Quick answer

Set up your MSP OWB Quick Ship holster by mounting it on a sturdy belt, adjusting the retention and cant to your preference, and practicing your draw for a smooth, consistent presentation.

Why the MSP OWB Quick Ship works for range and carry

The MSP OWB Quick Ship is a black-only version of the Modern Samurai Project universal holster, designed to fit multiple firearm platforms with one holster. Its outside-waist-band configuration offers a secure, accessible position for range sessions or concealed carry under a cover garment.

Because it's a quick-ship model, you get the same MSP reliability without the wait for custom colors. The trade-off is that you're limited to black, but for most users that's a non-issue.

MSP OWB Setup and Carry Steps

  1. Mount the holster on your belt: Thread your belt through the belt loops of the MSP OWB. Position the holster at your strong-side hip, typically between 3 and 4 o'clock for right-handed shooters. The holster should sit high enough that the grip of your firearm is above the belt line for a clean draw. A common mistake is mounting too far forward or too low, which can cause the grip to dig into your side.
  2. Adjust retention to your preference: Use the retention screws on the holster body to increase or decrease the tension. Start with a snug fit that holds the firearm securely but allows a smooth draw without excessive force. Test by holstering and drawing a few times. Over-tightening can make the draw difficult and slow; under-tightening risks the firearm shifting during movement.
  3. Set the cant angle: The MSP OWB allows you to adjust the cant using the mounting hardware. A slight forward cant (about 10-15 degrees) helps conceal the grip and speeds up the draw. Loosen the screws, tilt the holster forward, and retighten evenly. Too much forward cant can cause the muzzle to print; too little can make the grip stick out.
  4. Practice your draw and reholster: With an unloaded firearm, practice drawing from the holster and reholstering slowly. Focus on a consistent grip and a straight upward motion. The MSP OWB's universal design means you may need to adjust your draw slightly if switching between platforms. Rushing the draw can lead to snagging the trigger guard or misaligning the muzzle with the holster mouth.
  5. Choose your carry position and cover garment: For concealed carry, the OWB works best under an untucked shirt, jacket, or vest. Position the holster so the grip is covered but accessible. For range use, any sturdy belt works and you can mount it at a more natural draw position. A flimsy belt will cause the holster to sag; use a rigid gun belt for consistent retention and comfort.
