Does /k/ use shoulder holsters?
If so, what has your experience with them been like?
>>29498139
I like them more than belt holsters.
quicker to throw on, no need to thread belt loops,
can conceal larger handguns more comfortably,
can draw quickly sitting or standing,
only downside:
>hey anon why not take your jacket off, aren't you hot?
>no shut up.
>>29498139
They are genuinely, no exaggeration, fedoras.
Like fedoras, there's nothing inherently wrong with them. They serve a small purpose, they generally work properly at that purpose.
But everyone around you will think you're the biggest fucking faggot and if you have even one non autistic cell in your body you're going to regret your decision to ever wear one.
If you are pure autism however they're the perfect compliment to your Guy Fieri (tm) blue flame bowling shirt and will offer you quick access to personal protection while you venture out of your bedroom to get your daily order of burger king chicken fries

As I said,
>If you are pure autism however they're the perfect compliment to your Guy Fieri (tm) blue flame bowling shirt
I use a shoulder holster for my metal framed hand guns. I keep my night stand gun in shoulder holster so I can throw it on when I'm in pajamas. I'd wear a shoulder holster for open carry if I ever felt the need to do so.
Gun store fag here...
>Get my newest gun and want it as my new EDC
>The holster I want is backordered online
>Fuck it, I'll buy this crappy fabric one at my store for 20 bucks
>It's the most uncomfortable and unbalanced shit I've ever seen
>If you wear a t-shirt it rises above your collar and wears into your skin
Yeah, I know, I've never worn the nice leather ones. But the fabric ones are a nightmare to wear.

I use a cheap-ass Falco shoulder holster when I CC, since concealment>draw speed up in Canada. It works well. The only person who's noticed was a sharp-eyed LGS employee when I was wearing an Arcteryx jacket, so the stretchy part printed a bit. And because I didn't get a quality holster, just a one-sided one, it does drag on my shoulder after a long work day. But I like it. It's comfy for jobs like mine, where I'm in and out of a chair a lot.

they are a holster for a specific thing. Also it's the only really comfortable or effective way to CC a duty pistol or bigger while also being an easy way to CC (inb4 pocket carry) while in business casual.
>>29498480
do you think you could wear under a button down shirt, whether it be buttoned or not.
>>29500814
unbuttoned certainly
buttoned you'd need a compact or smaller gun and a larger size shirt; a fitted shirt would print like hell
also it wouldn't work with the buttoned shirt tucked in
>>29498139
I have a Galco VHS with a P226 holster for it. Very nice piece of gear, but literally no time or place to wear it. I don't live in Miami either.
>>29498355
Do you also sip hot chocolate in those pajamas you fucking faggot. Just grab the god damn gun you don't need to be Miami vice at 3am when you hear a 'noise'
>>29498162
This
It's the only realistic way for me to CC my 1911. Only works in the colder months here unless I want to look like Crockett from Miami Vice.
>>29500977
He probably sleeps naked and wants the extra mags with him.
>>29498139
very comfortable, I like them more than IWB. Plus you get the option to carry bugger full sized pistols, and if youre sitting down a lot its a quicker draw. Only downsides are
>will feel weird at first, picture a back pack without the pack. Just having the straps will feel off
>have to wear a jacket all the time
>can get tangled easily, buy a good quality (expensive) brand
>usually in that case you have to build it yourself
IMO everyone should at least try it. Don't listen to >>29498174
anyone that goes to that extreme for what another person does is either a gun grabber, a fudd or an asshole. Probably all three
>>29498430
You cc in Canada?
>>29498139
Yup.
Better in the colder months than the warmer months, unless you have some sort of jacket you can or do wear all year.
I suspect they may work well for women too, they can get away with a light shawl in the summer, which as long as it can't be seen through shouldn't really print, and it's a hell of a lot better than purse carry.
Be prepared to spend a bit though, a basic nylon one might not be the most comfortable, but a nice leather one (that may also actually be custom made) is a dream, but you're going to be looking at a pretty big fee for a holster.
These would be pretty good if you had to wear a lab coat too, I'd imagine.
>>29498139
Shoulder holsters are the fucking best, man.
The only thing to watch out for is wether they have a strap to retain the gun or not.
I need to get some leather and make a strap to make sure my Jericho stops coming loose and almost falling out.
Other than that they're the fucking best man. Comfy as fuck, good places for ammo, and you can CC damn near anything you want.
The downside is that you can't use them in hot climates very easily.
>>29501516
see you, space cowboy
>>29498461
Your gun is always pointed at something like the scenario you described
>IWB apendix? Artery
>IWB 5oclock? Artery
>OWB 3oclock? lower leg
Pretty much anytime you holster your weapon you point it at your self, the only difference is if you have a good holster and good you can generally consider it safe
>>29500996
>unless I want to look like Crockett
>not wanting to look like Crockett
>not a Faggot
Pick one
>>29498139
still waiting on my shoulder holster for my bersa thunder cc to come in
can't wait
also fuck jackets, going to wear it under a loose button down shirt since I don't have to dress formal/business formal for work
>>29501306
You'd be surprised how many people up here do.
>>29498162
>hey anon why not take your jacket off, aren't you hot?

I where a jacket year round anyway, so I already do that

The RCMP would like to ask you if they could please shoot your dog.
What's a good shoulder holster for a makarov?
so I'm a skinny ass fucker 5'7 130 pounds you think I could CC an M9 with one using the right jacket/over shirt? or would I need a retardedly over sized cover garment?
>>29498390
>you will never save Mike
>>29507120
it shouldn't be hard
6'1" 170lbs for reference
>>29502378
>>29502406
It's not got any of the correct stuff but hell, it's still my "space cowboy" gun having watched that.
>>29507120
Yes. That is the whole reason I use a shoulder holster. My Jericho is large enough that I couldn't CC it without one.
I don't get why everyone is saying shoulder holsters are better for skinny guys. I'm a skinny guy and I sometimes carry my CZ75 in my shoulder holster, which is uncomfortable if I'm concealing it but not so bad for open carry when I'm out shooting or camping or whatever. It is also not the most concealable considering that I'm skinny (6'3" 165lbs) so avoid baggy clothes like the plague. I find the gun hits you in the ribs in a very uncomfortable way, yet I carry my full-size USP IWB all the time relatively comfortably, and assuming my shirt is long enough, relatively well concealed too. I have a Galco Miami II holster btw.
>>29505626
Ooooh, tough luck, RCMP, I don't own a dog.
>Implying they won't just no-knock and use a tactical slingshot to cave my sleeping skull in with flashbangs, then cry that they need more "patrol carbines"
Aren't shoulder holsters the best when wearing a suit?
>>29507580
Not necessarily.
Anything with a coat, or, if you feel like it, just plain wearing the damn thing and OCing.
>>29507166
You're a big guy
I use a glaco shoulder rig... Jack ass CC full size 1911... 6'0 290.. I ride a bike.

>>29508312

>shoulder holster
sounds about right.
>>29508383
kohls actually. it is pretty light. doesn't get hot even in warm weather.
light flannel shirts and windbreakers are other casual warm weather options.
>>29508366
oh yeah, I remember that. if I ever see you I'll wave.
>>29508312
>>29508396
I've got the same holster. fits a Hi Power too.
I keep it a bit looser so it's not all up in my pits.
>>29501516
Where did you get that holster.
Thinking of getting me a space cowboy gun too.
>>29498139
>>29498390
In my experience you definetlly get what you pay for holsterwise.

Any idear what holster that is? I have a spike spiegel baby deagle that I have into a safariland paddle meant for a glock atm
>>29507495
I personally find pressure on my waistline for extended periods unbearable these days due to GI issues so pocket or shoulder and some forms of iwb are what work for me.
>>29508312
I use a galco to cc a model 27 Smith myself. Combo of a few different parts. I also ride, r1200gs 2008.
>>29508589
What holster do you use for your cz? I've got a pre b 85 I've been thinking of carrying more in a shoulder rig.
I'm 5'11" 175ish wet. Granted I live in new England but I carry in the shoulder rig year round. I just throw a shot sleeve button down over the top and keep it in buttoned. As stated above, it's a n frame Smith. In one instance where I had close contact with strangers and a police officer from a car accident all I did was button literally one button to keep the shirt from blowing open on the side of the highway, no one noticited and if they did they didn't say anything. I personally prefer vertical holsters.

>constantly reaches for it to readjust it

Only one magazine? In a UCW(Urban Combat Encounter) situation you're fucked
>>29511333
Czeched, anyways. It's a Falco shoulder holster. Took them a little under a month to get the rig to me from Europe. I have no complaints for it, I'd buy from them again in a heartbeat. I'm actually tempted in getting an IWB one from them.
Can someone recommend a chest holster? HK USP 45

Belgian surplus from sportsmansguide.
It was twenty bucks.
>>29511333
See above.
>>29511860
I understand this, and eventually intend to fix it, but I only have two at the moment anyways.
Hell, the second is a gun show mag, and I'm not even sure it was meant for CZ pattern handguns anyways.
It won't lock the slide back.
>>29508494
Oh, also, you should definitely get it. The Jewish spess magik is fucking awesome.
>>29498139
Yes, very comfortable
If you're a fat piece of shit who can't fit into pants, then it's all you got. The only way to wear one and not be a piece of shit is being some kind of detective or secret service agent.
>>29498139
only if you wear a suit ALL the time or are wearing heavy jackets, with more emphasis on the winter jacket.
IWB holsters work on suits if you're not trying to fit into pants that barely fit you.
>>29498139
I've always found that vertical shoulder holsters tend to conceal better, especially if you're wearing lighter clothing.

a good shoulder holster is the best way to carry, but you have to dress around it more than say, an IWB

>>29513499
Anon delivars! Ty. I also have a mystery czesque mag that works in my spike spiegel baby deagle but doesn't lock the slide back. I always assumed it was tangfolio or eaa crap as I didn't associate quality or function with either for quite some time.
