Few clothing styles and accessories have the versatility and universal appeal to stay relevant across generations. As times changes, so do the fashions. All of the effort that goes into designing, creating and marketing a fashion trend will almost inevitably be tossed to the wayside. From powdered wigs to leopard print spandex, we have countless examples of this tendency.

One staple that has endured over hundreds of years, however, is the leather belt. Cowboys, rock stars and CEOs all have their own way to flaunt this iconic accessory. As fashions seem to change on a week-to-week basis, leather belts have proven adaptable to the style changes.

Traditional holsters that attach to the belt or wrap around the shoulder offer great security for your firearm, but it can be a painstaking process to take them on and off. Professionals who are constantly changing clothes and vehicles, such as detectives, need a mobile holster that is quick and easy to remove. A paddle holster is the ideal option for these individuals.

This holster has a concave shape that goes over pants and stays in place using friction from your body. Generally composed of plastic or stiffened leather, these durable holsters are perfect for people who don’t wear a belt. The obvious disadvantage is that they lack the physical security that a shoulder or belt holster offers.
