Pistol Holster Options for Different Carry Setups

Posted by Ghost Inc on

A quality holster is an important part of any handgun setup, providing a secure way to carry and protect the firearm when it is not in use. Different carry positions, firearm models, and accessories can call for different holster designs. The holster collection at Ghost Inc. includes options for Glock, SIG SAUER, and other popular handgun platforms, with designs ranging from appendix inside-the-waistband holsters to outside-the-waistband and firearm-specific options.

Here are three holster options that highlight the variety available for different pistols and carry preferences.

Mission First Minimalist AIWB Holster

The Mission First Minimalist AIWB Holster is designed for appendix inside-the-waistband carry and is offered in an ambidextrous configuration. It is compatible with several compact Glock models, including the Glock 42, Glock 43, Glock 43X, and Glock 48, with versions also accommodating models with rails.

Its minimalist design makes it an option for those looking for an appendix holster with a compact profile. The ambidextrous configuration also provides flexibility for different users.

Bravo Concealment Light-Bearing IWB Holster

For a setup that includes a weapon light, the Bravo Concealment Light-Bearing IWB Concealment Holster is designed for compatible Glock models and SureFire X300-equipped configurations. The listed models include the Glock 17, 19, 19X, 23, 32, and 45, among others, with options for multiple Glock generations.

A light-bearing holster is designed around the specific combination of firearm and weapon light, making compatibility particularly important. If your pistol setup includes a mounted light, choosing a holster specifically designed for that configuration can help ensure the components work together as intended.

BlackPoint Tactical Dual Point Appendix IWB Holster

The BlackPoint Tactical Dual Point Appendix IWB Holster is designed for the SIG P365XL and uses an appendix inside-the-waistband configuration. Its firearm-specific design makes it an option for owners of the P365XL looking for an appendix carry solution.

Because holsters are designed around specific firearm dimensions, selecting one made for the exact handgun model is essential. This is especially important when a pistol has additional accessories or modifications that can affect holster compatibility.

Choosing the Right Pistol Holster

There is no single holster design that works for every handgun or every carry preference. When choosing a holster, consider the firearm model, carry position, handedness, and whether your pistol has accessories such as a weapon light.

Inside-the-waistband holsters are designed for concealed carry configurations, while outside-the-waistband options provide a different carry position. Light-bearing holsters require additional attention to compatibility because the holster must accommodate both the handgun and mounted light.

Check Compatibility Before Choosing a Holster

Holster fit is specific to the firearm and, in some cases, its accessories. Before selecting a holster, verify the listed firearm model, generation, handedness, and accessory compatibility. The Ghost Inc. collection includes holsters for numerous Glock models as well as options for SIG SAUER and other handguns.
