Revolver Shoulder Holsters
Most law enforcement officers have revolver shoulder holsters as part of their official equipment. A shoulder holster carries a revolver or other handgun at the side of the body--at the level of the mid-torso--and can be concealed by clothing layers. The mid-torso area is easy to reach quickly and presents little danger to the law enforcement officer from accidental discharges, due to the positioning of the gun.
Re-holstering is an important consideration for law enforcement personnel, as they need to be able to replace the firearm easily and swiftly. Collapsible revolver shoulder holsters that are made from soft materials, such as leather, may fold inward whenever a gun is removed, requiring the use of two hands to replace the gun. A police officer cannot afford the extra time it takes to do this when apprehending a suspect and cannot set the gun aside when handcuffing someone. Therefore, hard-sided revolver shoulder holsters made from rigid materials like plastic are preferred for this type of use. A hard-sided holster retains its shape at all times, so that a gun can be replaced with one hand, without even looking at it.
