Pocket Holsters

Pocket holsters are a simple way to secure and hold your weapon. They are stiff leather pouches that hold the gun upright in a pocket of one's pants or coat. They're often the most inexpensive type of holster to buy, so they are not just practical, but also affordable. These holsters are good for carrying a concealed weapon if your profession calls for such discreet procedure. Many pocket holsters can be seen through tight clothing, and some are built to prevent this by having larger fabric portions that touch the body, making the surface appear uniformly smooth. Many also have a nap on the fabric to provide better grip when drawing the weapon. Most pocket holsters are made from leather. If the leather is thicker, it can add to the overall bulk of the device. Nylon pocket holsters are lower-priced and often wear much faster than pricier holsters.

If you are on a budget, a pocket holster is a good option, though if you can afford a holster made of a thicker material, it might be a better long-term investment. One of the newest options in pocket holsters is a material called kydex, which is a rigid, plastic-like material that is stronger than both leather or nylon, though it is also very thin.
