Choosing the Right Gun Holster

The right holster depends on your role, your carry position and the firearm you are running. A belt holster sits at the hip and offers a natural, fast draw for everyday and range use, making it the most common choice for police, security and recreational shooters. A thigh holster or leg gun holster drops the pistol lower on the leg, which suits operators wearing body armour or plate carriers where a hip-mounted holster would be obstructed. Mid-ride and pancake holster designs offer a middle ground, sitting closer to the body for a cleaner profile without the full drop of a leg rig.

If you are carrying a Glock 17, the most widely issued service pistol in the UK, we stock dedicated Glock 17 holsters from several manufacturers, all sized and retention-tested specifically for that platform. The same applies to other common service pistols; browse by brand or filter by compatibility to find the correct fit.

Leg Rigs and Tactical Holster Systems

A leg rig combines a holster with an integrated thigh platform and securing straps, distributing the weight of a pistol and magazine pouches across the leg rather than the belt. This makes them the preferred choice for use over plate carriers, load-bearing vests and in vehicle operations where hip access is restricted. Our tactical leg rigs are compatible with standard pistols and sidearms, with MOLLE-compatible surfaces for attaching additional pouches and accessories. Straps are adjustable to fit over most trousers and combats, and the construction throughout uses reinforced stitching and durable materials rated for operational use.

MOLLE Pistol Holsters and Belt Holsters

For those building a modular loadout, MOLLE pistol holsters can be mounted directly to the MOLLE or laser-cut panels of a plate carrier, chest rig or belt system without the need for a separate leg platform. This keeps the holster fully integrated with the rest of your kit and allows repositioning to suit your carry preference. Our belt holster range covers OWB (outside waistband) designs in a variety of retention levels, from friction-fit to active retention with thumb-break or locking mechanisms.

Police and Military Holster Options

We supply holsters to serving personnel, police forces and security professionals as well as the wider tactical community. If you are looking for a police gun holster or a duty holster suitable for professional carry, our range includes duty-rated designs with appropriate retention levels for operational use.
