How many of you use a shoulder holster for EDC

[thescoutranch]

Just like the question asks; how many of you regularly use a shoulder holster system for your EDC, and why did you choose a shoulder holster?.
If you do use a shoulder holster, what brand do you use and with which firearm?

I almost exclusively use the Galco horizontal system for my Glock with the double mag pouch on the other side with one spare mag and a tactical flashlight in place of the second mag.

Not a fan of shoulder holsters or being around people drawing from shoulder holsters. Glad it works for you.

Just not my thing.

I find them very comfortable, especially for driving.

It won't always replace a belt holster, but its a great option at times.

Would like to try it but I mostly wear just a t-shirt.

Looks like a quick cross draw with good practice and dynamics.

I currently do not but I did for over a year. It's quite comfortable with the right setup. I carried a bersa thunder 380 in a shoulder rig for about 12 months. Some no name place off of amazon sold it to me.

I would wear it over the tshirt, but that's me...

If I have to tuck my shirt in, I use a shoulder holster.

I've tried a few. I prefer them to belt carry. Recently, this has become my favorite carry method.....

A leatherworking friend recently sent me a shoulder holster that he made. He wanted me to try it and let him know what I thought. I really wish he had sent it in the fall so I could have tried it out over the winter. I have worn it around the house some and it's pretty comfortable.

It carries vertical but pivots forward for the draw. I'll try to get some pictures posted. It's really a very nice design. It is for a 5 inch 1911 and the off side holds 2 magazines. I've been carrying my old beat up AMT Hardballer in it.

I used to wear a shoulder rig when living up north, but switched to belt when came back south. Back then, I was using a Bianchi Scorpio or Silent Partner rig to carry either a PPK or J or K frame. When I came back south, the heat under the leather, as well as the cover garment, made for miserable conditions.

That said, now that my hips and back have gotten worse over the last year or so, I find myself gravitating back to my old shoulder rigs. Before any of you say it, I understand that the same weight is on on the same joints, but it feels better for some reason. We will see what this coming summer brings...

Besides, pulling out those old rigs brought back some good memories. I think the best solution for me is to just stay in my recliner, in air conditioning, with a pistol in one side pocket, and a remote control in the other.

I have a Andrew's Leather monarch shoulder holster that I use with a Sig P938. Since I'm sweeping/flagging anyone behind me, I don't keep one in the chamber. It's very comfortable and currently my go to, even if it sacrifices ability for comfort.

Andrews Leather does make an excellent shoulder holster. Supple leather. Straps are wide where they are on top of the shoulders. Sam is a great guy to work with.

I'm guessing you meant to say "since I'm not sweeping/flagging anyone"

I just don't like them unless I had a vertical holster and then maybe only if I was wearing a sport coat or something all day. They just never appealed to me.

Maybe his is the horizontal type, and they do sweep/flag everyone behind him.

He said he knows it sweeps people behind him and he don't mind carrying one in the chamber. Thats what kind of threw me off a little.

He said he "doesn't" keep one in the chamber.

It's not sweeping if it's in a holster...

Had some bozo while I was in plain clothes, but with badge and handcuffs visible tell me I shouldn't carry in a shoulder holster because the pistol pointed at people. It's like people don't know how a firearm works.

As long as it ain't a p320 lol

The James Bond is strong in this thread. I wouldn't mind a shoulder holster, but wouldn't want a cheap one, and justify the expense of a really nice rig.

I respectfully disagree. I have been in line at a store with a guy in front with shoulder holster and the muzzle was pointed damn near straight back at me.
he was wearing one similar to this
