Despite the popularity of today's inside-the-waistband holsters for concealed carriers, there are still plenty of benefits to an outside-the-waistband design, and N8 Tactical is contributing to the OWB market in 2021 with its all-new Pro-Lock OWB holster design.

The two-piece design of the N8 Tactical Pro-Lock OWB holster makes it easy for the company to accommodate hundreds of firearm designs. The specially molded polycarbonate holster pocket matches the contour of your specific handgun, ensuring a tight, friction-retention fit that secures your firearm for all-day carry. This pocket is paired with a leather backer made from two layers of cow hide.

At the heart of the N8 Tactical's Pro-Lock OWB's secure retention system is the company's unique Secure Twist Retention. With this feature, a small pocket modification locks the firearm into place and requires a slight twist of the wrist during a draw to unlock the gun from the polycarbonate shell.

Attaching the N8 Tactical Pro-Lock to your belt is quick and easy, thanks to the two pancake-style belt loops on the holster body. The loops are designed to accommodate belt widths of up to 1.75", and the soft, contoured edges of the loops ensure maximum comfort for all-day use.

Hundreds of firearm fits are available in the Pro-Lock OWB holster lineup, including options for the Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield, Glock G19 and SIG Sauer P365. Suggested retail pricing for the Pro-Lock holster starts at $49.95. For more information, visit n8tactical.com.
