IWB Holsters for Concealed Carry

If you're looking for the best IWB holster, Elite Survival Systems offers a full selection of inside-the-waistband holsters for sale. IWB holsters carry your pistol securely at the waistline, tucked between your body and your pants for deep, comfortable concealment. Our sizes fit handguns with or without a light, laser, or red dot optic — so you can find a holster built for your exact setup.

What Is an IWB Holster?

IWB stands for “inside the waistband.” As the name suggests, the holster sits inside your pants at the waistline, holding your gun close to the body where it's easy to conceal under an untucked shirt. It's the most popular carry method for everyday concealed carry because it hides a compact or full-size pistol with minimal printing.

Choosing the Right IWB Holster

All of our IWB holsters let you position your pistol at nearly any point on the waistline for right- or left-hand use, including cross draw, strong-side, and small-of-back (SOB) carry. From there, pick the design that fits how you carry:

Clipless holsters — a low-profile option that stays put without a visible belt clip.
Combo holsters — a versatile rig with a built-in magazine pouch.
Belly band holsters — wrap-around carry that works with athletic wear and outfits without a belt.
Mag pouches — keep a spare magazine secure and within reach.

Match the holster to your handgun and any attachments — many of our IWB holsters are sized to fit pistols with a light, laser, or red dot optic.

Can You Wear an IWB Holster OWB?

We're often asked if an IWB holster can be worn outside the waistband. As a rule, we don't recommend using a holster for any purpose other than its intended design. The exception is our Combo holster — a versatile system that can be worn both inside or outside the waistband, with a built-in mag pouch.
