Wearing your pistol at your hip means you’ll have to find something that will refrain from sliding around, prevent your weapon from rocking back and forth, and distribute friction evenly.

Now, let’s discuss each of the best Ruger SR22 holsters on our list.

The Best Ruger SR22 Holsters

R&R Ruger – IWB KYDEX Holster

Materials – The R&R Ruger – IWB KYDEX Holster is handcrafted in the USA and made out of Kydex holster, a lightweight material. R&R Ruger features a field-tested .08-inch Kydex material proven to be extremely durable in a variety of conditions. In terms of retention and fit, this product is excellent. In addition, it is one of the most effective holsters available on the market, having the perfect combination of grasping the weapon securely and drawing it fast. It’s also designed for maximum performance and comfort.

Performance – This holster does an excellent job as law enforcement professionals often use it. Another great feature of this holster is the adjustable cant (0-15 degrees) and adjustable retention. This compact and affordable holster also enables you to take it anywhere from appendix to a 4-5 o’clock carry.

What we say – The R&R Ruger – IWB KYDEX Holster for Ruger SR22 costs about $39 online. It is a good investment because it provides comfort, good retention, and high build quality. Overall, the holster will provide you with whatever purpose you need.

Pro Carry SR22 Leather Gun Holster

Materials – The Pro Carry SR22 Leather Gun Holster is a black, all-leather, inside the waistband holster. All of its leather components are soft and slightly flexible, yet still, act as a protective barrier. There is stitching for reinforcement sewn into three places: at the trigger guard, at the belt clip, and at the top of the holster. The stitching at the top of the holster is great for guiding your Ruger SR22 while drawing and reholstering. Additionally, it has a metal belt clip, which is the same clip used on Pro Carry’s HD Holsters. This Pro Carry SR22 Leather Gun Holster features a right-handed shooter design.

Performance – The Pro Carry SR22 Leather Gun Holster is an excellent option for beginners to concealed carry holsters. The softer and more pliable leather is perfect for wearing throughout the day or while moving from sitting and standing positions. In addition, the reinforced stitching does a great job of keeping your compact pistol well in place during activities. While Pro Carry offers excellent products, don’t expect this holster to last you a lifetime. You’re likely to experience some wear and tear down the road.

What we say – The Pro Carry SR22 Leather Gun Holster costs around $24.95 online, which is very affordable. It’s comfortable and is a great Ruger SR22 Holster for concealed carry owners who go about normal daily activities.

Fobus Evolution Paddle Holster Ruger SR22

Materials – The Fobus Evolution Paddle Holster for Ruger SR22 is an all-black, outside of the waistband holster made of 100% Kydex polymer. The entire structure is incredibly secure as the holster attaches itself to a wide paddle with three screws. The rubberized back paddle adds a little flexibility and comfort while you’re wearing it against the body. In addition, the paddle has a texture to aid in gripping the pant waist. Moreover, this holster comes with a retention screw for making adjustments and offers right-handed or left-handed options.

Performance – The Kydex polymer construction is far more protective than soft leather. I really like the wide back paddle that evenly distributes pressure and friction across the wearer’s waist. Additionally, the gripping texture on the paddle keeps the holster from sliding back and forth. I know that this is an OWB holster, but I do wish the design could be more discrete. However, this is a very secure and stable holster for your Ruger SR22. If you’re not a fan of inside the waistband carry, then the outside-the-waistband design of the Fobus Evolution is a good option to consider.

What we say – The Fobus Evolution Paddle Holster for Ruger SR22 costs a little under $30 for both the right-hand and left-handed models. That is a pleasant surprise, considering many other manufacturers tend to charge a little more for left-handed holsters.

NT Hybrid Black Carbon Fiber IWB Holster

Materials – The Outlaw Holsters NT Hybrid Black Carbon Fiber IWB Holster outfits itself with a combination of leather and Kydex. It’s bolted by six screws against a soft leather back panel, which creates a barrier between the wearer’s body and the entire length of their handgun. A single, polymer clip secures the IWB holster to your belt, and the holster sits at an angled cant. The Outlaw Holsters NT Hybrid Black Carbon Fiber IWB Holster has options for over 150 different handguns. You can also purchase it for left-handed or right-handed shooters.

Performance – The Outlaw Holsters NT Hybrid Black Carbon Fiber IWB Holster is a molded holster for smaller caliber pistols, as we wouldn’t want your concealed carry to rock back and forth. The leatherback panel will evenly distribute weight and friction. Additionally, the texture of leather also aids in gripping against the body to keep everything stable. They’re inexpensive enough that you can have one for your Ruger, your Glock, and your Smith & Wesson! We would say that despite being made of a thin Kydex material, this holster is pretty wide. We don’t expect the wearer to be able to go through all of their daily activities while wearing this option.

What we say – The Outlaw Holsters NT Hybrid Black Carbon Fiber IWB Holster costs about $35 online, which is a great cost for everything it has to offer. You should find this IWB holster to be very comfortable during wear.

Barsony Brown Leather IWB Holster + Magazine Pouch

Materials – The Barsony Brown Leather IWB Holster + Magazine Pouch is a pretty descriptive name that implies the main features of this option. The holster and pouch are both made of premium cowhide leather. In addition, it has reinforced stitching around the edges of the magazine pouch, as well as at the holster’s trigger guard, belt clip, and top opening. There are two metal clips: one for the holster and one for the IWB magazine pouch. Hence, you can wear the holster on one side and the pouch on the other. The Barsony Brown Leather IWB Holster + Magazine Pouch is available for right-handed or left-handed shooters.

Performance – The Barsony Brown Leather IWB Holster + Magazine Pouch, at first impression, is a very good-looking set. The faded brown leather is very appealing and relaxing to the eye, and the texture feels comfortable in the hands too. Although you have to purchase the holster for your dominant side, the magazine pouch can be worn essentially anywhere on the waistline. The reinforced stitching on both components is a nice touch and provides an extra level of security.

What we say – The Barsony Brown Leather IWB Holster + Magazine Pouch costs just a few dollars below $50 online, which is quite expensive. While it is a very good holster that we recommend to almost anyone, it has to be worth the price to the buyer.

Our Favorite Ruger SR22 Holster

Our top pick for the best Ruger SR22 holster goes to the R&R Ruger – IWB KYDEX Holster. With a compact pistol, such as the Ruger SR22, I think it is highly uncommon to want to show it off in an outside-the-waistband holster. Generally speaking, if you own a small-caliber pistol, you likely want to keep it out of sight you need it. The R&R Ruger IWB Kydex Holster is made of durable Kydex polymer, and the wider back panel is the solution to uncomfortable materials riding against the torso. With its affordable price, you get your money’s worth and its outstanding features.
