I’m in the market for a new holster for my Ruger LCP, and I’m hoping to get some insights from fellow firearm enthusiasts on what the best options are. I’ve been considering different types — IWB, pocket, and Kydex holsters, but I’m not sure which would suit my needs best.

Factors I’m Considering:

  • Concealability: Since I plan to carry it concealed, it’s important that the holster provides good concealment.
  • Comfort: I want something I can wear for extended periods without discomfort.
  • Quality: Durability is key; I don’t want to replace my holster frequently.
  • Personal Experiences: I love hearing stories—what works, what doesn’t, and why you love your holster.

Questions I Have:

  • What is your favorite holster for the Ruger LCP?
  • Have you tried both IWB and pocket holsters? Which do you prefer and why?
  • Are there specific brands that stand out in terms of quality and comfort?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts.

I’m on the hunt for a good holster for my Ruger LCP too! I’ve heard inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters are great for concealment. Anyone have suggestions?

Definitely check out IWB options! They are comfortable for all-day wear and pretty discreet. Just make sure to choose one with a good retention system.

I tend to lean towards outside-the-waistband (OWB) holsters. They offer easy access and are great for range days. Just watch for concealment if you’re going out and about!

I agree! OWB is awesome for open carry, but I’ve heard they can be less discreet. Did anyone try pocket holsters?

I’ve been using a pocket holster for my LCP for a while now. They’re super convenient and perfect for casual outings. Just be wary of drawing quickly!

That’s good to know! I’m curious how they hold up over time. Any issues like wear and tear?

I’ve also tried ankle holsters, but they can be a hassle if you’re not wearing long pants. They’re best for those who can dress around their carry.

Interesting! I’ve always thought they looked kind of comical. Do they really work?

I find that the ankle holster can be really effective for concealed carry with the right attire. It’s not for everyone, though. I prefer IWB for daily use myself.

I’ve heard great things about hybrid holsters that combine IWB and OWB features! Is anyone using those for their Ruger LCP?

Hybrid holsters sound cool! Do they retain the gun well when you sit down?

From my experience, hybrid holsters can be comfy but do check the retention. Sometimes they can loosen over time with regular use.

It’s fascinating how different everyone’s preferences are! Finding the right holster requires fitting our needs and lifestyle. Just remember, practice makes perfect when drawing!

I’ve tried a few Ruger LCP holsters and found that material really affects comfort. Leather is great for feel, but Kydex offers better retention.

16

Absolutely! Kydex is my favorite for all-day carry. It’s lightweight and adjusts well to my movements.

17

I actually prefer hybrid holsters. They combine the comfort of leather against the body with the retention of Kydex. It’s the best of both worlds! Anyone else feel the same?

Hybrid holsters definitely have their perks. I’ve found them more breathable than full Kydex. Plus, they look pretty cool!

I agree! However, some people find hybrids bulky. What are your experiences?

I’ve had both nylon and leather holsters. The nylon is lighter, but I feel like it doesn’t offer as much retention as leather or Kydex. But it’s great for warm weather!
