Does anyone wear a shoulder holster? - Page 3

Like Jeepnjay I also use a Galco Jackass holster under a shirt (western snap shirt). The Jackass rig holds the butt in tight and lets the pistol ride at a 45 degree angle so there is minimal printing. Have used this rig daily for the last few years with a full size Glock 20 and only have good things to say about it. You just need to wear a shirt a size larger than normal. Have been in a couple of bad situations where crossing my arms while unsnapping a snap on the shirt lets you slip a hand in on the weapon without anyone noticing. No worries with a covering jacket, no problems when driving and you won't drop or forget it in the rest room. They are usually available with no wait. Have tried other shoulder holsters but the Jackass rig works best for me.

Sure do and love it. Holster is an Alessi Body Guard (Thanks TwinCarry) and a 2.5" S&W 19. Bought them for motorcycle carry and am now wearing em all the time. Very comfortable, fast to draw and does a great job concealing. Have since tweeked it in for a great fit after these pics.

Sportsterguy, Thanks for your service, what you folks (Rescue Swimmers) do/did is freakin' awesome!! Outstanding!!

Wear one among other carry types (OWB, waist pouch, pocket, shoulder) and it's a Del Fatti. Check out the new 5.11 Tactical Covert Casual shirts. Carry Glock 17 or 19 in the SR rig with two spare mags weak-side and you can conceal it under the new 5.11 shirt all day long. They can be warm in the summer but then we select other carry options. Since October however; it's been cool enough to wear one and its almost April and it's still cool enough to wear one so... Just one view. Also carry OWB using the same shirt. BTW we're not associated with Del Fatti or 5.11.

Sportsterguy LOVES his Body Guard! It's turned into my favorite way of carrying and I'm back to packing a extremely reliable/accurate S&W revolver.

I have shoulder rigs and wear them occasionally. They are especially nice when driving on long road trips, when I don't care to have a holster pressing on my hip for hours at a time.
