Carry Options for Devil Dog Arms Standard 5 inch holsters
Concealed Carry
The best holster for concealed carry depends on the size of the Devil Dog Arms Standard. Due to its full-size design, an IWB holster is ideal for deep concealment, while a well-fitted OWB holster with a compact profile can also be effective under a jacket. For those seeking comfort over extended periods, a shoulder holster may be the optimal choice.
IWB Holsters
IWB holsters for the Devil Dog Arms Standard are designed for discreet carry, making them a popular choice for concealed carry enthusiasts. These holsters sit inside the waistband, minimizing the firearm's visibility while ensuring secure retention. Their compact design makes them ideal for carrying the 1911-style handgun comfortably, though some may find it challenging due to the firearm's full size.
OWB Holsters
Outside-the-waistband (OWB) holsters suit open carry or range use. A Devil Dog Arms Standard OWB holster rides snugly on the beltline for stable retention and smooth access. Look for models with passive and active retention options, plus flared openings for easier holstering. This setup is perfect for training, competitive shooting, or secure open carry.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters distribute weight evenly across the upper body, making them ideal for long wear. A Devil Dog Arms Standard shoulder holster offers horizontal or vertical carry under a jacket, ideal for colder climates or sitting for extended periods. Look for adjustable harnesses and dual magazine pouches to balance the rig.
Material Options for Devil Dog Arms Standard 5 inch Holsters
Devil Dog Arms Standard Leather Holsters
