Versacarry Crusader Holster

New from Versacarry for 2025 is a new holster designed for outside-the-waistband (OWB) carry. Although it's certainly possible to conceal a fiream in an OWB (a roomy cover garment will do the trick), the new Crusader line of holsters looks so nice that many users will want to open carry. With timeless craftsmanship with practical functionality, these holsters are entirely made in the USA from a decidedly exotic leather: premium water buffalo. 

A quick note on that leather is in order. Water buffalo and American bison are two separate species, but both provide a much thicker, tougher leather than cowhide. This means better durability over time.

The Crusader holster line comes in two style options. There's the Crusader Arc Angel, which is pictured above, and the Classic Crusader that does not feature the crucifix styling. Both offer a sleek, minimalist design to maximize all-day comfort. With a double-ply leather backing, the holster ensures the firearm stays off the user’s body during extended wear. With its forward cant, the holster is designed for smooth, easy, and quick draws.

For a secure hold, the Crusader features two robust leather belt loops, ensuring reliable attachment to your belt. It's custom-molded to fit a wide variety of the most popular carry guns, including: the Glock 19 and 43; the SIG SAUER P320, P365XL, and P365 Macro; Springfield Armory Hellcat and Hellcat Pro; and the Smith & Wesson Shield in both 9mm and .40 S&W. 

"At Versacarry, we take pride in crafting holsters that not only perform but also embody the durability and beauty of premium materials," said Justin Sitz, CEO of Versacarry. "The Crusader holster reflects our dedication to quality, comfort, and functionality." The MSRP is $114.99, but the holster is on sale at the time of this writing for $67.99; Versacarry.com.
