Gear Review: Spec-Ops Brand Field Shoulder Holster

 

Recently my Fellow Texans over at Spec-Ops Brand sent over their Field Shoulder Holster for me to Review. This is the kind of holster you would wear hunting, hiking or just roaming around in the back 40. Shoulder Holsters are great when you want to carry your sidearm but you want to keep your waist area free and clear. The Spec-Ops Shoulder Holster is designed with a “canted” holster which orients the barrel of your weapon at a downward angle. This differs from a Horizontal Holster which orients the barrel to the rear which could cause the wearer to “flag” a person standing behind you.

Here are the Specs:

• Universal Design: This shoulder holster fits most common military and L.E. service pistols including; Beretta M9, Sig M11, 1911, & Glock.
• Low Profile: The four point harness effectively distributes the weight of pistol and spare mags without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Easy On & Off: The specially designed “yoke” and easily adjustable four-point harness system keeps the shoulder holster from twisting and speeds donning. The double release on the front allows the shoulder holster to be quickly removed.
• Ambidextrous: The SPEC.-OPS.® Brand Shoulder Holster can be set-up for a right or left-handed shooter in a matter of seconds. No special adapters or hardware are required for this shoulder holster.
• Safe: The “Tanker” style orientation of the shoulder holster body leaves the pistol pointed in a safe direction and makes drawing fast and smooth. No more worries about “flagging” the folks standing behind you.

The Magazine pouches are inverted and use velcro fasteners. They are big enough to accommodate any size single or double stack magazine easily.

The Four Point harness system spreads the weight evenly across the shoulders and back and makes carrying your firearm and mags for long periods of time very comfortable and lessens the chance for muscle fatigue.

Here is a picture I snapped with my G21 and 2 Mags. As many of you know, the G21 is a Big gun and the holster accommodated it fine. It also shows the front release buckle, which keeps the holster from flopping around.

Overall this is a great field shoulder holster for a multitude of uses. The Cordura construction makes it weather proof and tough and the design ensures the wearer remains comfortable.

Stay Alert, Stay Armed and Stay Dangerous!
