It’s no secret that the Sig Sauer P365 is one of our favorite concealed carry guns.
Our legendary love affair with this 9mm micro-compact pistol sparked at the SHOT Show in 2018 and has been burning brightly ever since.

The Sig Sauer P365 lives in our hearts, but not rent-free.
Love at first sight only goes so far, and Cinderella had to be put through her paces at the range before earning that #1 ranking on our 9 Best Concealed Carry Guns with the OG and new variants.

We’ve completed detailed reviews of our favorite upgrades and accessories for the P365, but what’s a concealed carry gun without a reliable holster?
Today, we’re going to discuss and evaluate the eight best holsters for the P365, including IWB, OWB, and some high-quality randos.

Inside Waistband (IWB) Holsters
1. Hidden Hybrid Holsters
You didn’t think we would complete a list without including our favorite P365 option from Hidden Hybrid Holsters, did you?

For shame.
We’re long-time fans of this company and could probably write a detailed review dedicated to their holsters. Oh wait, we did: Hidden Hybrid Holsters: Current Favorite.

And when we say “favorite,” we mean favorite.
Hidden Hybrid Holsters are stylish, comfortable, and constructed with .093” Kydex and Amish leather (thanks, bros) to ensure a lifetime of secure retention and durability.

The company sells an excellent concealed carry option for the P365, the Sig Sauer P365 and SAS Appendix Carry.
This comes in as a little pricey, but totally worth the hole in your wallet. You can adjust for height, retentions, cant, and all that important stuff that turns a functional holster into an effective and reliable holster.
And yes, we know the name isn’t very creative, but you’ll always know what you’re buying. Literally.
It’s what our founder wore for his P365 before he went to the P365 XL (still with a HHH holster, though).

The combination of Kydex and Amish leather results in a holster that is borderline unbreakable but still molds to your body to achieve optimal concealability.
On that note, we recommend adding the “Claw Concealment” option when you place your order. It pushes the grip of the gun closer to your body and eliminates any noticeable printing. It’s also easy to remove if you don’t end up loving it.

The leather backer is specifically cut to facilitate a proper full grip when drawing your P365.
Although it’s sold for both right- and left-handed shooters, it’s not for the ambidextrous—you’ll have to purchase two if you want to arm both your hips.
You also need to decide if you want to include a 1.5” or 1.75” belt clip before checking out. It’s a critical part of the holster that allows you to tuck in your shirt while staying armed, stealthy, and awesome.

This holster incorporates a covered magazine release to give you extra security while you’re carrying.

It also comes with a Kydex “RMR Guard” to protect your optic devices if you go with that option.
Want something a little more “you?” You can personalize your holster by selecting different Kydex colors, including black carbon fiber, flat dark earth, storm gray carbon fiber, and more.

One last thing…it also works for the SAS and X versions!

What’s your take on the HHH P365 Appendix holster? Give it a rating below.
If the Sig Sauer P365 and SAS AIWB aren’t quite what you’re looking for, the company also sells an OWB option, holsters for the P365 XL, and an IWB & OWB Double Clip combo for the P365.
All of these share nearly identical features to the P365 holster, including the claw option, but the Sig Sauer P365 and SAS IWB & OWB-Double Clip lets you carry inside the waistband with clips or outside the waistband by your belt loop.

2. Rounded Gear IWB Kydex Holster
Let’s kick things off with the Rounded Gear IWB Kydex Holster, one of the best-selling and most widely recommended holsters on the market. (Formerly known as Concealment Express.)

This holster boasts a minimalist design and is made of durable .08” Kydex.
When equipped, you can adjust the cant between -5 to 20° for comfort and to ensure concealability. It’s suitable for a variety of concealed carry positions, including appendix, hip, back, strong side, and cross-draw carry.
It’s also manufactured with an adjustable “posi-click” retention feature. If you hear a satisfying and audible click, then you know your gun has been properly holstered.

We love it for our larger guns. And if it works for a much larger Glock 19…it will do wonders with a tiny P365.
Here’s another fun little detail: This lightweight and low-profile holster weighs in at just 3 ounces. No joke. A deck of cards weighs more than this holster.

The Rounded Gear IWB Kydex Holster has an undercut trigger guard for total trigger coverage and easy drawing. It’s also designed with an overcut open face to allow for threaded barrels and suppressor height sights.
And I can’t forget to mention the full-length sweat guard with a rear sight shield. After all, it’s the combination of all these little details that make this holster so great.

And yes…we have a full review of everything Rounded Gear (since we’ve tried them all).

This IWB holster is available with a black or carbon finish and has black oxide steel hardware.
The company sells separate versions for left- and right-handed gun enthusiasts, so pay attention at checkout to make sure you’re purchasing the correct model.
If you’re still on the fence, keep in mind that it’s American-made and comes with a lifetime warranty!

But what if you’re going for maximum concealability?
Well, you’re in luck! You can reduce printing with the Claw Kit.
How does it work? The reversible claw attaches to your holster and pushes against the waistband to force the butt of your gun toward your body.

Concealment Express’s kit contains all the hardware you need and works with both right- and left-handed holsters.

3. Alien Gear ShapeShift Modular Holster System
The Alien Gear ShapeShift Modular Holster System is the Optimus Prime of the holster world.

I mean, what else do you expect from a company called Alien Gear Holsters?
This wonderfully nerdy holster allows you to utilize four different carry positions thanks to a removable shell that can be attached to various mounts and holster types.

I recommend trying the ShapeShift Core Carry Pack.
It’s a good starting foundation for the system and comes with an IWB holster, appendix carry holster, OWB paddle holster, OWB belt slide holster, and a mount for affixing your shell to a variety of surfaces.
And the best part is the price tag. You get all that holster goodness for little more than you’d pay for two rival options.

Alien Gear’s ShapeShift platform also encompasses pocket holsters, shoulder holsters, drop leg holsters, ankle holsters, car seats, MOLLE loops, and mounts for backpack straps (which also work on many other bags).
You can purchase these holsters with shells or in separate expansion packs. It’s a practical move by Alien Gear Holsters since you probably don’t need a new shell with every order.
That would completely defeat the point of the modular system, right?
But there’s a very cool reason why Alien Gear Holsters gives you so many opportunities to collect shells. I mean, the company even sells them individually, and not just as a replacement part.
You can use the same holsters and mounts for different guns just by swapping out the shells.
If that sparks joy (how could it not?), then the more shells, the merrier!

The shells sold by Alien Gear Holsters are slim and discreet to fulfill all your concealed carry needs.
They’re manufactured with an adjustable retention feature that allows you to maintain your preferred holster and mount settings. The shell will click once the gun is holstered properly and the retention system is engaged.

The shells, holsters, and mounts are primarily made from polymer for durability and resistance to heat and abrasion. All parts come with Alien Gear’s 30-Day Test Drive and Forever Warranty.
If you’d like to have multiple holster options available for your P365 or don’t want to have to buy the same type of holster for your firearms, then the Alien Gear ShapeShift Modular Holster System is for you.
It’s a great way to maximize the value of your dollar and makes switching between holsters as easy as one-two-three. Or four if you’re aiming for the Core Carry Pack.

4. Cytac Sig P365 OWB Holster with 360° Adjustable Paddle
Are you looking for a simple, budget-friendly OWB holster for your P365? Congrats, you’ve found it.
The Cytac Sig P365 OWB Holster is a paddle holster made out of lightweight polymer.
It doesn’t require a belt, but there are little notches on the paddle that fit a 1.5” to 2” belt should you choose to wear one. Otherwise, you can just secure it to your pants.
Cytac is another example of a company taking extra steps during the design process.
Because it’s made from polymer, this holster is durable, water-and-wear-resistant, and extremely easy to clean.
The paddle design naturally distributes the weight of your holstered gun, so you shouldn’t feel that awkward tug at your waistband.

While many IWB and OWB holsters use a friction fit for retention, this model employs an active retention system that initiates with a press of the index (trigger) finger on the release button.
Active retention systems often come with the downside of a much slower draw, but no worries here!
You shouldn’t have any problems performing a quick draw with the Cytac Sig P365 OWB Holster. Pressing the button as you draw from this holster feels very natural and intuitive.
Plus, the retention system automatically activates upon holstering, so you don’t have to remember to use it like you would a holster with a strap.

The only downside? This is another holster that’s only manufactured in a right-handed configuration.
Southpaws, check out my next pick instead!
5. Crossbreed DropSlide OWB Holster
The Crossbreed DropSlide OWB Holster is a high-quality, customizable hybrid holster for the P365.
True, it’s a more expensive option, but this company specializes in hybrid holsters and accessories that are a cut above the rest.
In an emergency situation, there can be no greater ally than the P365 hidden at your hip. The goal of concealed carry is to keep your firearm out of sight and out of mind until that emergency, so it’s no wonder that printing is one of the most common complaints with OWB holsters.
Fortunately, that isn’t an issue with the DropSlide.
It has two 1.75” slots to accommodate belts that are between 1.25” and 1.5.” The leather backer is specifically cut to keep the holster flush against your body, ensuring a comfortable concealed carry without any chafing.
Based on its design, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting a good grip when drawing your P365, even if you’re a larger-handed shooter.
Another bonus? The gun pocket is made from Kydex, so you can trust that your firearm is safe and protected when holstered.

The Crossbreed DropSlide OWB Holster is customizable as hell, and I love it.
Aside from the standard P365 configuration, you can also purchase models that come with lights, lasers, and micro red dots with suppressor height sights.
Did my heart just skip a beat?

This holster is available in black, flat dark earth, sniper grey, od green, or Tiffany blue Kydex and natural cowhide, black cowhide, founder’s, or horsehide leather.
You can even mix and match the Kydex and leather for a truly personalized holster.
Although the holster is not ambidextrous, all of these configurations are available for both left- and right-handed shooters. Finally, a win for the Southpaws!

There are no disadvantages to giving this holster a chance. Crossbreed offers a lifetime warranty and a “Two Week, Try it Free” guarantee.
Pocket Holster
6. DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster
The DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster is a great pocket holster that comes with all the features you need—including a great price!
The outside has a grippy texture that clings to the inside of your pocket to keep the holster securely in place, no matter how vigorously you move throughout the day.
Work, play, shopping, intentional or accidental exercise—sometimes you just need to move, and you don’t want to worry about your pocketed friend jostling around or making an inconvenient escape.

The inside of the holster is lined with a soft Slick Pack Cloth for a smooth, low-friction draw. Foam padding rests between the two linings to break up the outline of the firearm, preventing an obvious print.
This holster is slim, flexible, low profile, and sweatproof, making it both concealable and comfortable to equip.

Common Sense Warning: Some factors can impact how effective this holster is, including the type of clothes you’re wearing. Don’t expect a perfect fit if your pants or jacket have unusually spacious or tight-to-body pockets.
Sorry, ladies. One day, designers will learn the joys of functional pockets.

DeSantis also sells pocket holsters for other Sig Sauer P365 models, including the P365 SAS, the P365 XL, and even a P365 equipped with a FoxTrot 365 light.
Want more good news? The DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster is totally ambidextrous, and you can buy the DeSantis Mag Packer to keep a spare magazine handy in your other pocket.

Ankle Holster
7. DeSantis Die Hard Ankle Rig
Not a carry method we typically recommend, but if you need to ankle carry, our recommendation for the P365 is the DeSantis Die Hard Ankle Rig.
It’s a simple ankle holster that consists of a top-grain saddle leather gun pocket attached to a neoprene band. The gun pocket also has a conventional thumb break for retention.
But don’t let the simplicity of this design fool you. This ankle holster was originally manufactured for federal law enforcement agencies, and the combination of materials prioritizes performance and longevity.

The DeSantis Die Hard Ankle Rig is treated with an abrasion-resistant PU coating to ensure durability.
The leather lining preserves the gun’s finish and allows for a smooth, quick draw. Likewise, the band is foam-padded with sheepskin along the inside of the holster to deliver a comfortable concealed carry experience.
It’s intended to be worn on the inside of your ankle and opposite of your strong hand. For example, a left-handed shooter will purchase a left-handed holster for the right ankle and vice versa.

You can always affix a calf strap to the DeSantis Die Hard Ankle Rig, should you find yourself needing the extra support.
However, slipping usually isn’t an issue once you master how to properly position the holster — no judgment, trial and error is just part of the learning process!

I've got just enough middle age spread that carrying IWB just isn't comfortable, so I stuck with OWB. My favorite, DeSantis Mini Slide signature make the list, but there's so many holsters on the market, the author could do 30 or 40 articles trying to cover all of them.
JX tactical fat man is perfect for large dudes
How about holsters with a Crimson Trace Laser? And more optics? Please.
You should really give the Safariland Schema a try. I went through about 15 holsters as I went from an original P365 to a Zev P365XL. For AIWB, the Schema is low profile and now my go-to holster. I still have the others including some OWB's, but the Schema is my go-to 99% of the time.
How about holsters for P365 for lasers such as Crimson Trace and for optics? I see only one fro an optic.
I’ve tried about 15 different holsters before settling on the CYA Supply Co. IWB. It’s less bulky than the Concealment Express with all of the same features.
Cole:
I have also found the CYA Supply Co. IWB to be less bulky than the Concealment Express holsters. Plus, they are more comfortable for me than the Concealment Express holsters, just seem to hit the 'sweet spot' just right for my carry position.
Tenicor holsters blow all other IWB/AIWB holsters away.
Anyone see the price of the Hidden hybrids? LMAO! These people must think their holster is gonna s**k and f**k you. $132 hard earned Biden administration dollars for a holster with slightly upgraded belt clips and the cut out for the Romeo Zero Red Dot on the p365x. What a bunch of muppets.
Can we talk about the 83 inch waist on the jeans in the 2nd pic under holster #2 (the kidney carry one)?
You're a typical Pew Pew writer. Your article is informative and hilarious. Great job!
Check out the one by Raven. It's a minimalist trigger guard holster combo. Works really well for smaller people like myself that print really easily.
I've been looking for a P365 XL holster with both a rail mounted light AND optics (specifically TLR-6 and Holosun 407k), but can't seem to find one anywhere. Have you guys found anyone out there?
The Recluse holster, specifically the OS Solo, is absolutely the best minimalist holster for my case which is to make sure my family isn't gunned down in a movie theater or church. So in other words, firing under cover or while running my family out of a building. Sad but true.
I front pocket carry so it needs to print like a phone.
I don't dress for my gun, and wear my shirts tucked.
I've tried the kydex alabama holster and sticky holsters, and the Recluse takes up less room in the pocket, and is much quicker on the draw due to the design.
I need to qualify at the range with my sig P365. But I can’t use a paddle holster. Any recommendations?
Leather type thumb break scabbard/pancake.
Look for the Galco "Combat Master" for OTW holster. Your choice of tan or black leather. Has a special kind of sewing of the seams that pull the pistol closer to your hip to improve concealed carry. Eliminates imprinting of the firearm.
Great info but the gifs are more distracting than anything.
I wear slacks - no belt or a dress to work.
I need options. Not everyone wears jeans and a heavy belt all day. What about the working woman professional?
Same deal here for a dude- have to wear slacks and dress shirt, but would love to cc the 380 version for weight and reduced recoil. Pocket carry feasible?
It is frustrating that this article is not consistent in telling you the ideal or intended positions for these. Some of the reviews mention that it is good for appendix and hip, while others say nothing about position. Just wish this was more clear.
Searching for an OWB holster for a sig sauer p365XL with lima laser. Any assistance will be appreciated.
Concealment Express IWB KYDEX Holster. Will it work with the P365 that has the manual thumb safety?
Because the thumb safety is in-line with the slide catch and take-down levers, I'm going to go with "Yes sirree, Bob". But I haven't actually tried it.
Hey, I forgot to mention Sig's own holster. It has some options of how it hangs, using swivel-able belt loops. The loops accommodate my 1.75" belt. I love the holster feel. The only down side is the loops' hinges are polymer and snap into recesses. I get the feeling these will wear out or simply give way one day at the worst time.
I'm interested in some of these, including light capable options.
I did want to mention Galco's Ankle Guard holster. I've been wearing it above my boot for 6 months daily, and it still does a nice job, comfortable, and I rarely notice it. The retention is iffy though. Tension screws at bottom keep it in place, but I've had a dislodge on a heavy run. Thanks again for the ideas.
I love my hidden hybrid holsters.... except for the in the waistband clips. They’re too flimsy
The Tenicor Velo for the P365 is amazing if you’re dedicated to AIWB. If it’s too pricey or you’re not sure about AIWB, I would check out the Vedder LightTuck.
Tier 1 concealment also have the T1M with their wedge system which is an excellent minimal system that’s comfortable for all day AIWB and conceals well with the built in claw.
Tulster Profile IWB holster. Everything the Concealment Express offers, but even smaller, lighter, more comfortable. Where the Concealment Express has two retention screws, Tulster has one. Concealment Express has angular edges, Tulster rounded the edges so there's less dig into your stomach and thigh when sitting or moving. Tulster also offers a much smaller profile claw kit (they call it "sidekick") than Concealment Express. Check it out.
Any suggestion on which would be best for a dad bod that leans more heavily toward the sad end of the spectrum?
Looking to minimize printing as much as possible, but am never quite comfortable with appendix or hip.
Taking AIWB and hip out of the equation is gonna pretty much leave you with small of back or pocket carry. Both work well with the P365. Check out the Vedder pocket locker for pocket carry or several of their other offerings for small of back (or hip) which is still comfortable
If pocket carry is a desired method the Vedder Pocket Locker is an excellent option. Kydex with solid retention, but plenty comfortable and a great claw for clean draws
