How to choose the best holster for your Heckler & Koch VP9
Finding the right HK VP9 holster means knowing how and where you plan to carry. Everyday comfort, reliable retention, and smooth draw should guide your decision. If you're on your feet all day or frequently on the move, a holster that stays put and doesn’t dig in makes all the difference. Leather brings that classic feel and molds to your body over time, while an HK VP9 Kydex holster offers long-lasting structure and consistent draw. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s made specifically for the VP9 to ensure safety and confidence.
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 IWB HK VP9 holster 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 OWB HK VP9 holster 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 HK VP9 shoulder holster 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.
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.

Best quality holster I have ever bought.
Billy J.
Holster took a little while to receive, but the wait was worth it, great looking holster and the fit was great!
Karl
My gun fits this holster like it was made for it cause it was! Feels comfortable and carries well…..but the 3 star rating was because of the thump break strap. I have been more than week trying to stretch it far enough so it would snap. Craft holster was nice enough to send me a video on how to BUY the is break in kit to stretch it. Just make the strap a 1/4 inch longer and get rid of 90% of complaints!
