Barsony Holsters Brown Leather Inside The Waistband

Materials — This first choice from Barsony is simply designed and budget friendly. It’s an inside the waistband compact holster that is made entirely of premium cowhide leather. It can be purchased for left handed or right handed shooters, and it’s available in black, dark brown, burgundy, or natural tan. The basic design allows the gunowner to wear the holster strongside or at the small of the back. There is precision stitching throughout. The leather has been reinforced along the entire exterior edge, and there is additional reinforcement at the opening of the holster to smoothly guide your weapon as you draw. There is a single, standard metal belt clip for attachment to the waistband.

Performance — We normally steer away from holsters such as this. They’re pretty basic; however, for something like the 75 Compact, a soft leather IWB holster like this one from Barsony works perfectly fine! The weapon is small enough that it doesn’t make the single belt clip ineffective. You may even prefer this style over others because it’s so easy to conceal! With this in mind, there’s no sweat guard. The leather is comfortable against the body, but your pistol grip might not be. Wearing an undershirt or an extra t-shirt can help eliminate any discomfort.

What we say — This would be the best CZ 75 Compact holster for individuals with a small budget for a holster or those with smaller body frames. You shouldn’t feel much discomfort if your clothes and waistline fit you comfortably!

MASC Holster Leather Pancake Holster

Materials — The outside the waistband pancake holster from MASC is available as a right handed draw holster in tan. However, you can find this popular choice for left handed draws or in black from other sellers. The premium leather has been molded to the shape of your weapon, and it gets additional retention from the two belt loops. Simply tighten your belt to improve the carry height and increase the retention on your CZ 75 Compact. There is double stitching for additional reinforcement around both belt loops as well as along the barrel and at the trigger guard. Inside the holster is some additional space along the rail to protect both the pistol and the interior of the leather. MASC has avoided any thumb breaks to allow for a fast, smooth draw.

Performance — Yes, we chose a tan pancake holster over seeking out a black one. If you do a little searching, you can easily find black pancake holsters to accommodate your CZ 75 Compact. Since this pistol is smaller than a full-sized handgun, you can get away with relying on retention from your belt and the leather’s molding. A thumb break may not be totally necessary. Unfortunately, you don’t get the option of wearing this with a forward cant. As long as you’re comfortable with a straight draw that’s a little high up on the hip, you should be able to pull your weapon free quickly and swiftly!

What we say — This is the best CZ 75 Compact holster for shooters who bring their pistol out to the range and also need conceal carry. It’s a great holster to accompany your target practice, you can still throw a thick shirt or jacket over the holster for concealment.

CZ 75 Compact 9mm Leather IWB Concealed Carry Holster

Materials — This holster is made from full-grain leather as its main material. Its premium leather is made to keep the natural look, with all the wrinkles and wear and tear marks from the raw leather hide. Since it’s an IWB, it could fit belts measuring up to 1 and ¾ inches in width. Also, an equipped steel belt clip tucks the holster well inside your waistband. Depending on hand preference, shooters can pick between right- and left-handed versions. Black and brown colors are also available to choose from when buying. To ensure quality, OUTBAGS USA either hand-stitches or machine sews this holster. The sewn nylon thread also adds to this holster’s premium structure.

Performance — Though simplistic in design, the Carry Holster is still appealing to the eye. The holster’s shape allows it to take CZ 75 Compact Pistols well. Not only that; it can also accept custom handgun models like a boss. Given its shape, you’ll have little difficulties putting this holster on. With the American traditional forming process, it can fit other handguns with ease. This, of course, is an edge for our CZ 75 pistol baddie. To add, its size and shape let you conceal it under your pants with fewer complications. Still, the holster’s open-muzzle could place the wearer at risk of shooting his holstered gun by accident. You can prevent this by pressing your gun’s locking mechanism, putting the trigger pull on hold.

What we say — This is the best CZ 75 compact holster for concealment and self-defense. With its wide shape and open muzzle design, doing quick gun draws becomes smooth like butter. Besides CZ 75 pistols, it could also hold other handguns with little to no issues. For body structure, this holster suits users with broad waistlines and tall stature. When clipped well to your belt, you won’t feel this holster slipping inside your waistband while you move. 

Vedder Holsters LightTuck IWB Kydex Holster

Materials — Vedder offers its own kydex inside the waistband holster, which is significantly more low profile and discrete that the previous option. It is not a hybrid holster, so the entire product is made with ultra thin kydex. It has been molded slightly to retain your pistol, and there is a retention screw at the trigger guard. A single metal belt clip is attached with two adjustable screws. The wearer can choose between their preferred ride height and cant angle. The other side of the holster features a sweat guard, so your CZ 75 Compact is protected during use. This product is only available in all black for a discrete appearance. Vedder Holsters provides a 30 day money back guarantee as well as a lifetime warranty.

Performance — Forget about leather! Maybe you’re all about the kydex. If you want something that will be more resistant to bumps and bangs than leather, look no further than this ultra discrete 100% kydex IWB holster. It even has a sweat guard! It may not be as large as the sweat guard on the hybrid holster, but it’s just enough to get the job done. You get that little bit of versatility in carry angle as well. There is some give and take with the comfort level. On one hand, kydex is incredibly thin, so it won’t create a bunch of bulk inside your waistline (also making it ideal for inside the waistband carrying). On the other hand, it’s not soft like leather, so you may have to do a little adjusting for it to sit in just the right spot on your hip.

What we say — This will be the best CZ 75 Compact holster for those who want to avoid scratch-prone leather and care much more about protecting their pistol than an appealing appearance. This holster is very low profile — perfect for concealed carry.

Our Favorite CZ 75 Compact Holster

This was a tough decision, but we chose the CZ 75 Compact 9mm Leather IWB Concealed Carry Holster as our favorite holster for the CZ 75 Compact. Italian leather did it for us. You also get perfect retention without slowing down the speed of your draw. However, all of these holsters will keep your CZ 75 safe and sound. What is your favorite holster for the C75?
