Double Shoulder Holsters – Why Two?

Double shoulder holsters are essentially a standard single shoulder holster with another holster module attached where a magazine holder normally rides. Some shooters prefer a double shoulder holster in place of a single shoulder holster in order to carry a backup gun. As most shooters know - it’s possible though unlikely – your primary defensive weapon could jam – leaving you vulnerable. Some shooters prefer to carry a backup gun in an ankle holster – which is entirely fine. However, the double shoulder holster offers an alternative to other methods of carrying a backup gun. Most double shoulder holsters can be configured to accommodate most pistols handguns and style of carry (i.e. horizontal or vertical). For example, some double shoulder holsters might be configured for a small pistol (carried horizontal) on the right side and a larger handgun (carried vertical) on the left side. It’s purely a matter of practicality and personal preference as to what configuration you might choose.

Some folks like to purchase the double shoulder holster in order to save money. For instance, most of them come equipped with two holster modules (detachable) and a double magazine holder which can be attached in place of one of the holster modules. Essentially, this enables you to create a single shoulder holster with two possible handgun sizes (one size for each module). Three holsters for the price of one – but only one configuration can be worn at any one time. Regardless of what shoulder holster system you choose – a double shoulder holster provides an alternative to the traditional single shoulder holster system.
