How to Pick the Best Handgun Holsters and Mag Pouches
When it comes to concealed carry, having the right holster and gun magazine holder can make a huge difference in your comfort and success. Here we will discuss some of the different types of American-made holsters and gun magazine holders on the market so you can pick the best gear for your needs.
Types of Holsters for Concealed Carry
When choosing a new holster for concealed carry one of the most important factors will be deciding if you want an IWB carry or OWB concealed carry holster. Each type of holster has different advantages over the other so it will be important to decide which type will be the best for you.
OWB Concealed Carry Holsters
OWB holsters are a great option for those who want to carry their firearm with them and have easy access to their handgun. These holsters fit around the outside of your waistband and are designed to make it easier to draw your firearm. They are easy to access and offer good comfort and protection for your firearm. OWB holsters are harder to conceal than IWB holsters however and may not be the best option for you if concealability is your biggest priority.
IWB Concealed Carry Holsters
If you are looking for a comfortable concealed carry holster that is easy to wear, then an IWB holster may be a good option for you. These holsters sit on the inside of your waistband and are designed to be worn close to your body and they print less than OWB holsters. They are very concealable and offer good protection for your firearm. However, they can be more difficult to draw from than OWB holsters.

Concealed Carry Mag Pouches
Gun magazine holders, more commonly known as Mag pouches are a convenient way to carry an extra magazine for your concealed carry handgun. They are available in both single and double mag pouch versions and can be worn on your belt or attached to your clothing.
Single Mag Pouches
Single mag pouches for concealed carry are becoming increasingly popular as people discover the benefits of carrying an extra magazine. Mag pouches allow you to quickly and easily access an extra magazine, which can be essential in a self-defense situation. Additionally, mag pouches help to keep your handgun and magazines organized and easy to find when you need them.
Double Mag Pouches
Double mag pouches offer the same benefits as single mag pouches, but with the added convenience of being able to carry two magazines. This allows you to have an extra magazine in case you need it, without having to carry a separate pouch for each magazine. Double mag pouches may also be more comfortable to wear than single mag pouches since these gun mag pouches disperse the added weight better than single mag pouches.
