Holsters for Springfield Ronin
How to choose the best holster for your Springfield Ronin
Start by thinking about how you actually carry. The Springfield Ronin is a 1911, so it’s not exactly featherweight. That means your holster needs to do more than hold the gun. It should spread out the weight a bit, stay in place when you move, and not dig in when you sit. Materials matter. Leather molds over time and gets more comfortable, but it needs a break-in. Kydex is ready to go out of the box and keeps its shape. Either can work, just depends on what feels better against your body day after day. And then there's retention. With a single-action like the Ronin, you want secure but smooth draw. A Springfield 1911 Ronin holster should lock the trigger guard in without clamping it so tight you have to yank. Adjustable retention helps fine-tune it to your draw style.
Best Springfield Ronin 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 Springfield Ronin. 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 Springfield Ronin 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 Springfield Ronin remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Springfield Ronin Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Springfield Ronin. 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 Springfield Ronin holsters
Concealed Carry
IWB Holsters
Inside-the-waistband carry can absolutely work with the Ronin, you just have to get the right setup. A Springfield 1911 Ronin IWB holster with a solid sweat guard and adjustable cant makes a big difference. Look for one that spreads the contact across your waist so it doesn’t feel like the whole gun’s pushing into one spot.
OWB Holsters
Outside-the-waistband is where the Ronin really shines. A Springfield 1911 Ronin OWB holster gives you quick access and more breathing room. With a good forward tilt and a cover garment, it can still conceal just fine. This one’s especially good for range days or long drives when comfort wins out.
Shoulder Holsters
The classic 1911 setup. A Springfield 1911 Ronin shoulder holster feels natural if you’re used to jackets or need something that keeps weight off your belt. Just make sure the straps adjust well and keep the muzzle pointed safely. Balanced mag pouches help it sit evenly.
Material options for Springfield Ronin Holsters

Summary
A solid Springfield 1911 Ronin holster isn’t about fancy extras, it’s about whether you forget it’s there until you need it. Whether you're running OWB on the weekend or IWB during the workweek, the right fit keeps the Ronin secure without slowing you down. Take the time to dial in your setup. Think about where you carry, how often, and what makes you forget you’re wearing it. A good holster doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to feel like it belongs.
