OK I know i have read about this before but a search yielded a butt-load of results. So my question is: how is a shoulder holster "suposed" to fit?
I borrowed a buddies for my fullsize 1911 and want the word from the experts on:
- where it should hang? high...low...
- do you use the hold-downs? (i'd think not?)

and any other pertinant info i can gather to see if its a viable alternative for "some" situations.
I know lots of people here have them and they are not for normal everyday best use but some situations they fit the bill rather well.

for info it is a horizontal model witha dual mag pouch on the opposite side.
I'd say its a middle of the road quality rig.

any help is appreciated.
thanks
