Shoulder holsters carry the firearm under the arm, distributing the weight across the shoulders. This method of carry is useful for those who need to sit for long periods or for those who want to carry a larger firearm discreetly. Shoulder holsters offer a unique balance of accessibility and concealment.
These holsters usually come with adjustable straps to fit different body sizes and preferences. They are often used by detectives and plainclothes officers due to their ability to conceal larger handguns effectively while ensuring they are still easily accessible.
