How To Choose The Best OWB Holster For Your Steyr M9-A2 MF

When you're shopping for a new OWB holster for you.Steyr M9-A2 MF, knowing exactly what you want matters. If you've narrowed it down to a OWB holster, you're already on the right path. Below, we’ll walk you through why this carry style might be the ideal fit, how to find the best model for your body type and setup, and what materials and add-ons to consider.

Why Choose an OWB Holster?

OWB (Outside the Waistband) holsters are a top choice for open carry, range use, and everyday carry when concealment isn’t your highest priority. If you're looking for comfort, accessibility, and all-day stability, an OWB holster for your  Steyr M9-A2 MF is hard to beat.

    Maximum Comfort

    Since OWB holsters sit outside your waistband, they avoid the friction and pressure that can come with inside-the-waistband models—making them ideal for extended wear.

      Fast and Natural Draw

      OWB holsters typically allow for a quicker, more intuitive draw, especially in high-stress situations. Perfect for open carry or range practice.

        Secure Weapon Retention

        With solid belt attachment points and molded shapes, OWB holsters provide excellent stability and prevent shifting or bouncing during movement.

          Better Weight Distribution

          A properly fitted OWB holster spreads the weight of your  Steyr M9-A2 MF evenly across your belt, reducing strain on your lower back or hips.

            Open or Concealed Carry Flexibility

            While traditionally used for open carry, many OWB holsters—when paired with a jacket or longer shirt—can still offer decent concealment.

            Whether you're carrying on duty, at the range, or during outdoor activities, an OWB holster gives you control, comfort, and quick access to your  Steyr M9-A2 MF.

            How to Choose the Right OWB Holster for Your Body and Draw Style

            Finding the best OWB holster depends on how it fits your body type and preferred carry position.

              Body Type Fit

              Larger carriers may prefer lower-riding OWB holsters that keep the grip closer to the torso, while slim builds might look for higher ride designs to aid in concealment. Looking for the best OWB holster for fat guys? Go for models with strong belt loops and broad platforms for stability.

                Carry Position

                Most OWB holsters are worn at the 3–5 o’clock position on your dominant side. For tactical or duty use, some prefer a slightly forward cant or even a drop-leg style.

                  Left or Right Handed?

                  Be sure to choose an OWB holster made for your dominant hand. Many OWB models are available in left- or right-hand configurations, and some allow cant adjustments to suit your draw angle.

                  Retention & Ride Height

                  Adjustable retention screws, ride height options, and belt slot angles help you fine-tune how your  Steyr M9-A2 MF rides and draws—especially important if you carry daily or train regularly.

                  Choosing the best OWB   holster for your Steyr M9-A2 MF comes down to fit, comfort, and confidence. Whether you carry concealed every day or need something rugged for outdoor use, this carry style delivers dependable performance.

                  I ordered a holster for my steyer 9 mm. It took 2 months to come in and when it did come in the gun didn't fit. I just squeeze a holster just to get the gun in there and then the button doesn't even reach the other button. The gun doesn't fit and the slide opens up when you jam it down in there and I'm still trying to get customer service to do something

                  Downside is they do take a while before they ship. Although shipping is quick once it's sent. My gun fits onto this holster and after leaving it for a day in the holster, securing the thumb strap was tricky being that it's brand new, but after leaving it on the holster for over a day, securing the holster with the thumb strap is no longer an issue. My main reason for getting this holster was to match a holster that's close to one used by a character from a game I played and has a pistol that resembles a mixture b/t the Steyr M9A2, the S&W M&P and maybe an H&K USP. Overall, it looks great, fits rather easily after break in. It's more likely to be a range toy. For my pistols, I try to at least have one holster for each of them so that I'm able to carry them.
