Gun holster, gun holster, and gun pouch — what to choose?

What is the difference between a gun holster and a gun holster?
A gun holster is usually soft (fabric/leather) and flexible; a gun holster is usually more rigid/designed (e.g. Kydex) for shape retention, retention, and consistent draw. The choice depends on concealment, comfort, and daily use.
What is a quick-draw pistol pouch and who is it suitable for?
A soft pouch/compact bag with a quick-release opening for the accessory stored according to the manufacturer's specifications. Check the opening mechanism, carrying position, level of preservation and suitability for wear. Our site sells accessories and equipment for pistols only.
Gun Bag vs. Range Bag — Which is Right for Me?
Gun bag (hard case/holster) for transport and protection; Range Bag A large bag with compartments for equipment/cartridges. Compare volume, padding, locking, and internal arrangement. The main difference is that a gun bag is suitable for everyday use.

IWB/OWB, Carry Position and Materials

IWB or OWB holster — which is better for concealed/overt carry?
IWB for concealment/disposal and a lower profile; OWB for stability and faster draw . Adjust cant/ride and choose clip/loop according to belt and attire.
Appendix Holster (AIWB) Front 3–4 o'clock — How to choose a carry position?
Appendix carry provides high concealment and quick access; 3–4 Comfortable for prolonged sitting and distributes weight. Adjust according to body type, clothing, and routine.
Are there versions for left-handed people?
Yes. Most models are available in Left-Hand (LH) or Double-Sided versions. Look for handle markings on the product page or contact us for customization .
Retention Levels — Level I/II/III: When is it needed?
Level I is suitable for civilian EDC; Level II/III is for operational/dynamic environments and maintenance hardening. Choose based on risk, training, and work environment.
Drop-Leg vs. Low-Ride — Advantages and Disadvantages
Low-Ride keeps the center of gravity low and close to the belt; Drop-Leg gives clearance for gear/armor but adds sway. Choose based on gear, movement, and routine.
Belt compatibility: 1.5" vs. 1.75", thickness and stiffness
1.5" fits most pants and clips; 1.75" is stiffer for heavier gear. Make sure the clip/loop fits the width of the belt and is stiff enough for EDC .
Kydex vs. Leather/Nylon — What to Choose?
Kydex is tough, clean, and stable to draw; leather is comfortable and flexible; nylon is lightweight and affordable. Choose according to use, climate, and preference.
Metal clip (UltiClip) or polymer?
Metal holds tight even without a belt; polymer is light and fast. Make sure it fits 1.5"/1.75".
Tips for reducing “bulging” when carrying concealed (without accessories)
Adjust carrying angle/height, choose slightly loose clothing, try changing positions (Appendix/3–4), and consider a stiffer EDC belt .
