Leather, vertical shoulder holster for Fort-17

The shoulder leather holster is a convenient option for concealed carry of the Fort 17 under the arm when a belt holster is inconvenient or uncomfortable. The vertical fit helps to position the weapon compactly and closer to the body, which reduces the ‘print’ under a jacket or coat. This format is especially appreciated by drivers and those who are often in a sitting position: the pistol does not rest against the belt and remains accessible.

The shoulder holster is made of genuine leather and is designed for the Fort-17 pistol, and is also compatible with the Fort-17R. For safe carrying, there is a fastener that holds the pistol in the holster and reduces the risk of it falling out when moving. The shoulder system has wide size adjustments, so the fit can be adjusted to suit your height, clothing and preferred weapon placement height. When adjusted correctly, the holster sits securely and does not ‘move’ when walking.

Advantages of a vertical shoulder holster

• Comfort in the car: comfortable to sit and fasten your seat belt.
• Concealment: the holster is located under outer clothing and is less noticeable.
• Vertical orientation: compact placement, neat fit.
• Adjustments: straps can be adjusted to your height and seasonal clothing.
• Safety: a lock holds the weapon in the holster.

How to adjust the holster correctly

It is recommended to wear the holster close to the inner part of the shoulder — this way it shifts less and is better concealed under clothing. Adjust the straps so that the handle is accessible with a natural movement of the arm and the pistol itself does not swing when walking. After the initial adjustment, try a few movements (turning, bending, getting into a car) and tighten the straps if necessary. This is a simple step that significantly increases comfort, especially if the holster is used daily.
