Best holsters for US police
A police holster is a holder for carrying a handgun or other police gear, usually made of leather, and worn on a belt, attached under the arm, waist, or hips. It is used as a holder for small police gear like a handgun, pocketknife, taser, or pepper spray.
- Gun holsters
A gun holster serves three primary purposes: security, safety, and accessibility. It must securely hold a firearm and protect the trigger from accidental contact. Finally, it keeps a gun accessible for easy reach and withdrawal without resistance, even in challenging situations.
- Belly Bands
Belly bands help conceal firearms under the clothing. They are easily adjusted and provide quick access to the essential police gear.
- Inside/Outside Waistbands
Waistband holsters are designed to sit either under or outside the belt. They allow a cop’s handgun at waist level, allowing quick access but keeping it out of the way when sitting down.
- Ankle Holsters
Ankle holsters are designed to conceal your firearm completely. They are generally used to hide a second one and prevent a cop from being fully disarmed if the first firearm malfunctions or gets lost.
- Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters are used when a cop doesn’t want anything on or near the waistband. With the gun firmly nestled along your chest, it allows for easy access and a cross draw. Shoulder holsters are designed to be lightweight and non-restrictive, always allowing freedom of movement.
- Pocket Holsters
Pocket holsters are best for use with a vest or oversized jacket. They are easily concealable and provide immediate and quick access to a cop’s firearm when it is needed the most. Pocket holsters can be quickly removed or put in place without un-holstering the handgun, pocketknife, or any other small police gear carried by a cop.
