Just about every ground soldier in Blackhawk down, (AKA not the pilots) carried shotguns holstered on their back/side. You never see them get used, but you can see the shells on their vest, and in parts you can see them run by with them on their right side. Holstering any gun on your back is a bad idea in my opinion. Primary or not. The only reason I could understand a back holster is if you want to do some kind of crawling, climbing. MP5 mags are strong enough to support themselves. But, that would really hurt pretty bad, unless you found a way to secure the mag to your belt.... But then you have limited mobility. 3 Point slings make me mad, But I'm going to be carrying 4 guns and a claymore on the field now. I'm going to have a 9lb MP5 on my back (slinged) an m15 in my hands (sling around one shoulder) glock 19 on my hip, and glock 18c in my vest. To be honest, I don't know how good the gun on your back is going to feel if you run, or need to jump down somewhere... They make many pistol holsters for different locations.. (hip, leg, chest, ankle, etc...) so unless you are doing it because you really wan't to, and it's a personal preference... I wouldnt bother.

Note: I'm not so much using these sources as a reason to want to do this, but more of an example of what I want to accomplish.
Anyone ever played splinter cell? (WTF am I talking about, everyone has!) Sam puts his on his back. Now is that a sling, or what?
If not Sam Fisher, than how about the men+women of Rainbow Six 3? They do the same when they perform special actions.
So that is more or less what I want to accomplish, whether by sling, a back holster, or the grace of God. I figure that it'd be better to do when I do things like SWAT said, jump, climb, and do things like unlock doors in CQB situations.

A screenshot would be helpful.
However, when real operators are required to do the things you've mentioned, they typically rely on 3-point slings. The whole purpose of the design is to be able to put your weapon somewhere that it's out of the way when you need both hands for something else, but easily (and quickly) accessible.

Looks like a sling rather than a holster to me.

Looks like it's levitating to me, but the same effect would be achieved in real life with a sling.

Note that the slung weapon holder is to be used in conjunction with a sling
