Alternatives to Traditional Concealed Carry Holsters

By Dustin Aaron


This article will introduce you to several types of non-conventional holsters for carrying a concealed weapon that have only recently become available. The following holsters are an excellent choice if you do not want to wear an inside the waistband or outside the waistband holster.

Shoulder holsters can be very easy to disguise. These holsters are prevalent with plain clothes detectives and other experts who wear a suit on a daily basis. They can also be worn underneath a shirt but may slow down your gaining access time. Shoulder holsters are extremely comfortable and allocate the weight across your shoulders much like a backpack so that you can carry a large weapon.

You may also want to look into the fanny pack option for concealed carry weapons. You can buy a fanny pack specifically designed to carry your type of handgun. These fanny packs usually have a pull away Velcro strap that allows easy access. Many people don't like the idea of wearing a nerdy fanny pack, but they are great options for joggers or bike riders.

Concealment underclothes are a new addition to the market place. Typically they are little more than just a pair of undergarments with a hidden pocket for your handgun. Obviously, these make great options for anyone who likes to jog or wear a concealed pistol while they perform their exercise routine. These allow incredibly fast access if you are not sitting down.

Belly band holsters can serve as an excellent alternative for concealed carry. Belly band holsters are simply a stretchy band that encircles your stomach and contains a small pocket to hold your firearm. You must wear a loosely fitting shirt when you use a belly band holster, but they do allow you to tuck your shirt in. These kinds of holsters are typically best suited for carrying bigger pistols.

Ankle holsters are a great way to conceal your firearm but they are not readily accessible and are normally reserved for a backup gun. Many cops wear ankle holsters to conceal their backup gun. These holsters are great because if you hug someone they will not know you are wearing a concealed weapon.

After you choose to conceal carry a handgun, you might also consider utilizing one of the above non-conventional holsters instead of the more prevalent options. Whatever you choose, just be certain that your holster is comfortable enough to wear everyday.
