Shoulder Holsters. What's good?

[Sdtrax1]

In the market for my first shoulder rig. I hear leather is the best and expensive as well. I am just overwhelmed on all of the different manufacturers out there and would like to hear everyone's experiences and thoughts. Budgeting for $150 ish to start for my Ruger SR40

I got an Alessi because they're in my backyard. Good customer service, and most people speak highly of their quality. Good reputation. I carry a full size 1911 and two spare mags easily concealed. Its the only shoulder holster I have experience with, but I would recommend it. From what I hear Galco is another good company.

I have one from Tagua Gunleather and like it. (I am a dealer of their products and purchased one for myself as part of my initial order, not letting that bias affect my response, but I haven't used any others.) It is light and not unwieldy. I do have and use four of Tagua's holsters and their quality is very good. They offer a leather and a nylon version of shoulder holster, can't say anything about the nylon.

While I like Tagua gun leather and do own a couple of outside the waistband, I have a Fist #70 vertical for the 1911 with two spare mags.

I have a couple shoulder rigs. I like the Galco VHS for my 1911. It's offers a cleaner draw and feels more natural to grab the grip with your palm down than palm facing your side with a horizontal rig.

To meet your budget, look at Galco Miami Classic or Classic II. Just under 150 bucks.
