How To Choose The Best Shoulder Holster For Your Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS

When you're shopping for a new Shoulder holster for you.Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS, knowing exactly what you want matters.

Below, we’ll walk you through why this carry style might be the ideal fit, how to find the best model for your body type and setup, and what materials and add-ons to consider.

Why Choose a Shoulder Holster?

Shoulder holsters are a classic and practical carry option for those seeking comfortable concealed or open carry, especially when waistband carry isn’t ideal. Worn across the shoulders with the firearm positioned under the arm, this style offers balanced weight distribution and easy access.

Ideal for sitting and driving

Shoulder holsters excel for users who spend long periods seated, such as drivers or office workers. Your Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS 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.

Great for concealed or open carry

Depending on your clothing, shoulder holsters work for both concealed and open carry. Wearing a jacket or overshirt keeps your Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS out of sight while maintaining easy access.

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.


Whether you’re carrying for duty, travel, or everyday concealment under jackets, a shoulder holster keeps your Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS secure, balanced, and ready.


How to Choose the Right Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS 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 Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS 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 Smith & Wesson Equalizer TS 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.

The holster appears to be top quality.. however I am unable to use it due to the fact, that it is not an optics ready set up. So I can not give a honest review because I have never been able to wear it.

Holster is exceptionally well-made. Craftsmanship is great. The break-in kit was quite useful, and I recommend getting it. I had to lengthen the snap strap on the back of the holster a little and also one of the straps on the magazine holder a little. It was not difficult. I had to use a small dremel grinder tool to remove a little leather on the inside of the holster so that gun would seat fully. You may want to revisit the location of the snap on that back strap, since it interferes a little with the firearm's thumb safety when in the safe (up) position. Perhaps moving it up and back about 5 mm or so. I would highly recommend this holster system. It is very comfortable to wear and easy to adjust, and should last a long time.
