Shoulder holsters excel for users who spend long periods seated, such as drivers or office workers. Your EAA Witness Polymer Compact stays accessible without digging into your waist or being blocked by seatbelts.
Even weight distribution
Designed to spread the weight across your upper body, shoulder holsters reduce pressure points, making them comfortable for extended wear, especially with full-size pistols.

Room for extras
Most shoulder holsters include off-side magazine pouches, allowing you to carry spare magazines or accessories without needing additional belt gear.
Balanced and secure
With dual-strap harnesses and adjustable positioning, shoulder holsters stay in place, providing stability, comfort, and control while you’re on the move.
Best for full-size firearms
Shoulder holsters comfortably support the weight of full-size pistols and revolvers, making them popular among professionals, outdoorsmen, and those carrying heavy handguns.

How to Choose the Right EAA Witness Polymer Compact Shoulder Holster for Your Body and Lifestyle
Body fit and harness adjustability
Choose a shoulder holster with fully adjustable straps to fit your chest and shoulders comfortably. Slim builds may prefer tighter harnesses, while larger frames benefit from wider straps with padding.
Vertical vs horizontal carry
Vertical rigs hold your EAA Witness Polymer Compact pointing downward for better concealment and security with full-size pistols. Horizontal rigs allow faster cross-body draws, often preferred for mid-sized handguns.
Gun size compatibility
Ensure your holster is molded specifically for your EAA Witness Polymer Compact for proper retention and safe carry. Shoulder holsters work best with mid to full-size firearms.
Handedness
Select a holster designed for your dominant hand. Right-handed users carry under the left arm for a natural draw, and left-handed users carry under the right arm.
Retention and safety
Look for holsters with strong retention systems such as thumb breaks to keep your firearm secure during movement while still allowing for a quick, smooth draw.
Comfort features
Choose models with breathable, padded harness materials to reduce irritation during long wear, especially if used under heavy jackets or tactical gear.

Richard G
I ordered a shoulder holster to carry an EAA Witness 10 mm (all steel) & (2) 14 rd mags which is a pretty heavy combination. Since the Witness isn't the most popular gun it was hard to find a holster elsewhere. Craft built one with a perfect fit. The Roto feature really improves the draw angle for an easier faster draw. The leather is high quality and form, fit, function & finish are Perfect. This will be my first experience with an EDC shoulder rig so I've been wearing it around to get the right fit. It's not easy. I've adjusted it at least 25 times and I think I'm almost there. The more I play with the adjustment the more comfortable it gets. Take your time adjusting and try different things even if they are counter intuitive. So now that I have it fitted it's surprisingly comfortable. I love the way the holster fits me and the gun. It distributes the load very well. It's worth every penny. I will be buying more Craft holsters. Final comment: I used to do a lot of leather work, custom holsters, knife sheaths etc and I think buying this quality leather would have cost more than the finished holster from Craft. Thanks Craft, kudos to your craftsman for their excellent workmanship. Best regards Rich G.
