Anyone use a Shoulder Carry Rig? Just scored one.

[rcm192]

Well a customer dropped off a Glock on consignment the other day and had some extras. Amongst them was an older but like new leather Galco model Jackass Rig for a glock-dual mag pouch. I asked him if he would be interested in selling it separately....to my surprise he shrugged his shoulders and said "here take it! I have no use for it." I couldnt pass on that deal.

I told him I would sell them gun for him in a timely manner...I sold it by closing time that night. (it was a older G26 gen 2.5 "Defender Set 2 of 2" if you're curious).

I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to buy one. It seems pretty well made and I may try it out to see if it helps me maneuver behind the counter and around display pegs a little better. If not I guess I'll just have to lose a few pounds instead.

It actually came around in a good time frame along with my RCS warranty replacement AND my CHP renewal. Just thought it was an interesting way to try an new method of carry. Practical? Eh maybe, maybe not. I guess that'll depend on who you ask.

Here she is along side the RCS:

Galco makes some great stuff. I still use my shoulder rig in under the left arm carry during cold months or in a dress jacket.
Most comfortable form of carry IMO

I wore a shoulder holster for my daily carry last year. If concealing it under clothing wasn't an issue, it would be my primary method.

Don't those usually leave a loaded weapon pointing at anybody that happens to pass behind you? Not very nice to point loaded weapons at people.

They do. But if its concealed and the trigger is protected i think society will be ok.


On a side note i didnt know people were interested enough in these to pm me asking if i wanted to sell it! Lol!

This would go quite well with the suit thread that we have going on!

And I agree that society will be OK as well

is this for a glock 22 and do you think it would fit a big and tall guy?

Itll fit any of the 9/40/357 sig handguns. Its an open mouth holster. It will also fit full size mags. It says that the holster will accomodate individuals with up to a 52" chest. Im about a 46" I have no prob.

Don Johnson {Sonny Crockett} carried a Miami Classic like that.
So now ya just need a white coat.
All kiddin aside they are fine holsters and bet many have carried that way and never had a discharge. I think the public is safe

I've been thinking about picking up a Miami Classic II for long car trips. Seems like it would be the most comfortable and provide the quickest access to the weapon while seated in the car. Don't see much use for one day to day though.

 

[rcm192]

I wore it all day today under a button down, left unbuttoned. It was more comfortable than I expected it to be.

Makes me feel way more badass for wearing it haha. Pretty cool background to a particular holster. Thanks for sharing that.

I have 0 experience with a shoulder holster, so maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you draw without flagging half the room?

 

[rcm192]

Im thinking youd have to remove the gun and proceed to keep the muzzle pointed down while it travels across your pectoral area and then you would produce it in a forward motion (or toward which ever direction the threat/target is)


Thats my best assessment based off of the design of my holsters configuration. Im sure it may vary slightly based on design and the users body type.

I bought a Safariland shoulder rig about 1980 when I bought my S&W model 57. Personally I like that carry method for a heavy hunting revolver. I still use both during the deer season. Dave

Sometimes I use my Galco Miami Classic for my 2.5" bbl mdl 66 when I have to wear a jacket or blazer and usually when it's cold out.
