Holsters for Ruger Mark IV Standard
How to choose the best holster for your Ruger Mark IV
Discover premium Ruger Mark IV holsters designed for perfect fit and reliable carry. Explore our selection of leather, IWB, OWB, and concealed carry holsters custom-molded for your Ruger Mark IV. Start with how you use the pistol. If you're taking it to the range, open carry might be just fine. If you're hiking with it or need it close while camping, a chest rig keeps it ready without getting in the way. And if you’re carrying concealed, comfort and easy draw matter most. Fit is everything. A good Ruger Mark IV holster hugs the contours so the gun doesn’t shift or rub. Look for solid retention that still lets you draw smoothly. Holsters that aren’t made for the Mark IV can feel clunky or loose, especially with the extended barrel or a mounted red dot. Material plays a big role. Leather molds to your body over time and rides quietly. Kydex keeps its shape and snaps in crisp. Nylon’s more flexible, but might not offer the same secure feel.
Best Ruger Mark IV 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 Ruger Mark IV. 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 Ruger Mark IV 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 Ruger Mark IV remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Ruger Mark IV Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Ruger Mark IV. 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 Ruger Mark IV holsters
Concealed Carry
If you're committed to keeping your Mark IV under wraps, a Ruger Mark IV concealed carry holster makes it possible. Look for one that rides deep enough to hide the long barrel but still lets you draw without fumbling. Padding helps too, especially if you’re wearing it all day.
IWB Holsters
A Ruger Mark IV IWB holster rides inside your waistband, making it easier to cover with a shirt or jacket. Go with one that distributes weight well and doesn’t shift when you move or sit. Adjustable cant helps fine-tune the angle so it draws cleanly without jabbing your side.
OWB Holsters
An OWB setup gives you easier access and usually more comfort. A Ruger Mark IV OWB holster rides just outside the belt, great for open carry or a light cover garment. Look for a model that hugs tight to your side so it doesn’t print too much.
Shoulder Holsters
For long days or colder weather, a Ruger Mark IV shoulder holster spreads the weight out across your back and shoulders. It’s a good option if you’re wearing a jacket all day or want to keep your waistband clear.
holsters with red dot
Adding a red dot changes the game. A Ruger Mark IV holster with red dot cut fits the optic so you’re not jamming it in or catching on the draw. Make sure it’s molded with clearance around the sight and reinforced at stress points. If your red dot sits high, adjustable ride height helps keep it balanced.
chest holsters
Whether you’re hiking or riding an ATV, a Ruger Mark IV chest holster keeps the pistol centered and off your belt. You don’t get the gun flopping around or jabbing your hip with every step. Look for wide, padded straps and a secure harness that doesn’t shift under a pack.
paddle holsters
Quick to clip on and off, a Ruger Mark IV paddle holster is all about convenience. It locks onto your belt or waistband without needing loops or threading. Great for range days or when you’re swapping between setups. Just make sure the paddle holds firm and doesn’t tilt.
