What is a Shoulder Holster?
A shoulder gun holster is a type of holster worn under the arm to securely hold your firearm while allowing for quick access. There are shoulder holsters for revolvers and pistols.
When choosing a concealed carry holster, shoulder gun holsters are ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed carry style, allowing for easy access to your firearm without the need to tuck it away in your waistband. They offer a comfortable way to carry a pistol, especially when sitting or driving. On the other hand, IWB holsters offer superior concealment, sitting snugly against your body, making them less noticeable and a great choice for everyday wear.
If you want a shoulder holster for your 9mm CCW, try a vertical shoulder holster, designed to hold your firearm in a more upright position and appreciated the ease of drawing while maintaining a discreet profile under clothing.
Shoulder Holster vs Chest Holster
Although look very similar, shoulder holsters and chest holsters aren’t exactly the same. While shoulder holsters distribute weight across your shoulders keeping the firearm under the arm, chest gun holsters sit tighter and keep your firearm right in front.
Shoulder holsters are often more comfortable and offer good concealment under jackets or larger clothing, which makes them great for concealed carry, especially in colder climates. Conversely, chest holsters are great for outdoor activities, keeping your pistol easily accessible without much movement restriction.
