When choosing a holster for your concealed carry pistol, it’s important to use the right material. For example, nylon holsters are soft, flexible, and inexpensive, but typically aren’t durable enough to be used for EDC purposes.
Conversely, you’ll notice that many of the top IWB holsters and even many OWB holsters are made of leather. Leather holsters are also comfortable, but the ones that are good enough to be worth buying tend to be very expensive.
Kydex holsters straddle the line between rigidity and price, without the need to skimp on quality. Simply put, the best kydex holster costs much less than the best leather holster, because it’s cheaper to pour hot kydex into a mold than it is to stitch, shape, and cure several layers of leather and padding. As a result, just about every top-selling holster on the market is an IWB-holster.
15 Best Kydex Holsters

- Full-length sweat guard
- Available left and right-handed
- Adjustable retention and cant
The Concealment Express is designed to fit some of the most popular pistols on the market. These include the Glock 17 and 19, Glock’s two most powerful models, as well as the 22, 23, 26, 27, 31, 32, and 33 variants on those frames. It’s even designed to carry the latest Gen 5 versions of these pistols, so your brand new baby and your vintage daily driver will both be safe and secure.
This holster features a full-length Kydex sweat guard, which is designed to separate your gun from your skin or undershirt. This keeps your pistol dry and keeps it from corroding unnecessarily. It also allows you to adjust the belt clip, so you can customize your grip. Simply loosen the three Phillips head screws, and you can swivel the holster 15 degrees.
In addition, the Concealment Express comes in both left and right-handed variants. Whichever side you draw from, this holster will be able to accommodate your needs.
Pros
- Good sweat protection
- Secure, clicking grip
- Can be carried out in multiple positions

Cons

2. DTOM Ultimate Tuck
DTOM Ultimate Tuck
Features
- DTOM LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE! - From workmanship to function to everything else, we want you to be TOTALLY HAPPY - if your purchased DTOM item doesn't satisfy, simply contact us, and we'll rush your free replacement (FOR LIFE!). You take NO RISK by ordering today!
- Adjustable Metal Belt Clips allows for low or high IWB carry as well as giving you a way to adjust the drawing angle of your weapon.
- Fits Belts up to 1 3/4, for Glk 17, 19, 26, 22, 23, 27
- Material: Highest Grade Napa Leather, Kydex, Steel Metal Clips. Built to be one of the most comfortable IWB methods of carry on the market today.
The DTOM Ultimate Tuck is designed to print as little as possible, with a wide, flat leather waist guard.
Key Features
- Fits the Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, and 27
- Kydex shell and leather waist guard
- Right-handed design
- Adjustable, steel belt clips
The DTOM Ultimate Tuck is the second Glock 17 holster on our list, and like the last one, it’s also compatible with the Glock 19 and a handful of other variants. Because it doesn’t offer any retention adjustment, it’s not suitable for as wide a variety of pistols as the Concealment Express, particularly for the largest pistols, but it’s still well-sized for the most common CCW guns.
This holster is screw-mounted to a wide leather waist guard, which is the reason there aren’t any adjustment options. The waist guard itself has three adjustable positions for the belt hook, so you can modify the height, but there’s no cant or retention adjustment.
That said, the waist guard is an excellent value. It spreads out the profile of your gun, reducing printing to a bare minimum. The thick leather also absorbs heat very well, so you won’t burn your leg even if you holster a hot pistol at the range.
Pros
- Wide, flat, and comfortable
- Durable construction
- Secure belt clip
- Lifetime replacement guarantee
Cons
- Doesn’t cover the entire trigger guard
- The clip is not adjustable
This holster is very comfortable to wear, with no pressure points to dig into your skin.
3. CYA Supply Co.
CYA Supply Co.

Key Features
- Fits the Glock 19, 19X, 23, 32, and 45
- Powder-coated stainless steel belt clip
- Full-length sweat guard
- Right-handed design
- Adjustable retention and cant
The CYA Supply IWB Holster is designed for larger-framed Glocks, including the 19, 19X, 23, 32, and even the beefier 45. As advertised, it will accommodate the newer Gen 5 variants, but be aware that some Gen 5s come with an ambidextrous slide release.
The holster won’t accommodate the left-side release on these models, so make sure you’re using a right-handed gun before you buy one.
That said, this holster is very well designed, and is engineered to keep your gun safe and your draw smooth. A full-length slide guard protects your pistol from corrosion, and the belt clip is rugged and easy to adjust. In addition, the manufacturer includes a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Don’t you like your holster? Send it back, no questions asked.
The cant and retention screws on this holster are all adjustable, so you can customize the tightness to fit perfectly for your model, and the angle for your preferred draw. Just make sure to have an Allen key handy, since you’ll need one for adjustments, and none is included with the kit.
Pros
- Durable construction
- Firm retention
- 100 percent satisfaction guarantee
Cons
- Does not fit pistols with an ambidextrous slide release
This holster is constructed for as much retention as possible for a CCW pistol.
4. Fierce Defender
Features
- Thick .08 Kydex material that is strong, durable, and molded specifically for your weapon
- Advanced holster style intended for the experienced daily carrier
- Adjustable Retention so you can get the perfect fit
- Will only fit the exact model in the description
- Features "Claw" that reduces printing and increases concealment
The Fierce Defender offers discreet printing, along with powerful retention.
Key Features
- Fits the Glock 19, 23, and 32
- Claw attachment for reduced printing
- Full-length sweat guard
- Right-handed design
The Fierce Defender Paladin Series is large and adjustable to fit a Glock 19, 23, or 32. It’s molded to hit even the latest variants, including the Gen 5. It has an open design, which allows for a wide opening that makes it easy to holster, while still including a full-length sweat guard and a trigger guard that covers the entire trigger assembly.
That said, the open design is too wide for the Glock 17 and similar frames, while the retention is not adjustable enough to accommodate larger 19-frame pistols like the 45. The retention screws are also prone to slipping, so you’ll want to apply some Loctite when you first adjust them.
One neat feature on this holster is the unique “claw” extension, which is basically a flat Kydex panel that extends down from the bottom of the grip and across to the muzzle, creating a square profile that looks like anything but a pistol. This attachment is removable, so you can take it off if it makes your gun uncomfortable.
Pros
- Easy holstering and release
- Strong retention
- Reduced printing
Cons
- Difficult to adjust retention
For a large pistol like the Glock 19, quality retention is essential, and this holster provides it.
5. Fierce Defender +1
Features
- Thick .08 Kydex material that is strong, durable, and molded specifically for your weapon
- Designed for the EXPERIENCED appendix concealed carry user
- Adjustable Retention for both gun & magazine, so you can get the perfect fit
- Flared opening allows for easy re-holstering
- CNC Machined for ultimate consistency and accuracy
The Fierce Defender +1 Series features a built-in magazine pouch, so you can carry as much ammo as you need.
Key Features
- Fits the Glock 19, 23, and 32
- Built-in magazine pouch
- Full-length sweat guard
- Right-handed design
- Adjustable retention
- Designed for abdominal carry
The Fierce Defender +1 Series is a Glock 19 holster that also carries an extra magazine. It will also fit the Glock 23 and 32, including the latest Gen 5 variants. This is a wide holster, designed for AIWB carry.
This holster is right-handed only, designed to be worn just on the right side of your abdomen. It also features a magazine pocket that’s located on your left side, which makes it easy to pull out your replacement magazine with your left hand. The downside is that there’s no left-handed version available, so southpaws will need to look elsewhere.
This holster has a very wide profile, as we’ve already mentioned. This keeps the profile from looking at all like a gun, but the outer edges can dig into your gut. Then again, this design provides top-tier adjustable retention, which you don’t often see from a low-profile holster.
Pros
- Discreet concealment
- Easy to adjust the retention
- Large ammo capacity
Cons
- Poor magazine retention
- Uncomfortable edges
If you want to carry a magazine with your CCW, this holster is a good choice.
6. Concealment Express
Features
- Type: IWB - Inside The Waistband - Easily Adjustable Retention Pressure & Carry Angle (Cant) 0-15 Degrees with Phillips Screwdriver (No Special Tools Needed!)
- Posi 'Click' Audible Retention Lock System - Integrated Full Length Sweat Guard - Black Oxide Treated Hardware w/Threadlock
- Material: .08 inch KYDEX for a Perfect Custom Molded Fit - Weight: Only 2.5 oz. - Standard Belt Clip: 1.5 inch Fiber Reinforced Stealth ABS - Claw Compatible: Yes
- CountryOrgin : USA
This Concealment Express is identical to the Glock 17 holster that kicked off our list.
Key Features
- Fits the Glock 43 and 43X
- Full-length sweat guard
- Available left and right-handed
- Adjustable retention and cant
If the Concealment Express looks familiar, it should. This is a smaller version of the first holster on our list, but it’s sized for the subcompact Glock 43 and 43X, rather than for the standard-sized Glock 19.
This holster offers excellent retention. It’s molded to fit your pistol’s contours like a glove, and it clicks when your gun locks into place, so you know it’s secure. Retention is also adjustable, so you can have as tight or as loose of a draw as you desire. Be careful of the front corner on the muzzle. It’s sharp, and it can dig into your skin or snag your clothes if you’re not careful.
Pros
- Can be carried in any position
- Secure retention
- Adjustable cant and retention
Cons
- The sharp corner can snag inside your pants
If you want a subcompact holster that works like the real thing and not a toy, this will do the trick.
7. Gritr Universal
Features
- FITS: Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33 Gen 1-5. TYPE: Right Hand Holster - RH, IWB. COMPATIBLE WITH belts up to 2in wide. Audible Retention Lock System makes it extremely fast and easy to put on and takes off your gun. Fits Glock with red dots
- TOP QUALITY MATERIALS: Our gun holsters are made with a tough .08" KYDEX - strong but lightweight and comfortable for lifetime using in any situation. Waterproof and washable, it features a sweat guard that covers the full length of the slide
- EASILY ADJUSTABLE RETENTION PRESSURE & CARRY ANGLE: GRITR holsters come with a retention screw that ensures your Glock is secure when holstered. Adjustable cant allows you to choose any carry angle between 0-15 degrees
- 100% MADE IN THE USA: All GRITR holsters for Glock guns are 100% American made with American sourced materials from our KYDEX to the last screw. So what is GRITR? It’s GRIT to the power of R - Resilience, Resourcefulness, Resolve. We are GRIT-R THAN GRIT
- UNLIMITED GRIT LIFETIME WARRANTY: Yes, unlimited means UNLIMITED, as in as many times as you need it. Should your product become damaged or defective, GRITR will repair it at no cost to you. Our warranty, like our grit, doesn't surrender.
The Gritr Universal includes a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty, so you can use it as long as you own your pistol.
Key Features
- Fits the Glock 48 and 43X
- Built-in magazine pouch
- Full-length sweat guard
- Available left and right-handed
- Adjustable retention
- Designed for abdominal carry
The Gritr Universal is designed to carry both a Glock 48 pistol and a spare magazine. If you tighten the retention screw, it’s also suitable for carrying a slimmer Glock 43X. Just make sure to adjust the screw with the pistol holstered, and loosen as necessary for release, rather than going the other way around. The last thing you want is to find out at the critical moment that your holster is too tight.
The design itself is durable, with a wide, heavy-duty belt clip that’s rubber-coated to protect both your belt and your fingers. The design is backed by Gritr’s lifetime warranty, which guarantees all components for the lifetime of the holster.
Essentially, this is the last holster you’re ever going to need to buy. When adjusted properly, this holster will click when your pistol is secure, so you know you have a safe carry. That said, it’s not very comfortable, with a wide design that can dig into your stomach or your hip when you’re sitting.
Pros
- Secure clicking retention
- Rugged and durable
- Lifetime manufacturer’s warranty
Cons
- Uncomfortable fit
This holster will carry not just your pistol, but additional ammo to boot.
8. Tulster M&P Shield
Tulster M&P Shield
Features
- Minimal to zero "drag" until retention point keeping "holster wear" down to a minimum.
- Comes with a 1.5" Quick Clip that makes it extremely fast and easy to put on and take off your weapon.
- Adjustable cant (angle) from 0-30 degrees. Forward hole is oblong to allow for you to choose any angle between 0-30 degrees.
- Adjustable positive retention point. When gun is fully holstered you get a audible and noticeable "click"
- Holster has a full sweat shield to aid in re-holstering by giving you an indexing point and to keep clothing out of the opening.
The Tulster M&P provides secure retention for your M&P Shield.
Key Features
- Fits the M&P Shield in 9mm or .40 caliber
- Full-length sweat guard
- Right-handed design
- Adjustable retention and cant
The Tulster M&P Shield is the first holster on our list that’s not designed for a Glock pistol. Instead, it’s built to carry the M&P Shield, Smith and Wesson’s popular alternative automatic pistol. Be aware that it’s sized for the 9mm or the .40 caliber. Other variants of the Shield will be too large, but when properly sized, this holster provides a discreet, minimal print.
The retention on the Tulster is adjustable, as is the cant, which can be rotated up to 30 degrees. This allows for a comfortable carry in almost any position around your waist. It also clicks when your pistol is secured, although obviously, you’ll have to adjust the retention properly in order for this function to work.
This is a pricey holster, much more costly than you’d pay for a Glock holster of similar quality. Then again, when it comes to holsters for the M&P Shield, there are far fewer options, so what you see is what you get.
Pros
- Strong retention
- Discreet printing
- Can be carried in any position
Cons
- Pricey
Whether you’re carrying in the small of your back or inside your waistband, this holster provides a flat, discreet profile.
9. B.B.F Make

- Only Compatible with Taurus G3C / G2C / G2S & Millennium G2 PT111 / PT140 Pistol -- Incompatible with attachments such as light/laser/Rail.

- CUSTOMIZE THE CANT of the 1.5” standard belt clip with a Hex Key for faster draw speeds and optimal concealment under clothing. The black powder-coated stainless steel hardware can be adjusted from 0 to 30 degrees without sacrificing full accessibility.
- ADJUSTABLE RETENTION PRESSURE ensures a fast and smooth draw, customized to your needs. Adjustments can be made quickly so you can tighten the retention screw for your morning jog and loosen it later for regular carry.
The BBF Make is designed to carry your Taurus pistol anywhere on your waistband.
Key Features
- Fits the Taurus G2C, Millennium G2, PT111, and PT140
- Full-length sweat guard
- Right-handed design
- Stainless steel belt clip
- Adjustable retention and cant
The BBF Make is a universal holster for the Taurus G2C frame. This means it will carry not only the G2C, but the Millennium G2, PT111, and PT140. It’s designed to carry in just about any position, with a cant that’s easily adjustable along a 15-degree axis.
Printing with this holster is minimal, with its angled design that pitches the grip towards your body. The belt clip is very sturdy, with a powder-coated stainless steel design that can take a lot of abuse.
The BBF Make features adjustable retention, as well as an adjustable cant. Simply loosen the large, Phillips screws, and you can pivot the holster in either direction. The construction is very durable, with thick sides that remain rigid even under a lot of stress.
Pros

10. Fobus Concealed Carry Paddle
Fobus Paddle
Features
- Holster and Magazine Pouch
The Fobus Concealed Carry Paddle is as discreet as you can possibly make a 1911 holster.
Key Features
- Fits the Colt 1911 and other .45-caliber 1911 pistols
- Includes double magazine pouch
- Built-in leather hip guard
- Right-handed design
The Fobus Concealed Carry Paddle Holster is an ideal choice for your 1911. Now, 1911 isn’t the most concealable pistol by nature, but Fobus does a good job of making it as discreet as possible. It features heavy leather paddles to break up the profile and a heavy-duty Kydex shell that’s able to take a ton of abuse.
This holster manages to accommodate all 1911 models by locking onto the trigger guard, rather than the upper part of the frame. This offers more versatility than you’d get from frame retention, but there’s no adjustment screw, so your grip is exactly what it’s going to be.
Pros
- Large ammo capacity
- Discreet printing
- Durable construction
Cons
- Not adjustable
- Holds single-stack magazines only
The double magazine sleeves in this holster allow you to carry plenty of ammunition for your CCW needs.
11. B.B.F Make
Features
- CARRY WITH CONFIDENCE when you secure your pistol in our concealed carry gun holster. Specifically designed for the Sig Sauer P938 models, this robust waistband holster safeguards your handgun while facilitating discreet, safe carry.
- RUGGED .08” KYDEX is strong yet lightweight for comfortable, confident carry in any situation. Waterproof and washable, it features a sweat guard that covers the full length of the slide to help maintain your side arm in pristine condition.
- CUSTOMIZE THE CANT of the 1.5” standard belt clip with a Phillips screwdriver for faster draw speeds and optimal concealment under clothing. The black powder-coated stainless steel hardware can be adjusted from 0 to 15 degrees without sacrificing full accessibility.
- ADJUSTABLE RETENTION PRESSURE ensures a fast and smooth draw, customized to your needs. Adjustments can be made quickly so you can tighten the retention screw for your morning jog and loosen it later for regular carry.
- LIFETIME WARRANTY pledge ensures your peace of mind when you choose this Amberide IWB Holster. If our product should ever cease to perform as promised, return it for replacement or a full refund of your purchase price.
The BBF Make provides for minimal printing and is easy to carry anywhere around your waistband.
Key Features
- Fits the Sig Sauer P938
- Full-length sweat guard
- Available left and right-handed
- Stainless steel belt clip
- Adjustable retention and cant
The BBF Make is built for the Sig Sauer P938, which is one of the newer pistols on the market. It’s only been on the market since 2011, but it’s quickly gained popularity, to the extent that we thought it would be worthwhile to include a holster that’s designed for it.
It’s engineered to stay securely mounted on your belt, with a powder-coated steel clip that holds it securely against your body, which keeps the printing to a discreet flat profile. It’s also adjustable for a variety of draw styles, with a cant that’s adjustable by 15 degrees. Finally, it includes a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.
Pros
- Durable hardware
- Discreet printing
- Can be worn in multiple positions
- Lifetime manufacturer’s warranty
Cons
- Poor retention
If you’re looking for a reliable holster for your P938, this is a good choice.
12. FoxX Deluxe Trapp
FoxX Deluxe Trapp
Features
- Kydex Inside the Waistband Holster for Ruger SR 9c & 40c
- Easy On/off - Full Sweat Shield
- Adjustable for Ride Height, Cant, & Retention
- Easy to Conceal, Comfortable & Tuckable
- Proudly Made in the USA!
The FoxX Deluxe Trapp is exceptionally comfortable.
Key Features
- Fits the Ruger SR9C and SR40C
- Built-in sweat shield
- Right-handed design
- Kydex belt clip
- Adjustable retention and cant
The FoxX Deluxe Trapp is another offbeat holster, but you’ll appreciate this if you’re a Ruger owner. The Deluxe Trapp is designed for the Ruger SR9C and SR40C, allowing you to carry Ruger’s most popular pistols with ease. Like many of the Glock holsters we’ve looked at, it’s adjustable to 15 degrees, allowing for a variety of carrying positions.
The sweat shield is disappointing. It doesn’t cover the pistol all the way to the back of the slide. On the one hand, this is comfortable, but on the other hand, it means you’ll need to be extra-rigorous with your cleaning and oiling regimen to avoid corrosion.
Pros
- Plenty of retention
- Discreet printing
- Comfortable
Cons
- Minimal sweat protection
This holster provides a discreet, flat profile for your Ruger pistol.
13. Glock-IWB Veteran Owned
Features
- Optics Ready: Integrated optics cut accepts most sights, providing full freedom in your setup
- Next Gen Materials: Boltaron polymer construction is superior to traditional, cheaper Kydex holsters in impact and temperature resistance, keeping your protection safe and ready to perform
- All Day Comfort: Slim profile chassis weighs just a few ounces and minimizes printing. Full length sweat guard shields your weapon from incidental moisture
- Perfect Fit: Custom molded for your firearm, ensuring a smooth draw and reholster, every time. Recessed design removes friction points, minimizing holster wear common to most holsters.
- Superior Performance: Posi Click system delivers a satisfying "click", indicating your firearm is properly holstered. Adjustable retention pressure and cant (0-15 degrees) allows you to custom tailor the feel to your needs
The Concealed Carrier Veteran Owned offers a rugged design at an affordable price.
Key Features
- Fits the Glock 19, 19X, 23, 32, and 45
- Kydex construction
- Left and right-handed versions are available
- Plastic belt clip
The Concealed Carrier Glock 19 IWB Holster is purpose-built for the Glock 19, although the adjustable fit allows you to loosen it enough to fit the larger-framed 19X, 23, 32, and 45. The belt clip is constructed from soft plastic and can be adjusted to 15 degrees in either direction. That said, the plastic isn’t as durable as steel, so it won’t last as long when you’re carrying it on an everyday basis.
Pros
- Adjustable retention and cant
- Lifetime manufacturer’s warranty
- Inexpensive
Cons
- Plastic belt clip
This holster is designed to be adjustable, both on the cant and the retention, allowing for an easy draw regardless of your individual technique.
14. Fierce Defender TLR1
Features
- Thick .08 Kydex material that is strong, durable, and molded specifically for your weapon
- Fully covers trigger and backside of gun, providing safety and protection from sweat
- Adjustable Retention so you can get the perfect fit
- Flared opening allows for easy re-holstering
- Adjustable Cant - 0 to 15 Degrees
Fierce Defender’s TLR1 is rough, rugged, and ready to rumble.
Key Features
- Fits Glock 19-frame pistols with Streamlight attachment
- Kydex construction
- Designed for IWB carry
Fierce Defender’s The Warrior Series is designed for the Glock 19 and similar framed pistols, although not the enormous 45. It’s made for a pistol with a Streamlight attachment, so like the last holster we looked at, it’s not an ideal choice if you’re using a pistol with no accessories.
This holster features a large inner sweat shield, which keeps your gun safe from corrosion and wears. It’s also adjustable for a variety of carrying positions and draws strengths.
Pros
- Durable construction
- Highly customizable retention
- Large sweat guard
Cons
- A little pricey
There aren’t many holsters designed to accommodate a Streamlight attachment; this one is very well designed.
15. Fierce Defender Winter
Features
- Thick .08 Kydex material that is strong, durable, and molded specifically for your weapon
- Fully covers trigger and backside of gun, providing safety and protection from sweat
- Adjustable Retention so you can get the perfect fit
- Flared opening allows for easy re-holstering
- Adjustable Cant - 0 to 15 Degrees
The Fierce Defender Winter has a rugged design, with three adjustable grommets to customize your retention.
Key Features
- Fits the Glock 19, 19X, 23, and 32
- Designed for IWB carry
- Designed for pistols with scopes
The Fierce Defender Winter Warrior Series is designed to carry the Glock 19, along with the Glock 19X, 23, and 32, which utilize the same frame. It has a narrow design that’s perfect for carrying in any position, although the cant isn’t adjustable, so you may have trouble getting it to sit right in the small of your back.
The body of the holster itself has a wide opening, with a cutout that’s designed for pistols with reflex sights and red dot scopes. This means it’s a poor choice for a pistol with no accessories. Then again, if you use sight, it’s a fantastic choice.
Pros
- Adjustable retention
- Discreet printing
- Fits all Glock 19-frame pistols
Cons
- On the pricey side
If you want a reliable holster for carrying your pistol with the sight attached, the Winter Warrior Series has you covered.
Bottom Line
As you’ve probably noticed, your primary concern is going to be whether the holster even fits your gun. Kydex is a solid material, and every Kydex concealed holster is molded to fit a specific gun frame. This sometimes means that a single holster will fit multiple guns — for example, the popular Glock 17 frame, which is the basis for more than half a dozen other pistols.
On the other hand, many popular guns are unique, or you may own a boutique pistol. In these cases, your options will be more limited.
Another important thing to look at is the sweat guard. This is a critical feature on an IWB holster since it keeps your pistol safe from getting sweated all over. A large sweat guard also ensures that your pistol’s hardware won’t get snagged on an undershirt while you’re holstering or retrieving your weapon.
