Howdy folks I am interested in starting to carry some in a shoulder rig. My current set up is glock 19 owb under jacket or button up shirt in the winter and then glock 19 iwb during the warmer months when I'm wearing a t shirt and shorts. I really like the idea of shoulder carry but I have not ever tried it. I like the fact I can carry an extra mag or two opp side and have the gun off my hip which frees up a lot of space for carrying my pocket knife on my belt instead of pocket or flashlight. Or more extra mags or anything really that I can add to carry more gear. I have been looking at the galco classic lite as it's only 80$ and I don't want to spend the 150$ on the Miami classic if I don't know I'll like this method. Are there any other rigs at better price points?

I am also interested in attempting shoulder carry, I do not like being hot though so I very rarely have a jacket on all the time. But I don't mind wearing a smaller jacket to conceal. I will be following this topic.

Yes I don't like wearing big heavy coats. I like to wear light jackets or just a pullover so I think a shoulder rig could be beneficial

allisji beat me to it. This is THE definitive discussion on shoulder holster carry. Anybody who intends to get a rig, or considering getting a rig, should read this: http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=31470

This one is my recent thread on a new affordable shoulder holster I recently bought: http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=87127.

My other rig is a Galco Miami Classic II, which is similar to the above, except that the magazines are carried horizontally, and on the new rig, they are carried vertically.
