Andrews leather springbreak rig?

1911luver · October 29th, 2006, 01:08 PM

I was wondering if anyone here has one of these shoulder rigs,if so what do you think of it? Is it comfortable and does it conceal well? I'd be ordering it with the "solo" X shaped harness. I've read great things about andrews stuff the gun being carried would be a 5" steel colt 1911 fwiw.

I had one years ago. Functions OK, but the little white elastic band gets to be a pain in the armpit after a few hours.

With all that drinking going on, carrying on spring break is an accident waiting to happen.

I hope that it works better than the old Bianchi X~15 holster.
The Bianchi X~15 was never all that great of a holster in my humble opinion.

Now this is just my opinion, that could be a nice rig for a smaller pistol. I have a double rig from Sam that I carry two 4" 1911 in. I've talked to Sam and he says that outfit is more for a smaller pistol or a snub revolver. But give him a call and I'm sure he can set you up with a great shoulder holster. I'll say from experiance you want a wide strap over the shoulder if you plan on carrying a steel frame full sized 1911. It feels better also to balance the weight out on the other side with several mags.
