Quick Overview

This shoulder holster provides a simple and comfortable method for overtly carrying large-frame handguns like a .45 caliber 1911, especially when belt or hip carry is impractical. It is ideal for use by outdoorsmen, drivers, or for historical reenactments where accessibility is prioritized over concealment.

Field Application Steps

  1. Adjust the harness for a high, snug fit under the arm with a safe muzzle orientation.
  2. Secure the elastic loop to your belt; this is critical to stabilize the holster for a consistent draw.
  3. With an UNLOADED firearm, practice your draw stroke, focusing on cleanly defeating the thumb snap with your thumb.
  4. Re-holster with extreme caution by visually guiding the firearm, as the soft canvas material is prone to collapsing.
