A gun holster is a specialized pouch or case designed to securely hold a firearm, typically a handgun. Holsters are made from various materials, including leather, nylon, and plastic, and are designed for easy access while ensuring safety. They can be worn on the body, attached to a belt, or mounted in a vehicle. Holsters come in different styles, such as inside-the-waistband (IWB) and outside-the-waistband (OWB), catering to personal preferences and carrying methods. Proper use of a holster enhances safety by keeping the firearm secure and preventing accidental discharges while allowing for quick access when needed.
