Cardini Leather Shoulder Holster for Glock and Springfield XD

The Cardini Leather Shoulder Holster for Glock is designed for shooters who need a practical alternative to waistband carry when comfort, balance, and accessibility are priorities. Shoulder holsters are commonly used by Glock owners who spend long hours standing, walking, or seated, where traditional belt holsters can feel restrictive or uncomfortable. This system supports off-waist carry while keeping the firearm consistently positioned and accessible.

The holster uses a vertical shoulder carry orientation, positioning the pistol muzzle-down along the torso. This layout helps reduce movement during daily activity and allows the firearm to sit closer to the body under jackets or outer garments. Vertical carry is often preferred for full-size and compact Glock pistols, as it minimizes printing and avoids the outward profile associated with horizontal shoulder holsters.

Constructed from leather, the holster system is paired with an adjustable shoulder harness designed to distribute weight evenly across the shoulders. A dual magazine carrier is positioned opposite the holster, helping balance the load and keeping spare magazines readily accessible. This balanced configuration supports extended wear without concentrating weight on the beltline or hips.

Retention is managed through a thumb break strap, providing an added level of security while still allowing a deliberate and controlled draw once properly adjusted. Adjustable straps allow users to fine-tune ride height and fit based on body size and clothing layers. Elastic belt tie-down straps connect the holster and magazine carrier to the belt, improving stability during movement and helping keep the system aligned throughout the day.

This shoulder holster supports both left- and right-hand users, making it suitable for a wide range of shooters without requiring a dedicated single-hand configuration. It is intended for Glock pistols and accommodates common Glock frame sizes used for range work, training, and concealed carry under appropriate garments where permitted by law. As with most leather holsters, a short break-in period may be required to achieve optimal fit and draw feel.
