The Most Comfortable Gun Holsters

Originally published by AmmoLand.com.

USA – As part of my job, I’m constantly checking out new gun holsters. Dozens of them are in the holster rotation at any given time – literally.

After accumulating a couple of hundred gun holsters in the unused holster box, which has grown to several boxes, I thought it would be interesting to step back and examine what firearms holsters I’m using over the long haul.

Not which ones I should be using, or which ones the internet says I should be using, but what gets strapped on voluntarily on a regular basis and that I find are the most comfortable gun holsters.

I figured I would do this somewhat objectively as there might be some surprises when I was honest with myself about which ones got the nod more days than not. The super scientific plan was to look at the ones that had migrated to the top of my most commonly used holster drawer in my desk. I figured those were the ones really getting the most frequent use.

I took a look at the next layer down to see what popped up. Two, in particular, get greater than average use.

First, when carrying a colossal gun, in this case, the FN FNX 45 Tactical with a Trijicon RMR sight, I use the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0. It’s another hybrid design that’s highly configurable, as well as comfy. It’s made well, does a great job of keeping moisture from moving in either direction and most importantly, does a fantastic job of supporting and stabilizing a HUGE handgun. Why do I carry an FNX 45 Tactical?

Got me, I just like it. Don’t judge, OK? It’s not a daily thing, but once in a while you just have to go big or go home.

This Alien Gear Cloak Tuck does a nice job of supporting a large gun like this FN FNX 45 tactical in a comfortable gun holster.

The other one that gets plenty of use is a Galco Pocket Protector Holsters. This one is simple but effective. Made of steer hide with rough side out construction, I carry a Springfield Armory XD-S with it. It’s got a smooth draw and steel reinforced mouth for easy gun insertion. A comfortable gun holsters, the hook and flat based shaped of the leather keep the gun upright and the holster in your pocket, when you draw. It’s simple, but just works. I’ve been using this one forever.

Another worth a look in the comfortable gun holsters list is the CrossBreed Supertuck Deluxe Gun Holster. A comfortable IWB holster when you’re wearing a jacket or sweater.

Going through this process was kind of enlightening. While the gun holsters that popped up on this list are all high quality, it was interesting to create a “top” list based on what I actually used most frequently as opposed to what is supposedly “the best.” You can develop all sorts of criteria as to what is the “best gun holster” or “most comfortable gun holster” based on retention features, gun fit, materials, clips, torture tests, or whatever else we can dream up.

I guess what really matters in a gun holster is what you use, provided it’s good enough to get the job done.
