Holsters for Colt Grizzly
How to choose the best holster for your Colt Grizzly
Start with the carry purpose. Whether you're hunting, range shooting, or carrying for protection, the right Colt Grizzly holster balances comfort, retention, and accessibility. Choose a holster molded specifically for the large frame and barrel length of the Colt Grizzly. Materials like reinforced leather or high-strength polymers provide durable retention. Adjustable retention screws and sweat guards improve both safety and usability. Consider cant angle and ride height to match your preferred draw style and activity.
Best Colt Grizzly IWB Holster
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your Colt Grizzly. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Colt Grizzly OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Colt Grizzly remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Colt Grizzly Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Colt Grizzly. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.
Carry Options for Cot Grizzly holsters
Concealed Carry
Carrying a Colt Grizzly concealed is challenging due to its size, but possible with the right holster setup and wardrobe adjustments.
IWB Holsters
IWB holsters for the Colt Grizzly require reinforced backing and deep concealment clips to manage the revolver's weight and profile. A Colt Grizzly IWB holster works best when paired with a sturdy belt and worn at the 4 o'clock position. Look for models that distribute weight evenly across the waistband to reduce fatigue.
OWB Holsters
OWB holsters are ideal for range use or open carry. A Colt Grizzly OWB holster should feature wide belt loops or paddle platforms for stability. High-ride designs with a forward cant allow faster draw while keeping the revolver close to the body. Leather and Kydex options provide solid retention and minimal movement during activity.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters are a practical choice for the Colt Grizzly, especially in colder weather or when seated. A Colt Grizzly shoulder holster with wide harness straps offers better weight distribution. Horizontal or vertical carry options depend on draw preference. Look for models with tie-downs to reduce sway and enhance control.
Material Options for Colt Grizzly Holsters
Colt Grizzly Leather Holsters
Made from high-quality leather, these holsters deliver a glove-like fit and excellent durability. They age beautifully, becoming even more comfortable with time.
Colt Grizzly Nylon Holsters
Nylon holsters are lightweight, flexible, and great for casual carry or use with multiple firearms. They provide solid comfort without sacrificing accessibility.

Summary
Finding the right Colt Grizzly holster depends on how and where you carry. OWB and shoulder options are most practical due to the revolver’s size, while IWB models can work with proper support and clothing. Each Colt Grizzly holster should provide a secure fit, reliable retention, and comfort for extended wear. Choose based on your carry context to get the most out of your revolver.

Fits perfectly, well built from good quality leather at a very reasonable price. Shipping was amazingly fast. Every holster I have ever ordered from Craft Holsters has been top notch.

Good cross draw holster. I got one for a colt grizzly and it is more comfortable especially to sit with. Beware, there is a break in period. Had to stuff the gun in a sock and then leave it in the holster overnight just to get the leather to stretch. After that and wearing it around for two days, it fits very well. Don’t expect it to be a concealable holster, unless you maybe have a micro carry. 4 star because my button is a pain in the ass to snap on the hammer strap. Other than that definitely worth the money.
