We tried out several different Ruger SR9C holsters and came up with this list of the 9 best Ruger SR9C OWB holsters. Outside the waistband (OWB) holsters are better for a few reasons. To be specific, OWB holsters are better for their grip, re-holstering and are comfortable. They hold your gun securely to your hip.

The Ruger SR9C is a great handgun and it’s an amazing carry gun.

Let’s begin with our favorite OWB holster and the one we recommend.
