A Byrna launcher is shaped like a pistol and carried like one, and it deserves a holster that covers the trigger and holds it by shape, not a nylon pouch. We make molded kydex holsters for every handheld Byrna, and because the SD, LE and CL are three different sizes, each one gets its own mold. This guide matches each model to its holster and explains the CL's two extra carry options.
Byrna SD and EP
IWB Holster for the Byrna SD / EP
The SD and EP share a frame, so one holster fits both. It is molded in .08-inch kydex with an audible click, a full-length sweat shield, folded edges, a belt clip that cants 20 degrees either way, adjustable retention, right or left hand, handmade in the U.S.A. by a military veteran, lifetime guarantee, $44.99.
Byrna LE
IWB Holster for the Byrna LE
The LE is the same platform as the SD with a different frame profile and does not fit the SD holster. Its own mold, same construction, $44.99.
Byrna CL
IWB/OWB Kydex Holster for the Byrna CL, Ambidextrous, RMR Optic Compatible
The compact launcher's full holster: molded .08-inch kydex that wears inside or outside the waistband, configures for right- or left-hand draw, and has a channel cut for an RMR-style red dot so you do not have to choose between the optic and the holster. Handmade in the U.S.A., $44.99.
Trigger-Guard IWB Holster for the Byrna CL
The minimalist option: a kydex shell that locks around the trigger guard only, with a reversible 1.5-inch tuckable belt clip. Slimmest possible carry, covers the trigger, and lets you tuck a shirt over it. $29.99.
CL-Qlip Stainless Steel IWB Belt Clip
Not a holster: a stainless steel clip that bolts to the CL's optic mounting cover, so the launcher itself clips inside the waistband with nothing else. The lowest-profile carry there is, for a CL without a red dot. Right- or left-handed, $24.99.
Which holster

Carrying a Byrna
Same as a pistol: IWB at 3 to 4 o'clock or appendix, trigger covered, under an untucked shirt. The full guide is at how to conceal carry a Byrna. Protect the spare magazine with a mag cover.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Byrna SD holster fit the LE?
No. Each has its own mold.
Does the CL holster fit with a red dot?
The full CL holster does. The CL-Qlip does not; it mounts where the optic goes.
Can I carry a Byrna OWB?
The CL holster wears IWB or OWB. The SD and LE holsters are IWB.
Left-handed?
Yes, all of them.
Is a Byrna holster the same as a pistol holster?
Same construction and purpose, molded to the launcher instead of a pistol.
The bottom line
Match the holster to the model: SD/EP, LE, or CL. All molded, all cover the trigger, all guaranteed for life.
