With premium materials and custom shaping, you can equip your VP9 with a holster built for everyday reliability.

 

 

Best HK VP9 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 HK VP9. 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 HK VP9 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 HK VP9 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best HK VP9 Shoulder Holster

Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the HK VP9. 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 HK VP9 holsters

Concealed Carry

Carrying your HK VP9 discreetly calls for a well-designed HK VP9 concealed carry holster. Look for low-profile designs that cling close to the body without printing. Appendix carry is a go-to for many because it keeps your firearm easily accessible as well as  concealing your pistol very well. An HK VP9 appendix holster sits right up front where you can reach it fast. If you prefer carrying behind the hip, options with adjustable cant and ride height let you fine-tune for comfort and draw angle.

IWB Holsters

IWB holsters ride inside your waistband and keep your HK VP9 out of sight but always close at hand. A solid HK VP9 holster IWB will feature secure clips, adjustable retention, and often a sweat guard as well to protect both you and the firearm. These are ideal for daily wear and can be paired with nearly any wardrobe. 

OWB Holsters

OWB options ride outside the waistband and offer excellent draw speed and comfort. While they're slightly bulkier, a well-designed HK VP9 holster OWB can still conceal well under a hoodie or jacket. This type of carry is perfect for range use, open carry legal states, or colder climates where layering helps cover the holster or doesn't allow for easy access to an IWB type holster.

Shoulder Holsters

Shoulder carry spreads the weight evenly and keeps your HK VP9 accessible without putting pressure on your waistband. An shoulder holster HK VP9 works especially well for long hours behind the wheel, at a desk or underneath a coat or a jacket. Models vary between vertical and horizontal orientation, with adjustable straps and modular add-ons. If you're searching for hands-free comfort, a shoulder holster for HK VP9 makes a strong case.

Chest Holsters 

An HK VP9 chest holster keeps your pistol accessible while staying clear of backpacks, jackets, and outdoor gear. It offers excellent weight distribution and stability, making it a top choice for hiking, hunting, or backcountry carry where fast access and hands-free convenience matter.

Drop Leg Holsters 

An HK VP9 drop leg holster positions your firearm lower on the thigh for better mobility and quick access. Ideal for tactical use, range training, or duty environments, it offers strong stability, adjustable straps, and a secure fit that keeps your VP9 ready even during active movement.

Duty Holsters 

An HK VP9 duty holster prioritizes retention, rugged construction, and fast, deliberate access. Designed for law enforcement and security professionals, these holsters often include active retention systems and compatibility with optics or weapon lights, ensuring dependable performance in demanding situations.

Left Handed Holsters 

An HK VP9 left handed holster is molded to provide smooth, intuitive access for left-handed shooters. With proper retention, comfortable ride height, and a secure fit to the VP9’s contours, it ensures reliable daily carry without compromising draw speed or ergonomics.

Holsters with Light

If you run a weapon light on your VP9, you'll want a holster designed to accommodate it. An HK VP9 light bearing holster fits both the firearm and the light snugly, without compromising on draw or retention. Whether it's a compact light like the TLR-7 or a full-size model like the X300, an HK VP9 holster with light ensures you're prepared for low-light environments and quick deployment. 

If you’re running a light-equipped setup, finding the right carry gear is critical. Our HK VP9 holster with Streamlight TLR-8 is precision-molded to ensure your pistol and light combo fits snugly and securely, offering both retention and comfort for everyday carry. Whether you’re on duty or off, this holster delivers reliable draw performance and light-ready compatibility when you need it most.
