days, and for those who prefer a relaxed fit without the concern of printing, which is how the outline of your gun shows through your clothes. They work well with a variety of firearms, including popular CCW like Glock 19 or SIG P365, and heavier firearms such as 1911 pistols.
Options vary from paddle holsters offering easy on-and-off capabilities to OWB holsters with light attachments. For those looking to conceal carry with an OWB setup, there are high-ride OWB designs for enhanced concealment. The materials for these holsters can include durable Kydex or classic leather. Kydex is a popular choice for its durability and ease of cleaning, while leather offers a classic feel and comfort against the skin.
OWB Retention Levels
Retention levels in OWB holsters are crucial for keeping your firearm safe while carrying. Higher retention means the gun is less likely to fall out during movement or if bumped and is harder to take possession of. Common ways to secure it include friction, thumb breaks, and locking systems. For example, a thumb break holster requires you to consciously release the firearm, adding extra security in active situations. It's key to balance retention with easy access.
OWB vs. IWB
When it comes to choosing between OWB and IWB (Inside the Waistband) holsters, it really depends on your lifestyle and comfort. OWB holsters typically offer easier access and are more comfortable for all-day wear, while IWB holsters can provide better concealment, especially when wearing tighter fitting clothing.

FAQs
What is an OWB holster?
An OWB (Outside the Waistband) holster is a type of holster worn on the outside of your waistband. Unlike IWB holsters that are tucked inside, OWB holsters hold the gun outside, making them more visible but easier to draw from in some situations.
Is an OWB holster considered open carry?
OWB holsters are usually used for open carry since they sit outside the clothing, making the gun more visible. However, you can hide one under certain clothes, like a longer jacket or loose shirt, to reduce visibility while enjoying the comfort and easy access of an OWB design. How well it can be concealed depends on the holster type, the gun, and the wearer's clothing style.
Is it better to carry IWB or OWB?
Choosing between IWB (Inside the Waistband) and OWB (Outside the Waistband) holsters depends on personal preference. IWB holsters are great for discreet carrying, while OWB holsters are more comfortable for long wear and allow quicker access to your gun. Many gun owners prefer having both for different situations.
