A sling is used to hold and support an injured limb, typically an arm. However, on its own, a sling does not restrict movement in all directions. A second securement - known as a swath, is therefore used. In the context of an arm sling, a swath is a piece of cloth wrapped over the sling and humerus, around the torso and under the opposite shoulder. This reduces movement of the injured arm in the transverse plane much better than with the sling alone.
It is called a bandellero. what the previous answerer was thinking of was a bandolier, which holds ammunition. A similar strap that holds a larger gun like a rifle or shotgun is simply called a sling. What you're looking for is probably a CQD sling or a Tactical sling. If its a holster where a pistol rests on the hip but the strap goes over the shoulder, its sometimes called a baldric. If the strap goes across the chest and the pistol is under the arm its called a shoulder holster. I think that one of those should cover it.
