Shoulder Holsters
Our shoulder holsters are handcrafted from premium full-grain leather and built around a 4-point harness with a contoured back plate to distribute weight evenly across both shoulders. Choose classic horizontal rigs for natural concealment under a jacket, or opt for vertical configurations where longer barrels or specific dress codes demand a straighter drop. Each system is modular and balanced with a matching counterweight carrier—double mag pouch for semiautos or a double drop pouch for revolvers—so your setup stays stable and discreet.
Dial in your fit with quick, tool-free adjustments for ride height and cant. Right- or left-hand options are available, with sizes accommodating chests up to 52" (132 cm). Every rig is wet-molded for model-specific retention and finished with reinforced stitching and premium hardware to stand up to daily use.
Select your firearm model to get a made-to-fit shoulder rig—crafted, tested, and backed by Hunting Holsters.
Why Hunters Choose Shoulder Holsters
All-Day Comfort in the Field
When you're spending hours in the backcountry, comfort isn't a luxury—it's essential. Our 4-point harness design eliminates the hip and waist pressure of traditional belt holsters, distributing your firearm's weight evenly across both shoulders. The contoured back plate conforms to your body, reducing fatigue during long treks and extended sits.
Works with Your Hunting Gear
Hunting demands layers, and our shoulder holsters are designed to integrate seamlessly. Wear them over base layers and under your jacket, parka, or hunting vest. The cross-draw position keeps your sidearm accessible without interfering with backpack straps, binocular harnesses, or other essential gear.
Accessible from Any Position
Whether you're glassing from a ridge, sitting in a ground blind, or climbing into a tree stand, shoulder holsters provide consistent access. The natural cross-draw motion works smoothly even when seated, kneeling, or in confined spaces—situations where hip holsters fall short.
Built for Demanding Conditions
Our wet-molded leather construction creates model-specific retention that holds your firearm secure through brush, climbs, and rugged terrain. Premium full-grain leather stands up to weather, while reinforced stitching and quality hardware ensure your rig performs season after season.
Popular Hunting Applications
Big Game Backup: Carry a powerful revolver for close-range protection when hunting elk, moose, or in bear country
Tree Stand Hunting: Draw smoothly while seated and keep your sidearm secure during climbs
Backcountry Expeditions: Balanced weight distribution for comfort during multi-day hunts in remote areas
Predator Control: Quick access for follow-up shots during coyote, hog, or varmint hunting
Wilderness Fishing: Essential protection for Alaska-style trips where bears are a concern
Horizontal vs. Vertical Carry
Horizontal Configuration: The classic choice for natural concealment under jackets. Your firearm rides parallel to the ground, creating a low profile that works well with sport coats and outerwear. Ideal for most hunting applications and everyday field carry.
Vertical Configuration: Best for longer-barreled revolvers or situations requiring a straighter drop. Keeps the muzzle pointing down and accommodates extended barrels without printing. Popular for guide guns and large-frame revolvers.
Custom Fit, Proven Performance
Every Hunting Holsters shoulder rig is built to order for your specific firearm model. Our wet-molding process creates precise retention without requiring thumb breaks or retention straps—your gun stays secure through active movement but draws smoothly when you need it.
Tool-free adjustments let you fine-tune ride height and cant angle in seconds, adapting to different clothing layers or carry preferences. Available in right- and left-hand configurations with generous sizing up to 52" chest circumference.
The balanced counterweight system isn't just about stability—it keeps your harness from shifting during movement and provides organized storage for spare ammunition exactly where you need it.
