Old School Durability for Heavy Firepower Modern tactical gear is great, but sometimes you need the reliability and classic feel of traditional materials. The Rothco Canvas Shoulder Holster is a throwback to military-issue rigs, constructed from Heavyweight Cotton Canvas that is as tough as it is lightweight. Designed specifically to haul big iron, this holster is sized to fit most Large Frame .45 Caliber Handguns (like the 1911 or Beretta M9) with 5-inch barrels.
The system is built for simplicity and function. It features a fully Adjustable Shoulder Harness that distributes the weight of a heavy steel pistol across your back, reducing the sag and strain associated with belt carry. Security is ensured by a reliable Thumb Snap retention strap that keeps the firearm locked in place until you need it. For added stability during movement, an Elastic Belt Loop anchors the bottom of the holster to your belt, preventing the rig from swinging around while you run or crouch.
