Best OWB Holster for Glock 26, 27, and 33 – Comfort Meets Performance
Posted by STS Concealment on Apr 24th 2026
When it comes to compact concealed carry pistols, the Glock 26, 27, and 33 have built a reputation for reliability, versatility, and performance. Whether you're carrying 9mm, .40 S&W, or .357 SIG, choosing the right holster is critical to getting the most out of your everyday carry setup.
Why the Glock 26 / 27 / 33 Are Popular for Carry
Glock’s subcompact lineup offers the perfect balance between concealability and firepower. With a shorter grip and barrel, these models are easier to conceal while still maintaining excellent capacity and shootability. That makes them a top choice for both new and experienced carriers.
Why Choose an OWB Paddle Holster?
While many people default to IWB carry, an OWB paddle holster offers several advantages:
- Faster, more natural draw
- Increased comfort for all-day wear
- Easy on/off capability without removing your belt
- Ideal for range use, training, or open carry situations
For Glock subcompact models, an OWB paddle holster provides a comfortable and stable platform without adding unnecessary bulk.
