A leather shoulder holster is a man's best buddy in the field, and you can usually spot them on police officers, soldiers, and private eyes. This type of accessory is commonly associated with Don Jonson, a character from the TV programme Miami Vice.
Full-grain leather was used in the making of this durable product, and it is equipped with a trademarked comfort system. The harness straps meet in the middle at the Flexalon back plate. Because of its modular design, the leather shoulder holster can be worn incognito.
In addition to the included magazine carrier, common add-ons include cuff cases, flashlight attachments, and tie-downs. There is a magazine pouch at your disposal.
Hoe to Keep Your Leather Shoulder Holster Looking Like New?
Care for leather and hardware should be done in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, so read those carefully. Although a leather shoulder holster is often made to last for decades, they do need to be cared for properly at the outset to ensure its longevity. A new holster needs to be "broken in" before it can expand to fit the specific dimensions of the pistol it will be carrying.
Do not instantly return it if it appears too tight on the gun because that is how it should be. All you need is some time and some old-school skills to make it yours. If your holster is too tight, you can loosen it without risking harm to your firearm by wrapping your gun in plastic or wax paper and repeatedly inserting and removing it from the holster. If you want the holster to fit your gun perfectly, you should sleep with it in it for a night.
Some users recommend using silicone on the holster's interior to ease gun removal, however, this should be a last resort since silicone can make the holster too loose. Keep the leather shoulder holster in good condition by regularly cleaning the outside with a moist cloth and letting it air dry. Although special conditioning treatments are good, they should be used sparingly because they have a tendency to soften the leather too much and damage the dimensions. However, specialised conditioning treatments are still appreciated.
It is more important to wear a t-shirt under a leather holster to keep it dry and protected from sweat and moisture. If you need to carry and conceal a pistol with a barrel length of up to around 5 inches, a shoulder holster is a good option even when the temperature outside is in the high 30s or low 40s. These products are highly recommended for truck drivers and those who spend long periods of time seated but yet need instant access to their firearms in an emergency.
Let a leather shoulder holster break in so it moulds perfectly to your body and the gun's profile if you decide to go that route. Having patience and not skipping processes will ensure that your new investment lasts for decades to come.
