Types of holsters for CZ P10M

There are many holsters to choose from. They vary in materials, in its size, in its construction, the size of sweatguard, etc. But the main differentiation between holsters is how they are carried. There are two types of holsters from this perspective:

This holstering solution is popular mostly for larger handguns. Why? Because the OWB holster bring more comfort as the gun is not pushing you into your body, but is outside and thus does not interfere with your body at all.

On the other hand, as the gun is outside of the pants, this type of holstering is more tricky for concealment. You can definitely hide the holster and the holstered gun even with OWB holster, but you have to take clothing into consideration.
