Concealed Holsters for Safety

Concealed holsters are very personal pieces of equipment and its location, and ease of use can quite often be as important as the firearm that is carried in them.  Where you choose to conceal your weapon depends on the working conditions, chance of exposure and size of weapon being carried in concealment.  


Shoulder holsters are a common selection and are secured beneath the arm opposite the dominate shooting arm.  Most of the objectives for the shoulder concealed holster are due to the need to wear a jacket or loose clothing over the concealed holster which can be problematic when warm weather prevails.  A should holster requires movement across the body with the weapon which may in some instances involve bringing unintended people into range as the sweep is made.


The ankle holster is one of the best choices for a concealed holster position.  However, the drawback is that when a weapon is carried at ankle level you must reach down to access the weapon and be temporarily out of position for targeting as well as considering the time element for bending down.


The belt holster is probably the primary carry position for law enforcement.  This concealed holster affords quick access, close to body, your weapon size holster available in small and larger sizes and less movement to target.  Smaller weapons may be carried in a pocket sized concealed holster.


Comfort and accessibility are the most important factors when it comes to choosing concealed holsters.  The concealed holster should be able to carry the firearm of your choice safely, easy to draw from and finally not normally visible.
