POSITIONS OF LEATHER BELT GUN HOLSTERS

Carrying a firearm in a leather OWB holster, whether it is a leather pistol holster or leather revolver holster, offers flexibility in terms of positioning, each with its own advantages and considerations. The choice of where to place your gun holster leather is influenced by factors like comfort, ease of draw, and the specific context in which you'll be carrying your firearm.

  • Hip Holster (3-4 o'clock Position): This is a classic and popular choice, especially for right-handed individuals. (An alternative for left-handers would be  9 o'clock Position ). The holster sits on the wearer's hip, making it a natural and intuitive position for quick draw. It's also comfortable for everyday wear and allows for relatively easy concealment with the right clothing and cant of the leather gun holster.

  • Cross-Draw Holster (11 o'clock Position): Ideal for those who spend a lot of time seated, such as drivers or office workers. In this position, the belt holster is placed on the weaker side of the body, allowing the dominant hand to draw across the torso. This position offers comfort while sitting and can be a tactical choice in certain scenarios. Traditionally, the left-hander would draw from the opposite side which in this case represents a 2 o'clock position.
