Tactical Holsters & Weapon Slings for Duty & Field Carry
Your holster and weapon sling are the two points of contact between you and your firearm when it is not in your hands. A poorly designed holster creates a slow, inconsistent draw under stress. A poorly adjusted sling turns your rifle into a liability during movement. Every holster and sling in this collection is selected for consistent weapon retention, reliable draw geometry, and the durability to handle thousands of draw cycles, duty shifts, and field operations without failure.
Holster Types at PX Supply
Drop Leg Holsters
Thigh-mounted holster platforms that position the pistol below the hip for access when wearing plate carriers, tactical vests, or body armor that blocks standard belt draw. The drop leg configuration keeps the firearm accessible regardless of what is on your duty belt or carrier. Used by military, law enforcement, tactical units, and security personnel who wear plate carriers during operations.
Shoulder Holsters
Cross-draw shoulder harness systems that position the pistol under the non-dominant arm for access from the dominant hand. Shoulder holsters distribute pistol weight across the shoulders rather than the belt, reducing fatigue during extended wear. Popular for plainclothes law enforcement, investigators, and armed professionals who sit for long periods in vehicles where a belt holster creates discomfort.
Belt Holsters
Standard belt-mount holsters in open-carry and concealment configurations. Belt holsters provide the fastest and most consistent draw geometry for trained shooters. The dominant hand finds the same grip angle every draw without variation. Available in nylon and leather construction for duty and field use in multiple retention configurations.
Concealment Holsters
Inside-the-waistband (IWB) and belly band holsters for concealed carry. These holsters position the firearm against the body under clothing, minimizing printing and maintaining the grey man profile required for armed civilians, plainclothes officers, and executive protection personnel. Trigger guard coverage is non-negotiable on all concealment holsters; every firearm must be fully covered when holstered.
Weapon Sling Types
Single-Point Slings
Attach at a single point on the rear of the rifle, typically the buffer tube or a dedicated sling plate. The single-point configuration allows the rifle to swing freely at the transition point, making it easy to transition to a sidearm without setting the rifle down. Fast and simple, but it offers less weapon control during movement and running than two-point alternatives.
[H3] Two-Point Slings
The standard military sling configuration attaches at the front and rear of the rifle for stable carrying during movement. The two-point sling keeps the rifle controlled against the body during long movements, vehicle transitions, and hands-free tasks. Adjust the length to keep the rifle high and flat against the chest for patrol carry or longer for casual carry. The most versatile sling configuration for most users.
Three-Point Slings
Legacy sling design from the 1990s that routes through multiple attachment points for enhanced weapon retention. Three-point slings are rarely used by current military and law enforcement units, who have moved to simplified two-point configurations, but remain popular with airsoft and paintball players for their secure weapon retention during active play.
Holster Placement: Where You Mount Matters
Holster position determines draw speed, draw consistency, and draw accessibility when wearing additional kit. Strong-side hip (3 o'clock position for right-handed shooters) provides the fastest draw and most consistent geometry for trained users. Appendix position (1 o'clock) provides the fastest draw from a seated position and under concealing garments. Drop leg position is necessary when wearing plate carriers that block hip access. Cross-draw and shoulder positions work best for vehicle-based operators and plainclothes personnel.
Whatever position you choose, practice your draw from that position until it is automatic. Draw speed comes from muscle memory, not holster design.
Complete your duty setup with plate carrier vests, MOLLE gear and pouches, duty belts, and tactical boots for law enforcement.
