1. Concealment Express Rounded OWB Paddle Holster
Highlight: Comfortable, secure, and built for quick draw—Concealment Express Rounded OWB Paddle Holster is perfect for everyday carry.
Constructive Review: Holster better than advertised. I have several holsters for my glock(s), this fits My everyday carry G19 perfect. I don’t have that military waistline anymore, so IWB holsters don’t work for me. Other OWB holsters don’t give me both comfort and the concealment I need for everyday carry. Other paddle Holster’s I own print my firearm too much. This one rides nice and tight to my side comfortably. Easy draw, easy re-holster, and fits securely with a low audible “click” so you know it’s secure. Also easy ob / easy off. This is NOT a tactical holster. This is an everyday, “go to the store, sit in church, go to work holster.” Great value for the money, comfort and functional dynamics. Well done! -Invicta
Trending Review: I have purchased and used many holsters over the years. This one is my favorite, with one modifiable exception. The high molded portion of the holster would dig into my side. This high piece was not flush with the gun, a gap between the holster and gun. I used my trusty cordless Dremel (generic brand) and in a few seconds removed the high piece (see pics) and smoothed the edges.
Once I did that, it become the single most comfortable holster to date that I have used. I didn’t ding the review over it as it was such a simple fix. I hope future editions omit that high piece. The side of my gun is way more comfortable on my side than that high piece was. As a side note, I have the S&W Shield EZ 380 Performance Center, fits perfectly, great audible snap when inserting the gun into the holster. Feels secure in the holster.
I noticed after a week, the magazine popped out a couple times. Upon closer inspection, there is an outdent in the holster for the magazine release. I’m guessing it is to guard it from such a behavior, but not being a large gap, if the gun in the holster gets pressed against my side (sitting or leaning in a chair) the holster outdent presses against the magazine release and out pops the magazine.Had the magazine release outdent been taller and allowed for great gap, I don’t think this would have happened. I used my trusty cordless Dremel (generic brand) and knocked out the magazine release outdent entirely, as the gap between it and my side is between 1/4-1/2″, where the gap in the holster was only a fraction of that. Still a great holster, but two modifications was required at this point. -DannZegos
Reassuring Review: Way better than I expected, the fit is great, has a very pleasant “click” when I re-holster, just falls right into place. The paddle is good, I for sure would recommend if you need a holster quick, and don’t want to wait 7-10 weeks for something custom. Holds pretty close to the body for an OWB, you can have the pistol holstered on your bedside table, and be able to put it on real fast, dont have to put on a belt. Only issue which is not a big deal, is that the finish on the holster can get scraped up, pretty easy, but who actually cares really, still gonna be black. -Terrance Ian Johnson
2. CYA Supply Co. Base IWB Concealed Carry
Highlight: Secure, comfortable, and built to last—the CYA Supply Co. Base IWB Concealed Carry holster is perfect for everyday carry.
Constructive Review: Excellent fit and funcion. I am not sure if I can say more than five stars! I had a small problem with a product that was not the company’s fault and was clearly due to normal wear and tear after a lot of wearing and use. I asked for guidance and they provided excellent customer service and a solution for me quick and efficiently. I know I chose this company to purchase from for a reason. VETERAN owned. Thank you! -Methew
Trending Review: I have been using this product daily since late spring/ early summer. I wanted to wait to write a review so that I could provide full insight.
I have had no issues with this product. The optional adjustments on it are very useful, as it allowed customization.
I have practiced drawing from the holster at a private range with this product and it worked flawlessly. On possibly 5 occasions over the last 7 months i have had hairs on my stomach pinched/ pulled by it, but that’s a minor issue. -James
Reassuring Review: I have an IWB leather holster for my Glock G43 but I am not comfortable carrying an SA pistol that has a trigger safety in a soft holster unless it is not chambered but the idea of carrying is to have the pistol ready to fire if it is ever needed. So I decided to try a Kydex holster which makes me feel much better while carrying a Glock with a round in the chamber.
If you are like me, you most likely have a bunch of holsters because most people start with inexpensive holsters and then start spending more money for more appropriate and comfortable holsters. However, I found that while this holster is not too expensive (around $40.00 at the time of this review), it is very well made and it is very comfortable. I carry my pistol at 5 o’clock (more like 4:30) because I find that this position offers the best case scenario for being able to get to the firearm quickly, have minimal printing and not having to readjust the holster getting in and out a vehicle. Having the firearm in this holster I do not feel it bothering me while I sit even in vehicles that have bucket seats.
It was delivered with a slight cant (not sure how many degrees) that allows me to grip the pistol easily and did not have to adjust it at all. The thing that I like the most is that it covers the length of the G43 slide perfectly so it does not touch your body while it makes it very easy to reholster the firearm without looking. Retention is adjustable and I loosened it just a bit when I first received it so now the firearm is still secure enough not to fall off even if I turn it upside down and shake it but also easy to pull of the holster without stretching your belt while the holster is pulling back on the pistol.
I own other IWB holsters for other pistols that I would call “perfect” but I paid at least 3 times this price and had them custom made so if you do not want to wait a couple of months or pay the price of a custom made holster, this one is highly recommended and you cannot go wrong with it. Also, you may want to consider the Hogue 18200 Hand All Beavertail Grip sleeve, Glock 42 & 43, black for this firearm, it helps a lot if you have large hands. -John V.
3. Concealment Express Rounded IWB Holster
Highlight: Slim, durable, and custom-molded — the Concealment Express Rounded IWB Holster offers all-day comfort with reliable concealment.
Constructive Review: I ordered this holster after a recent disappointing purchase I made from eBay that was supposed to fit the handgun but was cheaply made. This holster was a wonderful relief and it fits like a glove with a audible click once the gun is fully holstered with a good lock-up! Also fits well despite the RMSc RDS I have mounted onto the firearm! Definitely will consider this seller again for more fitted Kydex holsters for non-popular platforms. -B Felkel
Trending Review: Did I say “excellent retention?”). You’d be well advised to have a top notch belt that fits in pants with belt loops. I wear my belt with shorts. The Renton with this Rounded for Concealment Expess holds on to my Canik Mete MC9 like a girlfriend using you for your money. lol. Separation requires a “pull on it like you mean it” effort out of the box. That’s why I say belt loops and a serious gun belt are your best bets. You’ll find if these two aren’t part of your EDC setup, you’ll be shocked at how strong the holster’s retention is. But the holster. Hopefully you have the belt and the belt loop pants. This is a holster that could go for 80% more money. You know who I mean. This is a great buy. Jamson
Reassuring Review: I love this holster. My daily driver is a Ruger LCP Custom in .380 which I used to carry in my pocket, but my draw was painfully slow. This makes it so much easier to daily carry, and now it feels weird if I don’t have it on me, like I’m missing my keys or wallet. When I first got it, I tested it on both my front and rear waist positions, did a ton of rolling around, falling, jumping, etc., and never once did my pistol shake loose or the holster falls off my belt.
The only criticism I’d give is that the belt clamp/loop sticks out more than I’d like but isn’t hard to conceal. The plastic can dig in some when wearing in the 12 to 1 position but really only if I’m sitting down, and even then it’s quite minor. This holster is very easily concealed, even when I’m around friends and family who know I daily carry, they have a difficult time figuring out where it is if at all. I even had a cop friend fooled when he thought I was lying about having it on me.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend this enough. it makes daily carrying a breeze, it’s flexible to any position you’d like, it’s never once slipped off my belt nor my pistol fallen out and I’ve worn it daily for years. Best of all, my draw is leagues faster now and much quicker to get on target.
Just buy it, you won’t regret it. Terry
4. DeSantis Slim Tuk IWB Holster
Highlight: Slim, comfortable, and built for everyday carry, the DeSantis Slim Tuk IWB Holster offers discreet protection you can count on.
Constructive Review: I love these holsters so much that I bought three of them. One each for an XDS Mod 2 .45, G 43x, and a G 26. The fit is always perfect, and you can adjust them in many ways (height, cant, retention) to create a perfect conceal for yourself. That’s pretty impressive for such a minimalist design. I’m going to buy one for my G 19 as well. -Bub Baker
Trending Review: I was a little concerned purchasing this because there was an Amazon note that this is a high returned item. However, after receiving it, I am giving this holster 5 stars. I was looking for something with a very small size and the DeSantis fits the bill. I have been through several IWB holsters now, most of them slightly larger and even more than twice the price but the DeSantis still was my favorite.
Three things I would like to point out:
1) One thing I really like is there is a definite “click” when you put the pistol in the holster. There is a screw that allows you to configure the tension.
2) I am going to make a blanket statement that IWB holsters are just not comfortable. This holster is no different. However, with its smaller size, I found wearing this one to be more favorable over others I tried.
3) You can’t go wrong with the price on this. -ChakaTania
Reassuring Review: Speaking as someone who has a box full of expensive custom holsters, this IWB is a no brainer. I bought mine for p365x w/optic and the design of the clip location actually helps pull the grip close to body. I also was about to buy a Vedder tuck and with the ‘claw’ was almost $100 with shipping. Vedder makes good holsters, but that’s ridiculous pricing for a piece of plastic. Get the Slim-Tuk! -Mogulsv
5. Amberide G19 Holster IWB Kydex Holster
Highlight: Secure, lightweight, and custom-molded, the Amberide G19 IWB Kydex Holster offers all-day comfort and quick access for concealed carry.
Constructive Review: Bought this holster for a G19 gen.5 to carry AIWB. . I use it everyday and it has been everything I’ve needed it to be. It stays securely in place on my belt and weapon retention is very adequate. The ability to adjust the cant is an excellent feature, especially when using in this position. Thankfully, I don’t have a “truck tire”, more like a “ bicycle tire “, inside my belt but stuffing this holster with weapon in there with the rest of me has not been an issue. I can wear it all day and find it comfortable. This holster is well made, texture of material is smooth and it looks good, all for a very reasonable and affordable price! -Candice Mitchell
Trending Review: This IWB holster is PERFECT ( for me and my needs ) Yes it “prints” a bit but that’s fine. I had order 2 Werkz holsters for my Glocks ( off a recommendation ) and I paid $90 each. They came in today and I can’t stand them. So I just bought another one of these. Now the only bad thing is I can’t run my streamlight or my Olight Baldr S while using these but I can deal with that for now. -Brian
Reassuring Review: BBF Make are great IWB holsters for the price but there may be a negative for some of you. I originally bought this brand for my Taraus Millennium PT111 G2 and the holster worked so great for me that I ordered one for my Glock 19. Both have served me well and I alone have no issues when drawing my firearms. I carry at the 4 & 5 o’clock position and it is very comfortable.
There may be a potential issue with the clip for some of you. The hook on the clip isn’t very aggressive and there may be a problem with drawing your gun if you do not wear a gun belt or something just as thick. I mostly wear a gun belt and have many other thick belts so it isn’t a problem for me. For those who wear a casual thin belt, you might draw your holster with the gun, especially for all of you glock users. Theres a very small gap under the clip of the glock holster and if your belt is thin enough and positioned the right way, this will happen. Ill attach a video to demonstrate.
All in all for the price, this will be a great holster, weather just until you can afford something more high-end or for your permanent everyday carry. General rule with any firearm/gear is to practice and become efficient with it. -Merce
6. POLE.CRAFT OWB Kydex Holster
Highlight: Durable, lightweight, and custom-molded, the POLE.CRAFT OWB Kydex Holster offers secure carry and quick draw for everyday use.
Constructive Review: This holster is exactly as it looks. The belt clamping system is simple and works exactly as it should, and is adjustable between different belt widths (1-1/2inch, 2 inch, etc) The kydex material is standard quality and should be just fine. What I definitely recommend is pull out all screws (I believe there’s 4) and put RED loctite on every one. I did this, waited 24 hours for it to cure, and I feel extremely confident with this holster now.
It’s an incredibly cheap, fast, and simple thing to do to ensure your holster never falls. My Glock 17 gen 5 fit perfectly and with a nice audible snap. Understand that ANY kydex holster will eventually wear on a guns finish. That’s unavoidable. I’d buy this holster again in a heartbeat. (Feel it’s worth mentioning there’s NO thread locker of any kind on this holster from factory so definitely add at least blue, although I recommend red loctite, and DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS). -Andrew
Trending Review: Got this for my husband, he usually wears the holster that he wears inside his pants but was happy to get this one as a gift. So, I picked his brain about what he liked or didn’t like about this, especially since he usually wears the other kind. He loves that it’s compact, and very well made and you can adjust the snugness of it. The clip is very well made and secure. Personally, I prefer it over the one he wears on the inside of his pants, this one seems a lot sleeker and not as bulky. He likes that it feels as if he’s not wearing it. So he’s very happy. Yay! -Janice Tancredi
Reassuring Review: Very nice holster for the price. Purchased for my G19 and could not be happier. Material is stout and quality, belt clip (hinged) feels strong, like it cant hold up to daily use. Sweat guard is about a medium and lines up with the rear of the slide PERFECTLY. This is the holster I’ve been looking for all along. Been using “tactial” overpriced bs brands this entire time, but this is what I really wanted. The belt clip alone is a lifesaver. For the price, just buy 1 or 2, they are more than worth it! A+ job on a nice and affordable holster. -Justin M.
7. WARRIORLAND OWB Holster
Highlight: WARRIORLAND OWB Holster offers quick, comfortable access with a durable, rugged design built for everyday carry.
Constructive Review: Needed an OWB for the range. Did not want to get an expensive custom with a lead time of 4 to 6 weeks. For this one on Amazon and I am surprised by it quality and price. Fits the Hellcat Pro perfectly. The adjustable retention is great. I do have a gas pedal for a takedown pin. And some boiling water allowed me to mold around the takedown. But if you have a normal/ factory takedown. This will work flawlessly.
Plain black kydex looks plain and good, adjustable for Cantted carry, and sturdy with 1.5″ width belt. -Sean
Trending Review: I bought this because I was looking for a cheap option to carry owb while out on my property. Expected something below par for the price, but I’m pretty happy with it. Enough so that I ordered one for my newest gun, but the iwb appendix and I actually like it too
I own so many holsters. My go to carry holster is vedder for the price point. I own T1C, g code, all the big brands, etc. Warriorland is close to vedder. I’ll keep buying them. -Matt
Reassuring Review: Firstly, when I purchased this holster it was approximately $30. It is a simple piece of kydex or kydex like material that has been molded to fit your firearm. Where this holster shines, in my opinion, is the paddle that can be worn over top and inside a pair of pants OR around your belt only. The paddle offers a great deal of security for your firearm without being oversized. Other paddles are ginormous and would look extremely odd if you were to simply wear them around the top of your belt without the paddle being inside your pants. Also, this panel doesn’t press against your thigh as many other holsters do. Ill ve purchaing this brand of holsters for my other handguns. -Lucie
8. POLE.CRAFT IWB Kydex Holster
Highlight: Slim, durable, and comfortable — the POLE.CRAFT IWB Kydex Holster keeps your handgun secure and easy to access all day.
Constructive Review: I think people underestimate this company. These are great. Bought my first one for my Hellcat Pro and then had to buy more for some of my other carry guns. I would pick these guys over all the bigger kydex brands, I go to PoLe.Craft before looking anywhere else now. Just buy it lol you need it. -Shawn D.
Trending Review: Very thin and comfortable. For the price, you’re not going to find anything better. If you’re thinking about getting one of those cheap $10 – $20 soft nylon/polyester type of holsters with the metal clip (uncle mikes/amazon el-cheapo/etc) do yourself a favor and get this instead. For just a couple extra bucks and free shipping with prime, this thing is light years ahead. In my opinion this holsters is light years ahead of anything else in its price range.
A few years ago I was using a no name kydex sheath that I paid $50 for and it was just fine, but the only advantage it had over this one is that there was a little more adjustment in the carry options because there were 3 sets of holes you could move the clip to, depending on how high or low you wanted the clip to ride. For less than half the price, this holster feels identical. I never even used the extra holes on my old one, this one comes set up pretty much exactly where I had the old one set up.
The clip comes slightly loose so you can find the perfect angle or “cant” that works best for you, so once you decide on that, you should tighten the screws so that it will stay where you set it up to. Retention is excellent, and it’s adjustable. I really wish I could give 7 stars. Shipping was insanely fast (it was in my mailbox less than 24 hours after I ordered it!!!). I seriously can’t think of a single complaint. Might be nice if it had a metal clip instead of plastic, but I’m not worried about that at all because the plastic clip feels extremely tough and strong.
If you are trying to decide whether or not to buy this holster, just go ahead and get it. You are not going to find anything even remotely close, in this price range. When I can afford it I will be upgrading to a formed horse hide holster from the Glock store, but I’m in no rush now that I have this one.
Trust me right now, you want this holster. I will be buying one for all of my carry guns and I will be buying one for my wife’s carry gun as well. I can not even explain how happy I am with this purchase. They could easily charge 2 or 3 times the price and people would still buy it. -Kevin C.
Reassuring Review: The amount of force it takes to draw is at a perfect middle ground — good tolerances are a requirement for a holster lacking retention & this meets it. Handgun will/can only be withdrawn from the holster if a person (preferably the one carrying it) is deliberately trying to withdraw it, and it can be drawn in a single swift movement. But also, it’s tight enough that there’s 0 risk of the handgun ever falling out, no matter if you’re running or doing jumping jacks or whatnot. Longevity-wise, I bought this in June 2022 and it’s now Jan 2023 & everything about it is still like it was from the factory; nothing’s loosened, broke, nor has the draw changed at all. John H.
9. TWGE OWB Holster
Highlight: Comfortably secure and quick to draw, the TWGE OWB Holster is perfect for everyday carry with easy access.
Constructive Review: Favorite holster so far inexpensive hold my gun securely and it doesn’t fall off my belt no matter how hard I pull, but the release worked great. I only have one complaint because I forgot where I bought the thing when I went to buy a second the namebrand isn’t printed on the plastic. I do have a second complaint for the manufacturer. They don’t make one that accommodates lights or lasers. S. Walters
Trending Review: Love the Thumb-release retention mechanism on this holster. (Beware the Index finger release! Known to cause accidental bang.). Not even “for the money” but at any reasonable holster price, this is a very nice holster. FWIW: It fits the Ruger RMX well. My only caveat is that it seems to be made of plastic rather than kydex, so it’s durability may suffer, but maybe not. Update: I liked it enough that I also ordered the Thumb release with belt clip. -Philip
Reassuring Review: I wasn’t sure what to think when I received the holster as the package was very light. I have another holster by another manufacturer that is twice it’s weight and requires fine tuning with an Allen wrench for proper fit. This fit my Glock 19 Gen 5 perfectly. The thumb release is very easy to use and it secures the gun very well. And it’s super light. So far, I am very impressed. It is very comfortable to wear and it’s my new standard for daily carry. Just keep in mind that these holsters are for a specific model and cannot be altered to fit another handgun.
If you are looking for a universal, please look into something different. I paid under $25 and I think it is a solid value. You can modify the cant or angle with the provided Allen wrench, but it is centered and secured for straight pull up draw. I will be ordering another one for my other guns and the mag pouches. The profile is good and they aren’t bulky or heavy and are comfortable. These features are what you want in an every day carry holster. -Brian
10. Bedone OWB Paddle Holster
Highlight:
Constructive Review: I have numerous holsters as most people do who own firearms. This one is my favorite as although it locks the firearm in place so a fall or whatever won’t send the gun flying it’s also extremely easy to unholster when needed. I’d suggest doing that actually at least 50 times a day for a month or so in order to get muscle memory happening so if the unfortunate day comes where you actually need to use it to save a life that you won’t have to think about it and end up fumbling around taking up precious seconds that can mean life or death.
After owning a holster and watching my firearm slide down the road when I dumped my motorcycle I learned then exactly how important it could be to never let that possibility happen again and for instance… if someone were to hit you from behind as in a surprise attack/ambush and sent you sprawling onto the ground would your current holster allow for your firearm to go flying or easily be grabbed by the enemy or would it be securely locked against your hip? If your answer isn’t the right one then I’d suggest purchasing this holster.
It’s comfortable, well made, and light. I see nothing wrong about it or anything that I’d change.
Also, it sits high enough where a T-shirt will cover it although being outside the belt it leaves a imprint.
My state, SC, allows for open carry as well as concealed (with a CCP) so I care less about imprinting but if your state doesn’t allow for open carry this could easily be concealable if wearing say a untucked flannel shirt over your t-shirt. -St. Imnot
Trending Review: The G19 Holster offers a secure and versatile solution for Glock 19, 19X, 44, 45, as well as Glock 23 and 32 owners. Designed for OWB (Outside the Waistband) carry, this paddle holster provides quick access to your firearm while ensuring a snug and secure fit.
Crafted from durable polymer materials, the holster is built to withstand the demands of daily use. The adjustable paddle design allows for customizable fit and retention, catering to individual preferences and carry styles.

Overall, the G19 OWB Paddle Holster offers reliability, durability, and versatility for Glock owners seeking a secure and accessible carry solution. Whether for daily carry, range use, or outdoor activities, this holster provides peace of mind and confidence in firearm retention. Highly recommended for Glock enthusiasts looking for a dependable holster option. -Kurt
Reassuring Review: If you’re on the fence, I can say with great certainty that this holster is the real deal. I don’t know if I can say anything that hasn’t been said, but I will go first by saying that, especially at this price point, this holster meets all my criteria.
It fits like a glove in all the right places on my Glock 19 Gen 4, and holds it tight with no rattle at all. There is spacing on the top (sight) side of the holster which prevents any rubbing between the fixed sights and the holster itself. This is ideal, considering that the factory sights on the Glock 19 are plastic, and can be worn down over time – especially due to repeated holster contact.
The safety release button promotes trigger discipline, which is a must have, and possibly my favourite part about this. Quickdraw is remarkably easy, after a short while of playing around with the release.
As the holster is made from a high strength polymer, it may not be as comfortable as other more expensive holsters made from softer materials (leather, neoprene). However, even on an all day carry, I’ve had no problems or discomfort with it, but if not concealing, it may be best to tuck your shirt into your waistband as that will provide a bit of cushion for long term wear.
It’s worth noting that this holster is not compatible with flashlight/laser attachments.
In conclusion, for ~$20, I couldn’t be happier with this holster. The old saying goes “You get what you pay for”, but as this product shows, sometimes you get more. -Jacob Nelson
