Etymology

The word 'holster' originates from the Middle Dutch word 'holster', which referred to a leather case or pouch used to carry a firearm. This term was adapted into English in the 16th century and began to appear in texts discussing firearms. The process of holstering as we know it today became formalized alongside the development and popularization of handguns. Various forms of holsters have evolved over time, featuring designs that cater to specific needs, whether for military, law enforcement, or civilian use. As firearms technology progressed, so did the need for secure and practical ways to carry them, leading to the diversification of holster types, such as ankle holsters and shoulder holsters. Today, holstering is an essential aspect of firearm safety training and responsible ownership, reflecting the ongoing evolution of gun culture and regulation.
