I was thinking of buying a shoulder-holster for my airborne kit, for several reasons.
1. i just find it easy'r to draw from the shoulder then the hip(then it comes to old time holsters) 2. just to fill up the chest eria(it's a bit nude there, even with suspenders) 3 and finally to make some room on the cartridge/pistol belt..
but. how common were these holsters,
i Brothers in arms almost all the characters have them, but i BOB i cant remember seeing one.
and I don't have any real source's to go from only games and movies..

you are familiar with this site yes? www.101airborneww2.com/Pretty much everything you need to know regarding Airborne (101st at least) If you don't find it already on Marks site, register in the forums and ask- very very friendly guys in there and a lot of veterans. -G

hate to be one of those but i think hoobler wears one. Not trying to be a pain in the paratroopers landing pad "because they didnt all just land on thier jumpboots" but i just couldnt help commenting. I got the shoulder holster and like you i think its a better option for the same reasons.

I don't recall Hoobler having a .45, remember he was always looking for the luger? The only one I remember from BoB having a shoulder holster was Webster.

your iight hoobler never had a shoulder holster. Savy is right saying that webster had one. i guess you guys just beat me to my correction because i remembered that it was webster the day after when i watched one of the eposides. Good for you for correcting me. It's good to know im not the only BOB freak.

Ya Web had one because he pulled it on the German a Lansberg and called him a nazi pig. I think I saw some others with on too. Oh ya I think fox hole Norman D. had one too.

Well, Shoulder holsters were kinda rare, and even when guys got 'em, they hooked it around their waist.
