Default How do you store your holsters?

So every pistol I own gets a holster, the ones in primary rotation get two (1- IWB, 1- OWB). At this point I am swimming in holsters, and I'm starting to wonder how to store/organize them.

What do you folks do?

I use the plastic storage drawers that fit under my bed. I have three: one for kydex semiautos, one for leather semiautos, and one for revolvers. Another set of drawers for mag and speedloader pouches.

Just wondering; do you store them in the plastic bags they came in or not?

My wife was selling 31 bags a while back. Now I have 3 on top my safe. One for cleaning supplies, one for holsters, and the other for slings and odds and ends. She bought them expressly for my gear to get rid of the cardboard boxes that I had before. I'm not complaining they have handles and do what I need them to do.

In small plastic bins for each firearm/series of firearms that it fits. Then all the bins in a bigger container. If you want to save money just get some 2 gallon Ziplock bags and one large plastic container

We have a spare chest of drawers. It's got 5 drawers. I keep holsters in one of them.

I just toss them in a large cardboard box when they aren't being used. But most of mine are kydex so it isn't like you can really hurt them. My biggest issue was I have duplicates of several of them but for different guns and I hated having to look at them closely to tell which pistol they fit. I finally decided to use a silver Sharpie and mark them on the back side for easy identification.

I have two old fashioned steel four drawer file cabinets in my office

Bought them for $25 each when a company was switching to the newer lateral style cabinets
