A firearms carry device featuring a broad, contoured attachment (the “paddle”) designed to be inserted inside the wearer’s waistband, securing the firearm externally. The paddle’s shape conforms to the body, providing a stable and relatively comfortable platform for carrying a handgun. For example, law enforcement officers or civilians may utilize this type of holster for open or concealed carry, depending on regulations and personal preference.
The advantage of this carry method lies in its ease of donning and doffing without requiring belt disassembly. This feature is particularly useful in situations requiring frequent removal or re-holstering of the weapon. Historically, these devices offered a practical alternative to belt-loop or other fixed-position holsters, enhancing convenience and adaptability for users in various operational environments.
