Leather holsters, best looking?
Yes, I admit it, there have been times I have picked out a holster just in the same way that women pick out shoes for a night out on the town. I have some really nice shoulder holsters that I have picked up from Galco that I use when I go up to the mountains or go to the mall and have a heavy winter coat on. I really like carrying full size semi-autos but you really feel it when you carry for very long or have to sit in a car. We have a lot of Police Officers tell us they hate getting in and out of a car with some of their duty holsters because they ride up when they sit down. Police officers no longer just carry handcuffs, a gun, and a baton. They have radios, cells phones, tazers and more. Finding a way to make it more comfortable to carry a firearm is something that Galco leather has done.
Probable the most popular gun holsters out there is the Miami classic shoulder holster. This was probable Galco Holsters most famous image when the Miami Vice TV show was on the air. I see plenty of Federal Agents carrying the Sig 229 DAK and the Glock 19 in this type of holster and recently we had several detectives and special agents still sporting this type of shoulder holster. Most good shoulder holsters will be about $100 although you can get them much cheaper if you go with a nylon design. There are big differences in the shoulder support of a holster and some of the reviews about these in the past have been repeated by many of my peers. Some designs really cut into your neck and shoulders so you really have to put one on and make sure it works for you.
