Holsters: Small of Back Concealed Carry for Handguns

Holsters: To ensure a perfect gun-to-holster fit, I block and hand-bone every holster to the weapon it is designed to carry. This is my personal guarantee!

The SOB2 is one of my most popular and successful holsters. It was designed originally for airport security staff and sky marshals, but is now used world-wide by BGs, law-enforcement personnel and DEA operatives. It is particularly suitable for women in plainclothes where conventional belt carry holsters may present concealment problems. It provides an unorthodox but effective form of covert carry, using the natural hollow in the small of the back as a place of concealment. Wet-blocking and heavy hand-molding to the weapon it is designed to carry provide more than adequate retention, yet the radical rake allows for an extremely fast, natural draw -- as easy, in fact, as reaching behind you.
This is a task-specific holster and like all task-specific holsters, common sense dictates that there are some obvious situations where its use would not be appropriate, such as when seated in a vehicle, wearing several layers of clothing, etc. In short, any given set of circumstances that would prevent you from reaching behind you. In all other situations, however, whether for principal weapon or for backup, this mode of concealed carry is hard to beat. A rear protective tab is not available with this holster. Check the availability of the SOB2 for your weapon by consulting the Holster Selector Chart.
