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.
