Best Ruger Security 380 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 Security 380 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best Ruger Security 380 Shoulder Holster

Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Ruger Security 380. 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 Security 380 holsters

Concealed Carry

Everyday carry means you need something that works with your routine. A good Ruger Security 380 concealed carry holster stays tucked in place, doesn’t poke or print, and won’t make you dread putting it on in the morning. It’s about balance, enough retention to keep your gun secure, but not so tight it’s a struggle to draw. Adjustable clips, ride height, and cant all help you fine-tune the setup so it works for how you move and dress.

IWB Holsters

If you want solid concealment, an inside-the-waistband setup is a great pick. A Ruger Security 380 holster IWB sits snug inside your waistband, keeping things low-profile without sacrificing much in the terms of ease of access. Go for a holster model with extra features such as sweat guard and adjustable clip, those little details go a long way in everyday comfort and longevity. Whether you’re carrying appendix or on your strong side, IWB is all about blending in while staying ready.

OWB Holsters

Outside-the-waistband holsters give you breathing room and an easier draw. A Ruger Security 380 holster OWB rides a little higher and wider, making it perfect for open carry or when you’ve got a jacket to throw over it. Some folks use OWB for range days, others for daily wear, it’s all about what feels right. If you’re looking for something quick to grab and go, OWB makes that easy.

Shoulder Holsters

Shoulder rigs have their own kind of comfort, especially if you’re sitting for long stretches or want to keep your waistline free. A Ruger Security 380 shoulder holster spreads the weight across your upper body and keeps the gun tucked under your arm. Adjustable straps let you dial in the fit, and you can choose between vertical or horizontal draw depending on how you wear your layers.

Holster for women

If you’re looking for something made with women in mind, you’re not stuck with oversized, stiff options. A Ruger Security 380 holster for women often comes in more flexible shapes and sizes that work with a wider range of outfits. Whether it's appendix carry, a belly band, or a crossbody setup, the focus here is on comfort, concealability, and not having to change how you dress just to carry.

Pocket holster

Sometimes simple is best. A Ruger Security 380 pocket holster gives you an easy, discreet way to carry, especially when you want to travel light. These holsters keep the trigger covered and the gun upright in your pocket so you’re not fishing around when it counts. The outer surface grips your pocket, and the inner lining lets the pistol slide out cleanly.

Paddle Holsters

A paddle holster for Ruger Security 380 delivers quick on/off convenience and a secure, comfortable carry for range days or duty use. Built with a molded retention shell and an ergonomic paddle that hooks over the belt or waistband, this style keeps the compact Security .380 snug and stable without permanent hardware. 

Holster with light

Lights are great for low-light confidence, but they add bulk. A Ruger Security 380 holster with light is built to handle that extra size without losing retention. These holsters give your pistol a snug, safe fit while leaving space for the light attachment. Look for reinforced molding and an open-bottom design so everything stays secure and smooth. Before choosing your preferred carry style, always check Ruger Security 380 holster compatibility to make sure the model supports your firearm setup, including optics or tactical lights.
