How to Choose the Best Holster for Your X Frame Revolver
Selecting the right holster for your X-frame revolver depends on your intended use, mobility needs, and carry environment. Engineered for extreme calibers and maximum power, X-frame revolvers are best paired with holsters designed for open carry, hunting, or backcountry defense—not for discreet concealed carry. A properly fitted X-frame holster provides critical support, distributes weight evenly, and ensures reliable retention. For added functionality, combining it with a heavy-duty speedloader pouch or cartridge holder helps maintain quick reload access in demanding conditions.
Best X Frame 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 X Frame Revolver. 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 X Frame 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 X Frame Revovler remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best X Frame Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the X Frame Revolver. 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 X Frame holsters
Concealed Carry
Carrying an X Frame revolver concealed is a challenge due to its size, but with the right holster design, it's possible in limited scenarios.
IWB Holsters
An IWB X Frame revolver holster is suitable for deep concealment when paired with an oversized garment. These holsters typically feature reinforced backings and high-ride clips to manage the revolver's weight. Ensure the holster distributes pressure evenly to prevent discomfort during prolonged wear.
OWB Holsters
An OWB X Frame revolver holster provides more comfort and accessibility. Positioned outside the waistband, these holsters accommodate the X Frame's bulk and are ideal for open carry or use in rural environments. A well-fitted OWB design offers excellent retention and quick draw capability without printing.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters offer an alternative carry method for large-frame revolvers. An X Frame revolver holster in shoulder style evenly distributes weight across the upper body. This configuration allows for comfortable all-day wear and is particularly useful when seated or wearing heavy outerwear.
Chest Holsters
An X Frame chest holster excels in active or outdoor scenarios like hunting or hiking. This setup secures the firearm across the torso, ensuring fast access without hindering lower body movement. A chest rig designed specifically for the X Frame revolver minimizes bounce and keeps the revolver protected and ready.
Material Options for X Frame Revolver Holsters
X Frame Revolver Leather Holsters
Leather holsters provide superior comfort and gradually mold to both your gun and body for a personalized fit. Their premium Italian or full-grain leather construction offers a timeless look and natural retention.
X Frame Revolver Nylon Holsters
Nylon holsters are lightweight, flexible, and great for casual carry or use with multiple firearms. They provide solid comfort without sacrificing accessibility.
