How To Choose The Best Small Of Back Holster For Your Bersa Thunder 380 Plus

When you're shopping for a new Small Of Back holster for you.Bersa Thunder 380 Plus, knowing exactly what you want matters. If you've narrowed it down to a Small Of Back holster, you're already on the right path. Below, we’ll walk you through why this carry style might be the ideal fit, how to find the best model for your body type and setup, and what materials and add-ons to consider.

Why Choose a Small of Back Holster?

Small of back holsters, often called SOB holsters, are designed for carrying your firearm in the center of your lower back. This carry style offers deep concealment and comfort for standing or walking, making it a discreet option for everyday carry.

Excellent concealment

Positioned along your spine, SOB holsters keep your Bersa Thunder 380 Plus hidden under most shirts and jackets with minimal printing, making them ideal for users prioritising discretion.

Comfortable while standing or walking

Many carriers find SOB holsters comfortable while standing or moving, as the firearm rests naturally along the curve of the lower back without pressing into the hip or thigh.

Natural draw for some users

For those who prefer reaching behind the back, SOB holsters offer an intuitive draw angle, though it requires specific training to execute safely under stress.

Keeps firearm out of the way

This carry style keeps your Bersa Thunder 380 Plus clear of your front and side, preventing interference with daily tasks or bending motions.

Best for compact firearms

Due to their positioning and draw mechanics, SOB holsters work best with compact or subcompact firearms to reduce discomfort and printing.

Drawbacks to consider

While SOB carry offers concealment, it can be uncomfortable when sitting, driving, or leaning back against chairs. Additionally, falling backward with a firearm positioned along the spine can pose injury risks.


Whether you’re looking for a discreet carry method for standing work environments or prefer behind-the-back access, an SOB holster keeps your Bersa Thunder 380 Plus hidden and accessible.


How to Choose the Right Bersa Thunder 380 Plus Small of Back Holster for Your Body and Lifestyle

Body type and fit

Choose an SOB holster that contours comfortably to your lower back. Slim users may prefer minimalist designs to reduce printing, while broader builds can benefit from wider platforms for stability.

Gun size compatibility

SOB holsters are best suited for compact or subcompact firearms. Full-size pistols may cause discomfort when sitting and are harder to conceal in this position.

Carry position

Most SOB holsters are worn directly over the spine at the 6 o’clock position, with some models offering slight cant adjustments for easier draw angles.

Handedness

Select a holster designed for your dominant hand. Right-handed users typically reach behind their right hip or center back for a palm-out draw, while left-handed users mirror this setup.

Retention and safety

Ensure your holster has strong retention and fully covers the trigger guard for safety during carry and draw. SOB draws require practice to avoid flagging your body during presentation.

Comfort features

Look for holsters with padded backing, smooth edges, and lightweight construction to maximise comfort, especially if worn for extended periods.

This is my second Holster w 3 Carry Positions. The first one was really tight. I failed to break in the leather properly and thus never achieved the fit I sought for my weapon. I have a Bersa 380 Plus. Now, I also have the Bersa 380 CC with 6 + 1. Now, that fits perfectly. The difference between these two is the placement of the magazine disconnect button. Having said all of these is to say this. I purchased the second holster and took my time to break the holster properly. I used two ziplock bags. I set in the weapon and really had to push it into the holster without the thumb snap being engaged. I let it sit for 24 hours. Several times, I pulled the weapon out and back into the holster, still in the ziplock bags. After 48 hours, I could set the weapon into the holster to engage the thumb break. After 72 hours, I removed one of the two ziplock bags and kept working the weapon in and out of the holster several more times. Finally, after 96 hours, I was able to acquire the proper fit I had set out to achieve. The final step in this breaking procedure was using a good leather paste to soften the inside of the holster—no more issues. The Bersa 380 Plus sits in the holster and can engage the thumb snap without any issues. I use the first or original Holster with three Carry Positions for my Bersa 380 6 + 1.

Very satisfied with this holster! I chose three carry position type because I was not sure I would like the cross draw position draw. I could set it to strong side if I did not like the cross draw. I found out I absolutely like cross draw and might have bought the designed “cross draw” holster as it seems a bit more stable with the larger leather pattern for my belt loops. As for small of back position ,at 62, my shoulders won’t allow it. With that said, this is a very good holster. Will be purchasing again when I decide which style I want for my Baretta .40

Like most gun owners, we have searched for the perfect holster for our weapons. I purchased this holster for the features of the options to carry in different orientations. When this holster arrived, it was exactly what I was searching for. This holster is for my Bersa Thunder 380 Plus. After the initial break-in of the holster, I no longer use the other holsters I have purchased for the years. Another great feature is I also have the Bersa Thunder 380 CC single stack, and it fits the holster like a glove. Now I can use either weapon according to the situation and only have one holster for both. You can tell the quality of this leather holster. There are not enough stars to properly rate this great holster.
