Horizontal Shoulder Holsters
A horizontal shoulder holster keeps a gun at the level of the mid-torso and pointed backward. This design typically leaves the end of the gun available for a quick and easy draw, depending on the degree of retention in the holster. A horizontal shoulder holster can be worn underneath a coat or jacket, if necessary, and does not cause the gun to get in the way of a person's arms.
Like all holsters, the horizontal shoulder version must be durable in order to be practical. Police officers and military personnel frequently wear these for long periods of time in a variety of adverse conditions. If the material weakens or frays or if the mechanical features break or become compromised, the safety of the gun owner is at stake. For this reason, most horizontal shoulder holsters are made from extraordinarily strong materials, such as nylon, leather and plastic.
More Considerations Regarding Horizontal Shoulder Holsters
The increasing technical advancements in today's firearms have made it necessary for most holsters to be brand specific. Sig Sauer, Beretta and other guns must go into holsters designed for them in order to be carried safely. To do otherwise could cause the safety to disengage or the gun to accidentally fire when placing it in the holster or when drawing it.
