Black Hills Leather, bikini, shoulder rig

I didn't like muzzle sweeping everyone behind me at the grocery store.

Leather seems to be more substantial than my Galco, fittings are good quality, holster fits the CCO well.

Seems comfortable and well designed. Tie downs are integrated into the holster and mag pouches.

Haven't gotten it completely adjusted yet, but you get the idea.

We'll see how it works, and I'll report back after a few weeks.

That is a great looking rig w/ a jacket or sport coat. We are in Texas though, in a few months it will be WAY to hot.

you think?

Ive been interested in shoulder holsters...but it seems most of the good ones secure the gun about where your picture shows.

If I'm going to carry a gun that low, I might as well just wear a regular holster and save myself the trouble of wearing the bra strap....

Those are my thoughts on shoulder holsters anyway.

In the picture above I don't have it properly adjusted yet.

I'm working on getting it adjusted correctly, and it's already riding higher than my Adams pancake OWB.

Stay tuned

That is a nice looking rig. How is the draw? Also, does it stay snug? I have a couple of the cheap Uncle Mike shoulder rigs, but have been thinking about upgrading to something like that. I think I could cover it with a regular shirt during the summer rather than a jacket, but it would need to not bounce around too much. I like the looks and would enjoy the extra room around my waist!

I have a Miami Classic rig, and it carries the gun pointed backwards, and the whole thing sits a bit higher than that.

With a horizontal position it will be higher. I keep thinking I'll try that Miami Classic sometime. I actually wouldn't mind it riding that low so it doesn't feel like it's in my arm pit. Even in these pictures it looks like it rides a bit higher than any of my belt holsters.

I've sent the holster back to have a tie down installed similar to the mag pouches so the gun will ride a little higher.
