Do you own, or consider owning, a weak-side holster?

[ShooterMcGavin]

This question came to me recently, as I have hurt my strong-side hand. Recently, I have been considering getting a holster to carry one of my guns on my weak-side. I have practiced shooting with my weak hand (sparingly, mind you). Why not buy a cheap holster for the rare times when you can't (or don't want to?) carry on your strong side? Hurting your hand, consequently reducing your ability to carry, is rare, but so are many other things we prepare for.

Do you own a holster for carrying on your weak-side (or have you considered it)? What prompted you to buy it?


P.S. I did not make this into a poll because I'd prefer to hear your thoughts on this idea, rather than YES/NO

Considering that 90% of holsters out there ARE weak-sided holsters for ME (left-handed), it may be inevitable to have one.

I have a weak side holster... for my weak side spare gun

As good a reason as any

Maybe for seated cross-draw, but otherwise, no.

Yep, I have weak side holsters for my Kahrs and for 1911s. Every so often I will do a day of weak side training. I need to do more.

Yup, I like a weak side holster for field use so as not to foul anything strong side. Field use I may have a S&W N frame carried outside waist band that might interfere with a rifle stock.

Crossdraw is easily accessed with either hand.

For CC I use a universal slide holster that can be worn on either side, IWB or OWB. For field holsters I use those cheap nylon rigs that can be worn on either side.

They work just fine for me in any situation and didn't break the bank.

I have an uncle mikes "pancake" style holster that is either/or. Also have a couple of Miltech and cheap no name gunshow nylon type holsters that are either or.

I occasionally carry an NAA Guardian IWB weak side as a "backup", but that is only occasionally.

I practice weak handed on every range trip (at least one mag worth), and I'm fairly long-armed and can access my carry weapon from either of my strong side carry modes (with the exception of pocket carry, see "backup" above) with my weak hand.

I carry on both sides. I work at this skill constantly. It is an eye opener when you run one dry and draw another and keep hitting steel. It really does feel great. Plus, on the left side, I can draw with my seatbelt on.
