Question 1

What does an OWB holster mean in terms of concealment?

Accepted Answer

An OWB (Outside the Waistband) holster is worn on the outside of the belt. While OWB holsters are generally less concealable than IWB holsters, modern low-profile designs can sit close to the body and remain discreet under a jacket, hoodie, or loose-fitting shirt.

Question 2

Are OWB holsters suitable for all-day wear?

Accepted Answer

OWB holsters are often considered one of the most comfortable carry options for extended wear because the firearm stays outside the waistband. When paired with a proper belt, a well-designed OWB holster distributes weight evenly and reduces pressure points during daily use.

Question 3

Can OWB holsters be customized for specific handguns?

Accepted Answer

OWB holsters can be custom-made for specific handgun models to ensure proper fit, retention, and consistent draw, including specialized models like a Smith and Wesson L frame holster or 9mm Luger holster. Custom molding allows the holster to match the exact dimensions of the firearm rather than relying on a universal fit.

Question 4

What materials are best for OWB holsters?

Accepted Answer

FALCO® offers OWB holsters crafted from premium Italian leather for comfort and classic feel, as well as Kydex, hybrid or real carbon designs for rigid retention, durability, and consistent draw performance.

Question 5

How do I choose the best OWB holster for concealed carry?

Accepted Answer

Choosing an OWB holster for concealed carry depends on profile, ride height, cant, and belt attachment. A slim design that holds the firearm close to the body improves concealment, while proper cant and secure mounting help balance comfort and accessibility.

Question 6

Are OWB holsters available with an optics cut?

Accepted Answer

Many FALCO® OWB holsters are available in optics-ready configurations, allowing use with pistols equipped with red dot sights. An optics cut provides proper clearance while preserving retention and smooth draw consistency.

Question 7

Are OWB holsters available for left-handed shooters?

Accepted Answer

OWB holsters are commonly offered in both right-handed and left-handed configurations. Selecting the correct orientation ensures proper draw angle and ergonomic access for left-handed shooters.

Question 8

Which models are considered top-rated OWB holsters?

Accepted Answer

High-quality OWB holsters are defined by precise fit, durable materials, secure belt attachment, and long-term comfort. Consistent retention and reliable draw performance are especially important for both concealed carry and open carry use.
