Which Holster or Sling is Right for You?

Have you been looking for a Glock 19 or an AR 15 for sale but have not yet considered other accessories? Chances are, you might want more than just the gun and a mag. One of the most important accessories for a gun is the holster or sling, depending on the kind of firearm you are buying. Here are some factors to keep in mind when you want to carry your firearm hands-free.

IWB vs. OWB

The first question for a handgun is whether you want it inside or outside of your waistband. If you are concealed carrying, chances are you will want IWB. These come in a variety of options, from sitting on your side to your appendix or kidney. For outside of the waistband options, you can typically move the holster anywhere along your belt, as they are not form-fitted to any one area of the body.

Belt or Leg Drop?

If you are open-carrying OWB, perhaps at a competition or a trip to the range, you have a few options. The most common is the holster sitting on the belt combined with the leg drop holster. In the end, positioning often comes down to preference. A leg drop holster is reminiscent of cowboys, dropping the holster down lower on your body and usually adding a strap that goes around your leg for support. This could make grabbing your Ruger Vaquero feel more ergonomic and faster than if it were sitting level with your belt. However, many prefer having the gun higher up, on the belt level. If you choose a leg drop holster, you may need to get parts to convert your current holster, such as with Safariland holsters.

Shoulder, Ankle, and Pocket Holsters

If you are looking for something a little less commonly seen, there are a few other options to consider. The shoulder holster is still a valid way to carry a gun, even if it is often seen as old-fashioned compared to IWB options. Ankle holsters are typically seen as a backup gun option, such as with police officers, and can usually only accept smaller handguns. Pocket holsters are not widely used but are an option if you are concealed carrying. No matter what option you choose, leather holsters should be specific to your gun, so do not choose a holster for a Taurus 1911 and expect a Glock 19 to fit.

One-Point Sling or Two-Point Sling?

The one-point sling often attaches near the stock of a rifle. As its name suggests, it connects to only one point on the rifle. This often leads to the rifle hanging lower than a two-point. For the most part, they are simple and easy to use.

On the other hand, a two-point sling attaches at two points, which can be changed according to your preference. This lets the rifle stay closer to you, slung across your body. You can also lengthen or shorten the sling, which, when tight, can aid in accuracy and recoil mitigation.
