Welcome to www.gun-holster.com.

This website provides helpful information about gun holsters and their general uses. It’s also designed to provide helpful information to assist you in understanding and selecting a gun holster.

But when searching for a gun holster, what factors and information do you need to help make an educated purchase?

At last count, there were probably close to 200 different brands of gun holsters on the market today. On top of that, some of those brands may have anywhere from 10 to 50 various models to choose from. In addition, new holster makers and styles are constantly entering the market.

With all those selections, it’s no wonder people have trouble making a decision. That’s also one of the reasons that handgun owners typically end up with a drawer full of various gun holsters that they no longer use. Utilizing a trial-and-error approach, those folks generally test different gun holsters until they find the one or one that best suits their needs. Unfortunately, this trial-and-error approach can become expensive and frustrating.

Maybe I can help here. I’ve been working in the firearms & holster market for more than 15 years now and have watched the holster industry change drastically in that time.

This website is designed to be a guide to help you with your buying decision. Even if you are an experienced shooter, you may find some useful information here. I’ll do my best to explain all the essential features so you can choose the very best gun holster for YOU and your needs. If you don’t mind, I’ll also make some recommendations on some holster features that you may find helpful and recommend some specific brands of holsters that I really like.

A couple of the things that I hope to discuss on this site include:

  • Defining and explaining common terminology associated with gun holsters.
  • Discuss various forms of gun holster materials along with any pros and cons.
  • Reviewing gun holster styles and typical applications of those styles
  • Reviewing and evaluating various holster brands
  • Assist you in evaluating and selecting a gun holster to best suit your needs.

A quick qualifier about this site and my opinions: while some of the things that I’m going to discuss are based on recognized facts within the gun holster industry, other information will be based on my personal experiences and opinions. With that being said, please realize that your mileage may vary.

Also, note that I do not consider myself an “expert” on gun holsters because I believe there are very few true “experts” in any field. However, I would say that I’m very well-versed in the different gun holster models, holster brands, and holster styles.
