Question about a shoulder holster
Unfortunately I may have the occasion to wear a suit in the near future. I normally carry IWB with a Crossbreed Supertuck. I have one for my Glock 22 and SW M&P 40. I never wear a tucked in shirt. When I wear a suit I will not have that option. I was looking for ideas on shoulder holsters or other ideas. I cannot purchase a new gun at this time.

Re: Question about a shoulder holster
I can't help with the shoulder holster, but I have carried my XD 45 in my supertuck many times while wearing a suit. I've always been afraid the clips would give me away, but other than that I haven't had any issues.
I'm not trying to steer you away from a shoulder rig (I'm interested in getting one myself), but until you get one, don't count your supertuck out. It'll do the job.

Remember, you can't take your jacket off no matter how warm it gets. For everyday, business work you are much better off with a tuckable or pocket carry. Shoulder holsters are very good for driving and that's about it.
Also, Don Johnson had very well tailored suits and a very good cameraman when he wore his. If you are going to keep your jacket on, just stay with any good IWB

Re: Question about a shoulder holster
Good points all. I will stay with IWB as suggested. Again TY the Forum.

I do own and use a shoulder holster from time to time, but if you've never done it, you should really take the time to read THIS THREAD before you buy the holster:Matt78665 wrote:Unfortunately I may have the occasion to wear a suit in the near future.

I have never used a shoulder holster. From what I have read, they appear to be better for movie stars and TV shows than real life. All of the people I know who have tried shoulder holsters have switched to another method of carry.gfmun wrote:Remember, you can't take your jacket off no matter how warm it gets.

If I am going to keep my jacket on, I wear OWB.
