If you are making your holster choice based on you reholstering, you might be making the wrong choice. For simplicity and versatility, the clipless IWB holster has a lot to offer.
The Mainstay, from Elite Survival Systems, is an excellent example of the clipless IWB holster. It is light, durable and easy to use, but some consumers get confused when it is time to reholster.
Remember the rule: Reholster reluctantly. The most important functions of a holster are to hold your gun in place and provide quick access. There is no real need for rapid reholstering following a deadly force incident. After the shooting stops and you are sure you are safe, then you can pull the holster out, insert the gun and return the entire unit to your belt. But chances are you won’t get to do that. You should have your gun out and ready for use until the police arrive. When they get there, you likely won’t get the chance to reholster. They will take your gun.
Clipless holsters work for appendix carry, strong-side hip carry and even pocket carry if you have a gun small enough to fit in your pocket. They stay in place even if you are active and they are priced right. Best of all, they are simple and easy to use.
Not Your Traditional Holster
If you are avoiding a clipless IWB holster because you think it will be difficult to reholster, think again. Clipless IWB holsters, like the Mainstay from Elite Survival Systems, give you many great options and might be right for your needs.
