Finally a tube video that shows the correct draw method for a shoulder holster! However, if someone is that close to you fighting them off your weapon becomes OUR weapon
Got a Galco vertical shoulder holster for my revolvers. The holster works with S&W J and L frame revolvers. Same holster that can hold multiple guns. Some Colts and Rugers too. Galco has an optional holster retainment strap to stabilize the holster portion. Available on Galco's website. Attaches to the the snaps on the holster.
I got my Miami Classic last week for winter carry. I'm loving it, so comfortable with a light weight Glock. I like my G19x in it instead of the regular G19 but only drawback is with the regular Miami Classic you have the snap straps over the mags so can't carry the 19 round mags, have to settle with the 17 round mags. Great video dude.
Nice video brother and I like and get your thinking and I am a Galco gun leather fan also besides the limited holster choices for WML's ect.... I'm a shoulder holster guy in colder weather. I have a tip and a recommendation or two. 1. I have never cut any straps on my harnesses as I just thread thru and overlap and put screw in last hole so no loose ends, make sure to adjust slack exactly correct by pinching and running finger along slack section. 2. You need a BUG or a back up gun if you truly take protecting seriously and there is no better way to carry a backup with that shoulder holster then to have an identical gun were the mags are and the shoulder rig will be perfectly balanced which makes it that much better and more comfortable. Best wishes , I hope you try the dual gun as EVEN GALCO MENTIONS IT ON THERE WEBSITE
Think i like the 3 o'clock carry best. There is reason cops and military use it. But i love shoulder carry holsters if u drive a lot or have a job requiring you driving all day. Its best way to carry a gun and its easiest way to present it if the threat arises. Don't involve any weird positioning movements, doesn't interfere with seat belt and it doesn't require you to point your weapon into femoral arteries like appendix does. Besides if you Taxing or uber driving if somebody is to grab you behind the seat you can easily manipulate the weapon without fully unhostering it and fire it.
I prefer shoulder carry for a lot of reasons - chiefly however because I loathe the feeling of anything on my hip. If I’m in shorts, it’s a j frame all day- otherwise I can easily manage a full size 1911 all day.
Just ordered one for my glock 17, my grandpa carry’s a p89 ruger with a shoulder holster and he told me it’s the most comfortable kind of setup, and it doubles as a pair of suspenders 😂
Did you order your holster in a left hand draw or did you just switch them? I ask because I can’t find anything in a left hand draw for my firearms, so I’m considering just ordering a right handed one and flipping it.
Reasons why I don't prefer shoulder holsters; 1. If your draw hand/arm is unable to be used it is much harder to draw with your weak hand using a shoulder rig. 2. The firearm isn't held snug to the body so it's a bit more difficult to get a draw without adjusting your grip afterward. Ideally you want to grip and draw the firearm with your firing grip already established. The other situation is if you go hands on with an attacker to the ground moving around and having to locate the grip of the firearm if needed. Look at the movement for example in a slight movement standing upright at 07:17. 3. In horizontal carry the muzzle sweep is something to be aware of as you're sweeping 180 degrees. 4. I prefer to keep my firearm away from the threat. If you take a defensive stance you put your weak side forward. Carrying in a shoulder rig puts your weapon closer to the threat as opposed to hip carry. 5. You need a thumb snap to retain the weapon and it must be defeated to draw with a shoulder holster. Carrying on your hip you have the option of either with or without thumb snap. I do like shoulder holsters for driving but for everyday carry I prefer waist carry.
Yeh man! Very good and concise points! I don't have that glock anymore so all my carry guns are either Decocked on the hip or have safeties and on hip. I actually carry my little 357 snubby in a cross draw so I can use either hand. Lefty means my speed loaders are on left side, so the snub is basically laying over my right leg. I actually stopped carrying the glocks, because of the lack of a safety. So I just carry OWB mostly. I went back to cz75 type guns for carry. Witness pro 10mm, 75B Omega Convertible, Steel Sp01 Safety Model. My very first carry gun was a 75 compact with a decocker. Really regret selling it. But the omega is almost perfect for me TBH. If it had just 1 spot for a light, I wouldn't carry anything else. But my wife has the sp01 by bedside for night time. And the 10mm is for hiking or going out in the country. I do still prefer having a thumb break/strap snap for retention. Just to make sure the thing stays put. Plus I make all my holsters, so I just like the strap reten for muscle memory sake
@@Leman.Russ.6thLegion CZ models are really nice guns, I love the CZ 75 it has an outstanding record with a huge following throughout the world. Really cool that you make your own holsters! I have too many hobbies already but making holsters (Kydex) are on my list. Cheers!
I've actually been using a belly band holster and it's really comfortable and conceals my G22 RTF awesomely and space is your friend , and I don't carry one in the chamber because on the way up it can be racked real fast and easy 😉 if I open carry I have a hip holster like a cop but I mite pick up one of these for hunting and open carry , I like the way it comes out . Lol practical nurse said don't appendix carry so I don't 👍👍 I like my balls where they are 😉
Nice. I always carry one in the chamber. But you got your reasons. Belly bands are the shiz! I love them and fanny packs. I run a lot, so it's good for that.
@@Leman.Russ.6thLegionit is to difficult to protect your firearm at all times in public but if your open carrying, you must. Like when out shopping, holding kids, etc. There are times when both your hands are full. Now your gun is vulnerable and up for grabs. Suppose someone intent on doing harm, enters a public place where you are at. They see you are carrying, but there weapon is still concealed until they are ready to strike. You're getting the first bullet. You lose any tactical advantage when open carrying. I understand why cops, military and hunters open carry. It makes little sense for most anyone else too.
@@Leman.Russ.6thLegion I carry a full sized PX4. My current holster is an Alien gear adjustable IWB. I'm seriously considering a shoulder rig Hence the question.
@@rdsii64 well i love shoulder rigs. I know there are models that have the gun canted muzzle down. Also, guide rigs are great too. However, with modern guns, they are so safe, a normal rig sould be fine. But if you want something custom, I can actually make you a rig for your gun if you want. Check my channel. I have a side business making holsters. My email is: Wolfkingleather@gmail.com If you want a muzzle down rig, I know there are makers who do it. Or I can make it. Either way, dont wear a rig if you feel unsafe. I no longer have that glock, and instead carry a CZ75B Omega Convertible, An RIA 9mm 1911, and or an 1858 New Model Navy smokeless .38spcl big iron. Big key is, they all have safeties, cus I have a small child now. Hope that helps. Thanks!
Training dont kick in u gonna shoot yourself in arm. Rotating hip away from attacker is safer. That shoulder holster facing them..... inky u have 2 walk in tour shoes do u. However a couple of those reasons are flawed

Yes.i carry shoulder only with a coat now.
the 1st step to carrying is learning to fight with out the use of a weapon. The rest comes after.....

It’s so much easier carrying shoulder while driving around town.I don’t get the open carry but I’ve been carrying a Miami classic since 92.
Love it with my P365. S&W 442 is soooo comfortable. Even my Beretta 92fs is a joy to carry. Shoulder all day everyday.

which coat do you wear? Me being in NJ i have to Conceal and im finding it hard to find a good coat for this.
I switched to a cz75, in a similar rig.
I have a grey wool jacket usually.
Fits great

Another lefty here.
nice 19x! I have one too, I carry it on and off between that and my P365. Good choice with those 19rd mags!

What should holster is that? Where can I buy one?
I like it.
Apparently they don't make one for a HK VP9. I can't seem to find anyone's who makes a good quality leather shoulder holster for a VP9
That sucks. See if any custom guys to one. I sold my Glock for a bunch of Cz types.
Thanks for the review!
Thank you!

Left hqnd specific order. They sell them as an item option.
Why did you decide to get rid of the chest rig and glock?
Traded it for a cz75b omega

You're in trouble if fending off an attacker with one hand while drawing with the other, or injured.
Damn handy if you gotta drop a deuce also.... but I dont agree with open carry.
Why not?
