Shoulder Holster

[USMC1911]

I recently ordered this shoulder holster for my SIG 220 from DeSantis. I also purchased the Shoulder Holster Universal Knife Accessory(SHUKA). I have a K-bar that would fit that nice. Over the years I have had a few shoulder holsters. Mostly for back up firearm, during the winter months while I was on the job. Does anyone still use a Shoulder holster? I always like the ones that attach to the belt.

I like & use DeSantis holsters. No shoulder holsters from them, but mainly Galco Miami Classic's or copies from Craft Holsters. All horizontal but I have one vertical that I first got for a former DW .357, but now used for a S&W 686 3-5-7.

Sorry….I ordered this from Galco not DeSantis. They both are the major holster companies I use.

One word of caution pay close attention to the blade retention constantly. A boss had that rig, or one similar, and lost his knife when the snap opened somewhere along a motorcycle trip. I am always leary now of butt down carry for guns or blades where gravity is against you.

I have I think 3 shoulder rigs. They have their place. I have a pair of leather ( Galco I think) rigs for .44 and .357 long barreled revolvers and I have an "Assault Systems" nylon rig I sometimes use when real estate on my waist is already occupied.

I had shoulder holsters for duty primarily when driving the limo on protection details or when on a seated post. Galco. I found limited use for it otherwise and defaulted to strong side holsters most of the time. Now it hangs on my retirement shadow box. I do have a shoulder holster for my .44 mag 629 when hunting or checking hog traps but I seldom use it.

I use a WW2 US service reproduction for my 1911 when out afield. This is from my game cam checking batteries

That seems like it would be hard to draw from

I've only ever had one shoulder holster. It was some no name brand and I had no luck with it.

I went Searching in my basement and found two old shoulder holsters I have used in the past. Black one from Beretta for NYPD Mini-Cougar 8000 9mm and Tan one from Cobra Gunskin S&W38 snub nose. Both for backup firearms back in the old days. I put some leather conditioner on them and they came back to life. i need to pull out the firearms and give them a little TLC.
