3 Reasons Why a Leather Shoulder Holster is the Best Choice for You
In law enforcement and security, wearing a handgun on your hip can be unsafe or impractical. You can’t draw it quickly, it interferes with sitting down or working in small spaces, and you run the risk of the gun being seen by others. For these reasons, many police officers and security guards choose to wear shoulder holsters instead of traditional gun belts. A shoulder holster allows you to access your firearm quickly and easily, even in environments where it might not be appropriate to have a gun on your belt. Here are three reasons why you should also consider choosing a shoulder holster as your carry method of choice.
1. A leather shoulder holster can be adjusted
The shoulder holster can be adjusted to fit snugly on your body. If you need to move around or even run, it won’t loosen up on you. It’s comfortable and very convenient in any weather condition. Leather gun holsters are popular because they are reliable, convenient and adjustable. The holster will always have your back. Now that’s a friend!
2. A leather shoulder holster distributes weight well
If you’re like most people, you have to wear your gun shoulder holster every day. A leather shoulder holster distributes weight well and makes it easier to wear your gun all day long. It’s also an easy way to make sure that nobody will spot your gun under your clothes. Leather holsters are made from top-quality materials: When choosing between a leather or nylon gun holster, it’s important to consider where and how you plan on using it. Many holsters feature different benefits depending on their material; some might be comfortable but bulky while others can feel uncomfortable or make it difficult to draw quickly. We recommend finding a quality leather shoulder holster so that nothing stands in between you and instant access to your weapon should you need it!
3. A leather shoulder holster allows easy access while sitting down
Though leather shoulder holsters are associated with detectives and law enforcement officers, civilians often turn to them as well. When you wear a leather shoulder holster, your gun sits tightly against your chest in an easy-to-reach position. This means you can draw it quickly and keep yourself safe at all times. Leather shoulder holsters are also more comfortable than alternatives like thigh holsters—meaning you won’t have to worry about adding extra weight to your upper body during long days on-duty or off. They’re comfortable even during extended periods of sitting down, which makes them ideal for police officers and detectives who need quick access to their weapon in their cars or when they’re seated at a desk all day.
