Best Ruger LCP Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Ruger LCP.

Carry Options for Ruger LCP holsters
Concealed Carry
The Ruger LCP is built for concealed carry. It’s small enough to disappear under a shirt but powerful enough to give you peace of mind. A good Ruger LCP 380 concealed holster hugs your body and keeps your pistol secure without getting in the way. Whether you prefer IWB, pocket, or even ankle carry, the goal is always the same, keep it hidden, keep it comfortable.
IWB Holsters
Inside-the-waistband holsters are a go-to for many Ruger LCP owners. These holsters keep your pistol tucked in and out of sight. A well-made Ruger LCP 380 IWB holster should offer a snug fit, solid clip, and sweat guard to keep things comfortable even on long days.
OWB Holsters
OWB holsters sit outside your waistband and offer quicker access, especially at the range or when open carrying. A properly fitted Ruger LCP holster OWB stays close to your body, reducing printing while still giving you fast access when it counts.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters work great for folks who spend a lot of time seated or driving. A Ruger LCP shoulder holster lets you carry under a jacket, distributes weight evenly, and keeps your firearm close and accessible.
Chest Holsters
A Ruger LCP 380 chest holster offers a comfortable, accessible carry option for shooting sports, hunting, or discreet everyday wear — it keeps the pistol secure and close to the body while leaving the waistline clear. Crafted from soft, durable materials with adjustable straps and a low-profile retention pouch.
Pocket Holsters
Pocket holsters are perfect for keeping things simple and low-profile. A Ruger LCP pocket holster covers the trigger, anchors itself in your pocket, and lets you draw cleanly without the holster coming out too. Some shooters also prefer a Ruger LCP wallet holster, which mimics the shape of a wallet for even deeper concealment while still offering quick access and reliable trigger protection.
Ankle Holsters
Need a backup gun or deep concealment option? A Ruger LCP ankle holster can ride unnoticed all day long. Choose one with soft padding and a secure strap, so it stays comfortable and doesn't shift around while you move.
Laser Holsters
If your LCP has a laser, make sure your holster fits it perfectly. A Ruger LCP laser holster is molded to fit the added bulk of the laser sight without losing retention or comfort. It keeps your setup secure and your draw smooth.
Cross Draw Holsters
Cross draw setups are handy for seated carry or folks with mobility concerns. A Ruger LCP cross draw holster gives you quick access without reaching across your body awkwardly. It’s an efficient setup for many users.
Holsters for Women
Women’s carry needs often vary based on clothing and lifestyle. A Ruger LCP 380 holster for women should offer flexible carry methods, discreet design, and all-day comfort. Whether worn on the body or carried in a bag, it should always feel secure and intuitive.

Top grade leather. Gun fits snugly and securely without working in. Very nice rig.
Schultzie
This holster just showed up the other day. Don’t have much time with it but from brand new the fit is perfect, no stretching to make it fit. Feels good on the back and hides so easily compared to a hip holster . This is one of 5 I have from this company and can’t complain about any of the holsters
Bill in Webster
My third of these -- best leather work, most secure, closest ride for concealability. I've tried many brands of holster, but these Slovakian dudes beat every other one hollow. This one replaces a less secure holster for my Ruger LCP.
