ABSTRACT:
A reversible shoulder holster for carrying firearms includes a sheath which can be worn on either side. The sheath supports the weapon in a vertical position and with the butt vertically below the barrel. A back piece spaces apart and directs a first and second pair of straps such that they emanate from the back piece in an X-shape. The first and second pairs of the straps are removably connected to either a sheath or an accessory carrier. The sheath includes at least one open end and incorporates a spring clip which engages the weapon, such as at the ejector port of a semiautomatic handgun, to secure the weapon in the sheath. The tension of the spring clip may be adjusted by a tension screw passing through the sheath. The X-shape of the harness straps provides for a greater freedom of movement for the wearer. The removable straps allow for easy adjustment. The removability of the straps and the reversibility of the sheath and accessory holder allow the shoulder hoster to be used by either a left or righthanded wearer.
