Carry Options for Ruger Security 9 holsters

Concealed Carry

The Ruger Security 9 was made with everyday carry in mind. That makes a Ruger Security 9 concealed carry holster a solid match for anyone who values discretion and reliability. These holsters are shaped to reduce printing and stay comfortable for hours of wear.

IWB Holsters

A IWB holster Ruger Security 9 rides inside your waistband for close, secure carry. It’s one of the most popular ways to conceal this pistol. Good IWB holsters offer adjustable ride height and cant, letting you dial in your preferred draw angle. Look for soft lining and sweat protection to stay comfortable throughout the day.

OWB Holsters

If concealment isn’t your top priority, a Ruger Security 9 holster OWB (outside the waistband) offers easier access and great comfort. Many models still tuck in close to the body, making them viable for jacketed concealment. Look for molded shapes and strong belt loops to keep the holster stable.

Shoulder Holsters

A shoulder holster for Ruger Security 9 gives you a balanced, off-the-waist option for carry. These are great for colder weather when you can cover it with a jacket or a coat or if you are sitting down for prolonged periods of time. Both horizontal as well as vertical setups are available, depending on your preference.

Holsters with Light

If you’ve added a weapon light, you’ll need a Ruger Security 9 holster with light that fits it properly. These holsters are designed to match your light model and still hold your firearm securely. It’s a must for low-light defense setups.

Holsters with laser

Running a laser? A Ruger Security 9 with laser holster makes room for the extra attachment without compromising on retention. Be sure to match your laser model when choosing, so the holster fits without rubbing or shifting.

Chest Holsters

A Ruger Security 9 chest holster shines when waistband carry just won’t cut it, like when hiking, ATV riding, or working outdoors. Chest rigs keep your firearm accessible and out of the way, even when you’re moving around.

Duty Holsters

For professionals, a Ruger Security 9 duty holster is built for safety and consistency. These holsters often come with level II or III retention, and are worn by law enforcement and security personnel who need reliable, secure carry.

When you need maximum security for professional or open carry, consider a Ruger Security 9 Level 3 holster or Ruger Security 9 Level 2 holster. Both retention systems keep the firearm firmly locked in place until deliberately released, providing extra peace of mind during movement or high-stress situations. Level 2 models combine a thumb break with tension adjustment for fast access, while Level 3 holsters add an additional locking mechanism for ultimate retention without compromising a clean draw.

Appendix Holsters

A Ruger Security 9 appendix holster positions the gun in the front of your waistband. This carry style is known for fast draw speed and deep concealment. It’s a top pick for experienced carriers who want control and easy access.

Drop Leg Holsters 

The Ruger Security 9 leg holster (thigh rig) offers stable off-belt carry with padded backing and adjustable straps for secure, comfortable wear. Designed for quick access and molded to the Security 9’s profile, it’s ideal for motorcycle, patrol, or seated carry.

Paddle Holsters

A Ruger Security 9 paddle holster clips on quickly and comes off just as easily, no belt threading needed. That makes it a go-to choice for range sessions or casual, temporary carry. Most paddle designs still lock in tight for a secure fit.

Left Handed Holsters

Our Ruger Security 9 left handed holster is a mirrored version of our right-hand models—same retention, cant, and ride height—molded for exact fit and a smooth draw. Available for IWB, OWB/paddle, and optics/light configurations.
