        <h2>Introduction to OWB Holsters: What is an OWB Holster?</h2>
        <p>OWB holsters, which stand for 'Outside the Waistband', have become a popular choice for both law enforcement and civilian carriers, especially for those who prioritize gun holster OWB usage.</p>
        <p> The definition of the best OWB holster often revolves around a balance of essential factors:</p>
        <ul>
            <li><strong> Comfort</strong> – because the gun is carried off the body, and there is no inside printing</li>
            <li><strong>Ease of access</strong> – shortest drawing time</li>
            <li> and the <strong>ability to conceal effectively</strong> - it is important to choose the right gun holster for your personal needs</li>
        </ul>
        <p>For <strong>revolver enthusiasts</strong>, OWB revolver holsters are specifically tailored to fit the unique shape and size of revolvers, ensuring a secure and custom fit. For example, on the holster shown below, you may notice that the thumb safety is released with the index finger and not with the thumb as standard.</p>

        </figure>
        <p>A significant aspect of Falco OWB gun holsters is their customizable nature, with many designs offering adjustable retention and cant angles to suit individual preferences. In addition to the above, you can also choose from <strong>Falco's following custom options</strong>: </p>
        <ul>
            <li><strong>Leather Underlay </strong>– the second layer of leather. Makes the holster gentler on your gun's surface. The holster made with the leather underlay is more firm. I do not recommend this option if the gun has high/ tritium sights or sharp edges.</li>
            <li><strong>Retention Screw </strong>– with such an option you can control the amount of force needed to draw the firearm. You can use this option even if you carry the holster as a concealed carry but also at the shooting range. To make it easier to pull out of the holster, loosen the retention screw.</li>
            <li><strong>Sweat Guard</strong> – the piece of leather that separates the body from the firearm. It makes the gun carry more comfortable and holstering quicker and easier.</li>
            <li><strong>Preferred holster feature – trigger guard preference</strong>. This custom option includes two possible ways – a fully covered trigger guard or a good grip of the firearm. Neither option is bad, you just need to know what you will use the holster for in order to choose the right one.</li>
            <li><strong>Holsters Initials Embossing</strong> – Falco will emboss you the 5 letters of your choice on the front or rare side of the holster, so you won't mistake your holster for someone else's. </li>
            <li><strong>Laser Engraving of the Simple Image</strong> - Engraving a holster with a specific logo or image can hold sentimental value, perhaps commemorating a special event, achievement, or remembering a loved one.</li>
        </ul>

        <p></p>
        <p>It's a versatile type of holster that can be made from various materials like:</p>
        <h3><strong>Leather OWB Holsters</strong></h3>
        <p> Among the various styles, <a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/leather-owb-belt-holsters">leather holster OWB designs</a> are particularly renowned for their durability and classic aesthetic, making them a favorite among traditionalists. Modern OWB leather holsters have evolved to combine the timeless appeal of leather with advanced design features, enhancing functionality without sacrificing style.</p>
        <h3><strong>OWB Holsters Made of Nylon&nbsp;</strong></h3>
        <p>Their adjustable features allow for a comfortable fit, catering to a wide range of firearm sizes. The affordability and practical design of <a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/nylon-owb-gun-holsters">nylon OWB holsters</a> make them a popular choice for both novice and experienced firearm carriers. Another reason why customers often reach for nylon holsters is the universal size that fits several models.<br></p>

        <h3><strong>Kydex Outside of the Waistband&nbsp;Holsters</strong></h3>
        <p><a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/kydex-owb-belt-holsters">Kydex OWB holsters</a> are highly valued for their robust and slim profile, providing a secure and snug fit for firearms. Made from a thermoplastic material, these holsters maintain their shape under varying temperatures, ensuring consistent firearm retention. Kydex holsters are specifically (gun specific) made according to the exact customer’s requirements. Once the holster is made it won´t fit any other gun that the one ordered for. <br></p>
        <h3><strong>Hybrid (Leather &amp; Kydex) Belt Holsters</strong></h3>
        <p> <a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/owb-holsters-hybrid">Hybrid OWB holsters</a> combine the durability of materials like Kydex with the comfort of leather, offering a best-of-both-worlds solution for firearm carriers. These holsters provide the sturdy retention of Kydex while the leather backing ensures comfort against the body. Nowadays, hybrid holsters are becoming more and more popular among shooters, as they are a great choice for an EDC gun.<br></p>
        <p>OWB holsters can come in <strong>different styles of attachment</strong>, such as those with</p>
        <ul>
            <li><strong> belt loops</strong></li>
            <li><strong>belt tunnels</strong>,</li>
            <li>or <strong>paddle attachments</strong>.</li>
        </ul>

            Lesson III.: OWB Holsters benefits

        </h2>
        <ul>
            <li><strong>Easy to Put on and Take Off</strong>:&nbsp;Unlike IWB holsters, you can attach or remove OWB holsters from your belt more easily.</li>
            <li><strong>Comfortable to Wear</strong>:&nbsp;They sit outside your pants, offering a more comfortable carry, especially if you spend long hours seated. If this is your case I&nbsp;definetely recommend a&nbsp;cross-draw holster.</li>
            <li><strong>Quick Access to Your Firearm</strong>: OWB holsters provide faster draw times, which is crucial in defensive situations.<br><br></li>
        </ul>
        <h2>

            Lesson IV.: Choose the Right OWB Holster

        </h2>
        <p>Understanding what OWB holsters mean is essential in choosing the right style for your carrying needs, blah, blah, blah...</p>
        <p>You are right! Let´s get to something practical. In the next paragraphs I&nbsp;explain&nbsp;<strong>several key factors, you have to keep in mind to ensure you´ll get comfort</strong>, accessibility, and safety in one holster. To select the best OWB holster, you must must&nbsp;<strong>consider the material</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>fit,</strong> <strong>retention capabilities, </strong>your <strong>carry style</strong> and <strong>design.</strong></p>
        <p>For example: For 9mm firearm owners, a 9mm gun holster specifically designed for your weapon is crucial for a secure fit. If you are a left-handed shooter and you carry a revolver you should look for left-handed revolver holsters that answer to the specific draw style.<br><br></p>
        <h4>

            Considering Carry Style:

        </h4>
        <p>Whether you prefer concealed or open carry, there's an OWB holster to suit your needs. For example, a leather OWB holster can offer a classic look for open-carry.<br></p>
        <p></p>
        <p><strong>Other carry styles of the holsters are:</strong></p>
        <p><strong>SOB (<a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/premium-leather-sob-holster-for-rds-c140">small of back</a>) holster</strong>:&nbsp;In this case you wear your holster at 6 o'clock. Excellent for wearing during the summer, a longer T-shirt easily covers a holster</p>
        <p><strong><a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/pancake-style-open-top-owb-leather-holster-c105-shikra">Pancake-style</a> holster</strong>: two pieces of material sewn together to craft a flat-type case</p>
        <p><strong><a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/lower_on_belt-gun-holsters">Lower on belt-style</a> holster</strong>: readily accessible and free in movement, yet challenging to conceal&nbsp;</p>
        <p><strong><a href="https://www.falcoholsters.com/cross_draw-gun-holsters">Cross-draw</a> Holster</strong>: a great option for sedentary activities such as driving&nbsp;<br><br></p>
        <ul></ul>
        <h4>Design of the OWB Holster:&nbsp;</h4>
        <p><strong>Attachment style:&nbsp;</strong>You can choose from holsters with belt loops, belt tunnel designs for extra stability, or paddle holsters for ease of removal.</p>
        <p><strong>Optics ready:</strong>&nbsp;Characterized by optics cut. If you choose an optics ready holster from us at Falco, such a holster is immediately adapted for high sights (up to .32")</p>

            Lesson V.: Carry Your Holster Comfortably and Safely

            &nbsp;</h2>
        <p>Here I´ve got a&nbsp;few tips on how to maximize comfort and ensure safety while carrying an OWB holster:</p>
        <p><strong>Choose the Right Belt</strong>: A belt that´s sturdy is a holster worthy. A sturdy belt provides a necessary support for your holster and firearm. Such a belt consists of double layers of robust leather. Its material and hues harmonize with the gun holster, forming an aesthetically pleasing and practical pairing.

        </figure>
        <p><strong> Position the Holster Correctly:</strong>&nbsp;Placement on your waist can affect comfort and accessibility. Experiment with different positions to find what works best for you. The most popular outside-of-waistband holster position nowadays is 3 o´clock, SOB.</p>
        <p><strong>Use a Cover Garment:</strong>&nbsp;Especially for concealed carry, a cover garment can help conceal your OWB concealed carry holster. Think carefully about what holster you need for your purposes. Next, think about the situations you will find yourself in during the day and adapt your choice accordingly.<br><br><br></p>
