Shoulder holster is the style most of TV detective heroes wear. They require that you always wear a suit coat or jacket. The user must reach across the body to draw. A slower draw and most shoulder holsters require a thumb break to hold the gun securely. People of large girth may find the draw from a shoulder holster difficult. They have some special advantages for particular applications. If you spend most of your time riding or driving in a vehicle, the shoulder holster is an excellent option. For long rides, it is more comfortable to have the gun suspended from your shoulders than to have it pressed against your kidney. Especially on bumpy roads and in cars with hard suspensions. With a shoulder holster, the gun is easily accessible while seated in a car with a seat belt on. Shoulder holsters usually provide carriers for two spare magazines – two rather than one because the two counterbalance the weight of the gun better. This is more spare ammo than most civilian CCW carriers carry, it could be an advantage in a bad situation. I have never heard the statement -"I wish I DIDN'T have extra ammo"
