Carry Options for Walther PPQ holsters
Concealed Carry
Choosing a Walther PPQ concealed carry holster means prioritizing discretion without sacrificing accessibility. Look for slim profiles and sweat guards to enhance comfort during extended wear.
IWB Holsters
A Walther PPQ holster IWB fits inside the waistband for low-profile carry. It's ideal for everyday use and provides excellent concealment under light clothing. These holsters often come with adjustable clips and retention systems to keep your firearm stable and ready.
OWB Holsters
A Walther PPQ holster OWB option rides outside the waistband and is best suited for open carry or range days. These holsters offer faster draw times and are easier to access under stress. Look for designs that contour with the body and offer adjustable retention.
Shoulder Holsters
A shoulder holster Walther PPQ setup allows for comfortable horizontal or vertical carry across the chest. It's a practical choice for seated positions or colder climates where jackets help with concealment. Ensure the harness is adjustable and padded for balanced distribution.
Duty Holsters
A Walther PPQ duty holster is engineered for professional use, emphasizing rugged construction and level 2 or higher retention. It's built to withstand daily wear and provide dependable firearm security in high-risk situations.
Paddle Holsters
A Walther PPQ paddle holster offers quick attachment and removal without sacrificing stability. It's ideal for users who switch carry positions or need to gear up swiftly. Look for contoured paddles that grip the waistband securely.
Holsters with Light
A Walther PPQ holster with light accommodates tactical attachments such as weapon-mounted lights. These holsters feature widened moldings and open-end designs to support various light models while preserving retention and draw speed.
Material Options for Walther PPQ Holsters
Walther PPQ Leather Holsters
A leather holster Walther PPQ offers excellent comfort and durability, molding to your body and firearm over time for a snug, glove-like fit. Made from premium full‑grain or Italian leather, it provides natural retention and protection while softening with use—often becoming comfier than synthetic options.
Walther PPQ Kydex Holsters
Kydex holsters are ultra‑lightweight and rigid, offering precise, custom molding that securely retains your firearm—even under demanding conditions—without needing a break‑in period. Their material resists chemicals and weather, provides adjustable retention (often reaching Level II–III), and delivers a satisfying “click” on draw and reholstering.
Walther PPQ Nylon Holsters
Nylon holsters are lightweight and cost-effective, made from durable, breathable materials like ballistic or Cordura nylon, making them ideal for concealed carry without adding bulk. Semi-universal designs molded around your firearm—and often compatible with similar-size guns—offer decent retention through body and belt pressure, especially for IWB use.

Summary
The Walther PPQ is built around comfort, precision, and an excellent trigger feel, and it deserves a holster that supports those strengths. A well-fitted holster should keep the pistol stable on the belt, protect the slide and controls from everyday wear, and allow a smooth, predictable draw. Whether you carry for duty, training, or personal defense, the right holster helps the PPQ ride comfortably, stay secure, and remain ready whenever you need it.

Outstanding holster. Fit the PPQ perfectly right out of the box. Leather is premium, polished and contoured for a close fit. Finest leather holster I've seen. Very happy with the multiple conditions you can mount the holster on your belt. Will buy another for a different pistol. Shipping less than a week. Outstanding for Craft holsters. They go the extra mile.
