Lindahl Holsters: Purpose-Built OWB Paddle Holsters

Lindahl Holsters designs outside-the-waistband (OWB) paddle holsters engineered for stability, security, and dependable access. Each holster is hand-formed by skilled makers to deliver a locked-in fit, smooth draw, and confident retention—trusted by everyday carriers, range shooters, competitive shooters, and armed professionals.

OWB Holsters Made in the USA

Every Lindahl OWB paddle holster is proudly crafted in our U.S. workshop with a focus on durability, precision, and long-term performance. We use premium materials, hand-molded Kydex, and rugged paddle hardware to ensure your holster stands up to daily use and demanding training environments.

Secure, Model-Specific Open Carry

Our OWB holsters are molded from 0.08" Kydex to the exact shape of your firearm for reliable retention and consistent indexing. Designed to ride securely outside the waistband, our paddle system provides a firm, stable platform without requiring a belt—ideal for the range, duty use, or everyday carry depending on your environment.

The Lindahl Approach to Outside-the-Waistband Carry

A great OWB holster should stay put, draw cleanly, and support a confident re-holster. Lindahl OWB Paddle Holsters are engineered with strong retention, a rigid mounting system, and smooth edge finishing so your holster performs when you need it and remains comfortable throughout the day.

Why Kydex — and Why Lindahl

Kydex is the standard for tough, water-resistant holsters that retain their shape under stress. Our hand-formed Kydex shells protect your firearm, support fast one-handed re-holstering, and resist heavy wear—resulting in a dependable, long-lasting OWB holster you can trust.
