Concealment, Access, Comfort, Retention: Your Holster Checklist
A Dallas wardrobe — fitted shirts, business casual, dressed-up nights — puts real demands on a concealed-carry setup. Run any holster through this checklist:
- Concealment: does it keep the gun flat and hidden under your everyday clothes?
- Access: can you reach and draw it cleanly and consistently?
- Comfort: can you wear it through a full workday and commute without fighting it?
- Retention: does it hold the firearm secure as you move — and resist a grab?
The right holster isn’t best at one thing — it balances all four for your body and your wardrobe. Practice is what turns that balance into a fast, safe draw.
