I applaud your choice of a Glock 29, but my personal experience is that a shoulder holster gathers a lot of dust. I have a Galco Miami and haven't used it in years. Shoulder carry sounds good at first, but gives way to belt options. The Miami works ok, but is a pain in the rear and never gets used when I have belt/IWB options.

We have a Galco half harness somewhere in the house that gets worn maybe once a year if its lucky. Usually if I'm wearing athletic wear and a belt is impractical.  It only carries a small, light weight .38 Special. Honestly I'd rather throw the gun in my pocket. As to Johnny Rebel's comment I'm a pretty fit guy and I still hate the feeling of a gun in my arm pit. Besides, who wants to flag their brachial artery when transitioning the weapon from the holster to addressing the threat?  :bdid:

I might feel different if it had the belt clips or maybe a magazine on the other end to balance the weight out. But then again, I don't NEED a magazine on the other side of my belt (though usually one is there) in order for my pants to feel balanced. The only way I see myself using this is if Miami Vice ever calls me for an interview or I get a hip/waist injury and carrying on my belt is impractical.  :twocents:

Nice looking rig there Pman....

The inlay over the pistol and the mag is ostrich skin. It cost me $140 or so with shipping and took a month.

Galco "Miami Classic".

A shoulder or cross draw holster may save your hindend some day if you ever need to draw from the seated position. Especially in a vehicle, right handed persons carrying on the strong side actually have to lean towards the threat at the driver side window to draw.

I have a shoulder holster that I've been wearing for 40 yrs.  I got it for the trapline as I ran water lines on rivers and spent all day jumping in and out of the canoe in waders and a belt holster just doesn't work with waders.  It also works better with a backpack.  Mine is marked S&W Model 4334 a spring loaded break front and worked well with my Model 34 and 13 Smiths, 4" Charter Arms and Taurus 41 Tracker.  When I was working the Seattle rail yards it was out of the way climbing rail cars and getting in and out of the truck.  A belt holster used to want to drag my pants down until they got uncomfortable on long hikes.

I was hunting coyotes near the MX border in AZ and the warden down there suggested I start packing a handgun so I picked up a Glock 19 and a paddle holster and that has proven to be quite comfortable but again with a pack with a waist belt a shoulder holster would be better.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

Love mine.

That's the one I ended up ordering. It changed from 1 week to 6-8 weeks delivery, so I cancelled, and ordered from another company (same holster)

BTW, comments from others have strongly recommended this company for holsters.  I should have it Monday :tup:

Precisely why I use the bra holster!  :yike:
