Looking for feedback on shoulder holsters
I’ve always liked carrying a full size auto in a shoulder holster and sometimes it’s the most comfortable way to carry one. I’ve done enough carrying on a leg holster to know that this is not a car friendly way of carrying. There are times that I got seat belts snagged and the gun slammed against steering wheels and doors and it’s just not that friendly. Out in the open on the field a leg holster is great, but people forget that you need extra clearance when moving through hallways and around things when you are carrying in this manor. I had a fellow Cop friend that told me that he had a buddy tear a Blackhawk holster right off the mount by running after a bad guy and doesn’t use that style of holster anymore. For driving in a car, ankle holsters can be very practical, but walking or running with them is not.
I have been trying to find vertical horizontal holsters, but they seem to not be available as much. I ordered a Bulldog shoulder holster and even though the picture said it was a vertical the box said Horizontal and then I found out that Bulldog doesn’t make the vertical kind anymore. I spoke to someone at Elite Survival systems and they told there was a lawsuit against several other companies about this type of shoulder holster. Blackhawk holsters are one of my favorite even though I do not use them exclusively. There is a Blackhawk Serpa holster that has a find locking system, but still don’t like this way of carrying. If anyone can tell me where I can find a good vertical shoulder rig, I’m all ears.
