I have 3 different holsters for my main carry gun. About a half dozen others that I have bought, some of which fit more than one gun, and 3 or 4 that came with the guns as part of a kit, like my XDm 45. But no way do I have one for every gun, and I'm cool with that.

I have multiple holsters for my cary guns. Mostly due to trying to figure out
what works (iwb/owb). My larger range guns I just keep in cases.

Working on it. I wanted the same holster for all three of my revolvers, finally settled on a design that works for all of them and is versatile enough for me.

Yep, and most all of them are of the open top, Tom Threepersons type. I make them myself, and tight enough that no strap or thong is necessary but with a smooth draw for CCW when desired.
That said, I do treasure those few short barreled pieces that will fit in the rear pocket of my jeans for short strolls around the farm. Good leather is very hard to beat, but I have found that Kydex makes for a very smooth and secure barn for your carry piece. I have also noticed that it wears the blued finish on my 1911's about 4x faster than leather. In Kydex, I particularly like Blade Teck's models which do not have a 2ndary retainer...but then I'm a civilian and do not have to comply with LEO departmental policies. HTH's Rod

I have the open carry/field carry type holsters for most of my pistols. Except for my BlackHawk 45 Colt, it's a shoulder holster, and I have an IWB for the XDm.

Simple answer, yes. Although my "pocket" pistols only have "pocket" holsters, for the most part. The exception is the Kel-tec .32; I just keep that sucker in the little soft case and put it in my cargo pocket.
The guns that have, at one time or another, served as my primary EDC usually have a serious quality leather holster of the Galco or Bianchi flavor, and a quick-to-don paddle holster like a Fobus or Blackhawk, since they tend to ride in the truck console anyway. |

People make all kinds of excuses but bottom line is that if you have a firearm, you need a holster.. that's just my opinion. Yep, I have a holster for every one that I own.

I have holsters for the guns I carry or might reasonably be expected to carry. Other than that, the only reasons I would have a holster for a pistol would be if the gun came with one or if I happened across a deal so good I couldn't pass on it.

I have holsters for all my 1911s and 2011s. In several cases more than one as I've tried different styles. The only guns that don't have holsters are my Ruger Mark III and my two Ruger revolvers, a Super Blackhawk and a Redhawk (both scoped).

I have purchased holsters only for those handguns I carry or thought I would carry. Some of those fit guns that I'm not going to actually carry; e.g., a SW K-frame holster that will fit K-frames I have but don't plan on carrying. In fact I have a cheapie shoulder rig that has two different sized, nylon and velcro pouch type holsters that fit all my handguns except one. I never wear it. I keep it as a reminder of sometimes "you get what your pay for."

No I don't have a holster for all of my guns, its really tough finding one for my mosin nagant .
I only have one pistol right now, which I have a holster for. When I acquire more pistols in the future I plan on having a holster for each.

I normally have a couple boxes of holsters, and can find something to fit everything I own ( quite a few).

With nearly 60 different handguns, I have a holster for each gun. The exception being that my 1911's pretty much fit the same holster for the same barrel length.
Like most everyone else, I have a draw full of holsters that fall into the category of "what the heck was I thinking."

Do you have holsters for all your guns?
Curious as to why you say people make excuses. What is your reason for saying you need one for everyone gun. Why would I need one for, say a full lug 6" 22lr revolver? Nothing but a range toy

Yes and several spares. Concealed and open holsters for my faves.

Only for guns I use for CCW, hunting, or C&R milsurps that included a holster.
No need to have a holster for range toys.

Yes.
I don't have any "range guns." I shoot the ones I carry at the range also. Jerry
