How To Choose The Best OWB Holster For Your Taurus PT 940
When you're shopping for a new OWB holster for you.Taurus PT 940, 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 Taurus PT 940 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 Taurus PT 940 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 Taurus PT 940.
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 Taurus PT 940 rides and draws—especially important if you carry daily or train regularly.Check out other holster carry styles
