Deep Concealment You Can Wear All Day When you are working undercover or simply need a deep concealment option that doesn't rely on a belt, comfort is king. The Rothco Undercover Shoulder Holster is engineered to provide a low-profile, "forget it's there" carry experience. Unlike bulky tactical rigs, this holster utilizes a lightweight Padded Shoulder Strap that prevents digging and distributes the weight of the firearm evenly across your shoulder, making it ideal for detectives, drivers, or anyone seated for long periods.

Built from durable 600 Denier Polyester, the holster is tough enough for daily use but soft enough to conform to your body. It features a protective inner lining and Leatherette Trim to ensure your firearm draws smoothly without snagging or scratching the finish. Security is paramount, which is why it includes a fully adjustable Hook & Loop Thumb Snap to keep your weapon locked in place during movement, and an adjustable belt tie-down strap to prevent the rig from swinging when you run or bend over.

Key Features

  • Padded Comfort: Features a cushioned shoulder pad that prevents strap fatigue during extended wear.
  • Low Profile Design: Slim construction is designed to disappear under a light jacket, blazer, or heavy button-down shirt.
  • Secure Retention: A hook-and-loop thumb snap strap keeps the firearm securely seated while allowing for a quick break-and-draw.
  • Smooth Draw: Interior lining and leatherette trim protect the gun’s slide and ensure a snag-free presentation.
  • Belt Tie-Down: An adjustable lower strap anchors the holster to your belt, keeping it stable and tight against the body.
  • Two Sizes: Available in a 4-Inch model for compact/standard autos and a 5-Inch model for full-size duty pistols.

Why It Matters Shoulder holsters are often viewed as "movie props," but for professionals who spend their day driving or sitting at a desk, they are the most practical way to carry. This model strips away the unnecessary bulk of modular military rigs to give you a streamlined, comfortable solution for plainclothes work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a shoulder holster over an IWB or OWB holster for concealed carry?▸

The Rothco Undercover Shoulder Holster (SKU 10564) excels when you're seated for extended periods—ideal for drivers, pilots, security personnel, or anyone in vehicles. Unlike belt holsters that dig into your side when sitting, this shoulder rig distributes weight across your shoulders and allows quick access while buckled in. The discreet design stays hidden under a jacket or blazer, making it perfect for plainclothes officers, executive protection, or business professionals who need CCW without printing through dress clothes.

Will the Rothco 10564 shoulder holster fit my firearm if it's a compact 9mm or full-size .45?▸

Yes—Rothco offers this holster in two sizes: 4" and 5" barrel lengths. The 4" model accommodates most compact and subcompact semi-autos (Glock 19, Sig P365XL, Springfield Hellcat), while the 5" version fits standard and full-size pistols (1911s, Beretta 92, Glock 17). The hook-and-loop thumb strap adjusts to secure different frame widths, and the padded shoulder strap customizes to your torso for a stable fit regardless of firearm size.

How does the thumb snap retention on the Rothco shoulder holster balance security with draw speed?▸

The hook-and-loop thumb strap provides Level 1 retention—enough to keep your firearm secure during movement, bending, or running, but releases instantly with a practiced thumb swipe. Unlike rigid thumb-break snaps that require precise alignment, the hook-and-loop design is forgiving and silent, critical for undercover or low-profile carry. You get reliable retention without sacrificing the fast draw needed in defensive situations.

Can I wear the Rothco Undercover Shoulder Holster all day without shoulder fatigue?▸

Absolutely. The fully adjustable, padded shoulder strap distributes your firearm's weight evenly across both shoulders, preventing the single-side strain common with belt holsters. The adjustable belt strap anchors the rig to your torso, eliminating bounce and sway. The lightweight polyester construction with leatherette trim keeps the total system weight minimal, making it comfortable for 8–12 hour shifts in security, law enforcement, or executive protection roles.

Is the Rothco 10564 shoulder holster suitable for left-handed shooters or cross-draw setups?▸

The Rothco Undercover Shoulder Holster is designed for traditional right-hand draw (firearm under left arm). However, the fully adjustable harness system allows you to configure it for cross-draw or left-handed carry by reversing the holster position. The hook-and-loop thumb strap adapts to either orientation, though optimal concealment and draw mechanics work best in the standard right-hand configuration under a jacket.
