OWB and IWB holsters
One of the first steps after getting a gun is getting a proper holster. You may later also improve sights, enhance grips and others, but a good holster is 100% required.
For tactical and duty purposes there are more types of holsters on the market. But for everyday carry of a gun, we will through the main ones: outside the waistband holsters (OWB) and inside the waistband holsters (IWB).
CZ P07 OWB holsters
OWB in the name stands for outside the waistband. In other words, these holsters are positioned on the out side of your pants.
What these holsters provide is more comfort use and very easy draw. For the position outside of the pants, it does not push you into your body and you almost dont feel like wearing any holster at all. Also the outside position allows very good approach to the gun.
On the other hand, OWB holsters are more difficult to conceal. Not at all that its not possible, but you will have to choose upper clothing with the knowledge that you want to have your gun concealed. For concealed carry of OWB holster is ideal some kind of light jacket or a shirt.
Pros of OWB holster
- more comfortable to wear
- allow easy and quick draw
Cons of OWB holster
- belt has to be taken into consideration to fit the loops
- a bit more difficult to conceal the holster
CZ P07 IWB holsters
CZ P-07 is a compact sized gun and so inside the waistband carry is quite reasonable way of carrying your gun.
Concealment for IWB holsters is 100% and you dont even have to consider clothing compared to OWB holsters (unless you walk around half naked maybe).
As from the definition of OWB holster it will be within your pants, the main benefit is much easier concealment.
On the negative side, the IWB holsters are somewhat less comfortable to wear compared to OWB. Also if you are used to tighter design of your pants, the IWB holster may be difficult to position into such. Also the draw of the gun is something more difficult compared to OWB holster.
Pros of IWB holster
- easier concealment
- gun is closer to your body and you have more control over it
Cons of IWB holster
- less comfortable
- more difficult draw of the gun (can be much improved through training though)
