Okay today we would like to talk about different types of holsters that is used for firearms and it's funny holsters have actually been around since the beginning of man. Obviously, there were more primitive but they made sheaths or apparatuses to hold certain tools and things of that nature and it kind of evolved out the years and when firearms came around in order for a person to carry it on their person, they came up ideas of all different types which brings us to modern day holsters. What we have today to carry our firearms in. Whether we carry it on our person or a dewy belt or however. We have different types. We have a shoulder holster which is worn over their shoulders and the weapon lies under the armpit. We have support side which would be "the weak" side if you wanted to carry. That would be for cross drawing. We have an ankle holster where you could actually a small caliber firearm on your ankle to be less conspicuous or to conceal it. And then you have the back holster which can be for right or left handed which is concealed in the small of the back with the jacket on. It probably would be undetected. Then you have your support side or strong side which would be your shooting hand side which is worn on the hip. Those are the various different types of holsters that are accessible that are round and have been for quite some time and later as we get into it, we will get more in depth with the different types of holsters.
