How To Choose The Best Shoulder Holster For Your Smith & Wesson Model 66 - 4.25"
When you're shopping for a new Shoulder holster for you.Smith & Wesson Model 66 - 4.25", knowing exactly what you want matters. If you've narrowed it down to a Shoulder holster, you're already on the right path. 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 Model 66 - 4.25" 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 Model 66 - 4.25" 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 Model 66 - 4.25" secure, balanced, and ready.
How to Choose the Right Smith & Wesson Model 66 - 4.25" 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 Model 66 - 4.25" 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 Model 66 - 4.25" 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.

Fit and finish is excellent. My S&W Mod 66 (my original service weapon) fits perfectly. I used rubbing alcohol applied with a cotton swab to the INSIDE of the retaining strap to make it more flexible. I’ll be ordering another one for my Sig.

Have two of these holsters and love them both. Beautiful leather and great workmanship. Follow their example regarding breaking their holsters in. They fit like a glove.

I have ordered twice from Craft Holsters. First time a simple belt holster that was of good quality, if somewhat overpriced. Second, and last order, from Craft Holsters was a two gun Roto shoulder holster. It arrived and one of the gun retaining straps was a full inch to short to reach the snap. Craft Holster says 100% customer satisfaction. Take that with a 50 pound block of salt. When I asked for return instructions and a refund they replied with wanting documents filled out, and multiple pictures. Then it was, you need to try the break in procedures. Can you imagine stretching a 4" piece of leather one inch and not destroying its physical properties? Needless to say you should believe all the negative reviews about the endless hoops Craft Holsters wants you to jump through, and forms to be filled out. Not a company that I will ever order from again.
