Holsters for Ruger 57

How to choose the best holster for your Ruger 57

Start by thinking about your daily routine and what carrry style would compliment that, as well as the pistol that you require to go along. Do you move around a lot or are sitting for most of the day? Do you live in an open carry state or not? All of those and many more are things that one needs to consider when choosing the right holster. A good Ruger 57 holster should hold your firearm securely, let you draw quickly, and fit the gun’s exact shape, especially if you’ve added a light or red dot sight. The material you choose matters too. Kydex gives you structure and quick reholstering, while leather softens over time and molds to your body. Hybrid holsters combine both. What you wear, how active you are, and where you plan to carry will help you find the best match.

Carry Options for Ruger 57 holsters

Concealed Carry

The Ruger-57’s long slide makes it a bit harder to conceal, but with the right holster, it’s totally doable. A well-designed Ruger 57 concealed carry holster hugs your body and minimizes printing. Inside-the-waistband carry is a popular choice for staying discreet, but appendix or shoulder carry may be more comfortable depending on your build and wardrobe.

IWB Holsters

An IWB Ruger 57 holster sits inside your waistband, keeping the gun tight to your side. It’s one of the best ways to stay low-profile while carrying. Look for adjustable retention and ride height so you can fine-tune it to your comfort.

OWB Holsters

OWB Ruger 57 holsters are great if comfort and quick access are your priorities. A well-fitted Ruger 57 holster worn outside the waistband works well for range days or open carry. Paddle and belt slide options are popular in this category.
