How to choose the best holster for your HK45

Choosing the best holster for HK45 starts with how you plan to carry. The HK45 is a full-size handgun, and thus it needs a holster that offers a secure fit and balanced weight distribution so that it does not sag or print too much. Look for holsters with good retention systems that hold the pistol firmly in place during movement and ensure quick, consistent draw. Material is another important factor, kydex, leather, or nylon options provide different levels of comfort, concealment, and durability. Consider whether you want a concealed or open carry setup, and whether you’ll attach a light to your firearm. The best holster for HK45 is one that fits your lifestyle, body type, and the way you train. Compatibility with accessories, ease of access, and all-day wearability are key.

IWB Holsters

An HK45 holster IWB offers effective concealment for a full-size firearm. Designed to be worn inside the waistband, it keeps the pistol close to your body for minimal printing.

A kydex IWB holster for HK45 balances durability with slim profile, ideal for everyday concealed carry.

OWB Holsters

An OWB holster for HK45 is ideal for those prioritizing comfort and a fast draw. Outside-the-waistband carry offers better weight distribution, especially helpful for long durations. Many HK45 holster OWB options feature passive or active retention, molded shapes, and paddle or belt loop attachments for further personalisation to your needs. It’s a solid option when concealment is secondary to access.

Shoulder Holsters

An shoulder holster HK45 allows discreet carry under a jacket or coat. Balanced across both shoulders, it distributes the weight of the full-size handgun evenly, reducing strain on your beltline. Look for adjustable straps and horizontal or vertical orientation depending on draw preference. A shoulder holster for HK45 is particularly suited for colder climates or seated carry.

Each holster is molded to the combined shape of the firearm and mounted light, maintaining perfect retention, trigger protection, and smooth draw performance even in low-light conditions.

Duty Holsters

Paddle Holsters

An HK45 paddle holster provides the convenience of easy on/off wear. The paddle slips inside the waistband and anchors against the hip, making it ideal for those who don’t want to commit to a full belt rig. It’s an excellent option for casual carry, range use, or short-duration wear.

Left Handed Holsters

The holster is made of high-quality materials and the workmanship seems very good. It does not fit the gun it’s designed for and wouldn’t be possible I had to extensively, boil, block, and remodel the holster to make it correct for the pistol. I would say, this company is a good place to buy holster blanks that could later possibly be made to fit.

It is very rare for me to order something--anything--and then to have it show up and be far better than i expected. usually, i research something, get a good idea of what i'm getting and then it ends up either being about what i expected or less than expected (usually less). This holster (for my hk 45) exceeded all expectations--and they were already high because i read the reviews!! best purchase of anything i've made in several years. When it arrived and I opened the box, i flipped out at the quality and craftsmanship. the fit is perfect for me (better than the galco for my glock 21). it conceals my HK 45 well and is comfortable. it even smells nice. it is just looks awesome too, which helps. i will be buying another one for my sig. this thing is made like old fashioned stuff. i plan on passing it onto my kids. this thing is so nice, i wear it outside in my back yard over a t-shirt (i live in texas). it even smells good. when i have it on, i don't even need cologne!! seriously--go buy one.
