I just ordered a custom shoulder rig from Camano Ridge Custom Leather. I'm basically getting this one with Amber Ostrich skin inlay. 4 weeks lead time. Nice guy and provides lots of options.

Alien Gear Holsters are great. Check out their web page and I'm sure you will find what you are looking for.

I have the aliengear IWB for my Glock 27, its nice and comfortable although not very breath able. I think their OWB holster would get caught with my rifle though.

Thanks John but after trying my friends shoulder holster I decided it wasn't comfortable enough for the full size glock 20.

Seems the G20 is difficult to find a good holster for me. I have three, Galco 1129wc, an uncle miles plastic one that slips over the belt and a small yaqi(?) style slider. This gun is so large it tends to pull the grip out and yes it catches on rifle and other stuff or the holster digs into the hip (unncle Mike's) .  Shoulder may be the best for this beast.

I considered the shoulder holster but for me I found it to be uncomfortable after borrowing my friends shoulder holster.

Can you give me further input on the Galco 1129wc?
I like the galco, fits good, more gun coverage than a yaqi, kind of a pancake style. No security strap.

I'm thinking for out hunting it would be best with a thigh setup.

I'll be using mine for my full size XD .45. carrying that on my hip isn't an option.

Yeah, this is tough. I am leaning towards the thigh holster at this point but too bad there isn't anything local for me to try out.

:) I like this one http://www.desantisholster.com/THUMB-BREAK-SCABBARD
CArl

Is the holster locked in by a button? I clicked the link and it does say thumb break but no demo on how its held in the holster. I want something with a quick draw...

It has a snap on the strap.

and regular belt loops hold it to the belt it is a very natural position to shove the thumb break off as you grab the pistol.

I carry my G40, the big brother to the G20, in a Keinai chest holster.  Im a large fellow and find it very comfortable to were all day.  It doesn't interfear with my pack or my bino harness.  Might be an option.
