shoulder holsters

Everyone who carries a firearm needs a reliable and accessible way to conceal their weapon. Traditional gun holsters are a practical option, but they often leave the gun visible to the public. For people who need to keep their weapon concealed, such as undercover cops, a more discreet option is needed.

From my research watching numerous movies and television shows with undercover agents, I’ve observed that shoulder holsters are the holder of choice. These carriers are well-concealed, but still leave the firearm easily accessible. Most models will even carry two handguns at a time.

 While uniform policemen most often carry their firearms at their belts, most non uniform policemen prefer to use a shoulder rig to carry their firearm.  Shoulder holsters allow for a firearm to remain concealed and also allow for the law enforcement officer to move around with ease.  With their adjustable straps, shoulder holsters are excellent for wearing over lightweight garments.  In addition, a shoulder holster provides quick access to the firearm should it be needed. 

For law enforcement wearing a sport jacket or blazer, a shoulder rig is the best way to carry a fire arm.  In addition, an ankle holster can be used to hold a secondary firearm under the pant leg.
