How to choose holster can be overwhelming. Consider that some of the top manufactures: Galco holsters, Fobus holsters, Blackhawk holster, Safariland holsters and Bianchi holsters make gun holsters for Law enforcement, competitive shooters, private investigators, and gun enthusiasts.

Some of the holster options are: ankle holsters, thigh holsters, paddle holsters, hunting holsters, shoulder holsters, belt holsters, concealed carry holsters, even western holsters and handbag holsters.

Its best to start with the answer to some simple questions. What is the intended purpose of the holster? Are you carrying it as a concealed weapon? Depending on where you wear your weapon will depend on whether a belt holster or a shoulder holster is right for you.
