Holsters are essential accessories for carrying firearms safely and securely. There are several types of holsters, including inside-the-waistband (IWB), outside-the-waistband (OWB), and shoulder holsters. IWB holsters are worn inside the waistband, providing concealment, while OWB holsters are worn outside, offering easier access. Shoulder holsters distribute weight across the shoulders, making them comfortable for extended wear. Other holster types include ankle holsters, which are discreet and suitable for smaller firearms, and paddle holsters, which attach to the waistband for quick removal. Each type serves different needs based on comfort, accessibility, and concealment preferences.
