High Ride Holsters FAQ

What is a high ride holster?

A high ride holster is a type of gun holster that is designed to sit higher up on the belt, allowing for an easier and quicker draw. It’s an excellent choice for those who prioritize comfort and accessibility as it generally positions the gun above the hip, preventing any potential obstructions during the draw.

What is the difference between a low ride and high ride holster?

The primary difference between a low ride and high ride holster lies in their positioning on the belt. A low ride holster sits lower on the waist, providing a more concealed profile, which might be preferred for concealed carry purposes. On the other hand, a high ride holster sits higher, offering a quicker and smoother draw, which can be crucial in high-stress situations. The choice between the two would depend on your personal preference and the specific scenarios in which you plan to use the holster.

How to conceal a high ride holster?

Concealing a high ride holster effectively involves choosing the right clothing and accessories. It's generally recommended to wear loose-fitting shirts or jackets that can easily cover the holster without drawing attention. Additionally, utilizing an inside-the-waistband (IWB) holster can offer a more concealed carry option as it tucks the gun inside the pants, making it less visible to others. Remember, the key to successful concealment is to blend in naturally without causing any noticeable bulges or outlines.
