A major key factor to a good holster is retention. One should always keep your gun in place all the time despite any sudden actions or movements that you do such as running or jumping for example. A good one has good retention capabilities.

You should buy one with the aim of keeping it long enough to hand it down later on. Quality may cost a bit more, but is definitely much more worth it. Always put quality side by side with functionality.

And as a final piece of advice, it may be good to get one that is fully customized to your needs. A customized one will answer all the attributes necessary in a good holster and thus will save you time in searching for one in the market.
