Welcome to Bear Creek Holsters • Outer Waist Band (OWB) Holsters
Outer Waist band Holsters are considered by many as the most comfortable. Unfortunately, they are also considered by many as the hardest to conceal. In colder climates where jackets and coats are more prevalent, concealment is not as hard. In warmer climates where jackets and coats are rare or none existent, it becomes harder to conceal. The use of a good thick belt helps support an IWB holster.
An OWB holster is excellent to use at a shooting range. We believe that the use of a good OWB holster is a safety feature at the range. When you are not shooting, your firearm can be made safe and holstered. This helps keep individuals from inadvertently pointing a firearm in an un-safe direction.
An IWB holster can be constructed with or without a cant/rake at various degrees of slant. Typically, an approximate cant of 15-20 degrees is normal. The purpose of the cant is to tilt the firearm forward, thus making the butt of the firearm tilt upwards. This will make it easier to conceal.
