An OWB holster, or Outside the Waistband holster, is a type of firearm holster designed to be worn on the outside of a person's waistband. This style allows for easy access to the firearm while providing a comfortable fit. OWB holsters are popular among law enforcement and civilian gun owners for their quick draw capabilities and secure retention. These holsters come in various materials, including leather and polymer, and can be attached to a belt or worn with a paddle attachment. OWB holsters are often favored for open carry situations, as they allow the firearm to be visible while still being easily accessible.
