Good luck mate.
a bit 'off topic' (nothing to do withthe suitability of shoulder holsters) but:
'Exotic weapon'? - A PPK? - just cos it has silver bullets it doesn't mean you're going after vampires.
'a basically inaccurate pistol'?
Really? - 'Why do you think you were given one?
Do you
really think that HMG gave you a pistol to enable you to take on the might of PVO Strany?
Had I ever 'gone to war' I would've taken either my L39 or my Schultz&Larsen Mauser + 50 rounds with me in the aircraft. - No holster, but I reckon I could've taken it with me when I jumped out.
Had I survived the landing, then I would've been lethal to any human target within 800 yards.
Browning 9mm? - You wouldn't want to be in my way inside 20 yards. The pistol was (in my hands) accurate at that range, but ordinarily it was lethal at 5 yards.
At 6 inches or rammed under the jawbone (the range it was intended to be used at) one could hardly miss.
Far better than discussing your bomb run with an aggrieved babuschka.
