Looking for recommendations for a quality shoulder rig that won't break the bank

[Joe13]

So many options out there so I thought I would ask for recommendations.

I'm 6'1" and 260. Little more belly right now then normal but I'm guessing that's not permanent.

Would like to have a 1911 (possibly a G17) on my left side and 2 magazines on my right.

I realize you get what you pay for and I'm willing to save for what is right then get something I'm sorry I have and won't use but I'm not looking to spend $500 on a holster if possible.

As it's getting warmer I'm not sure this will be in the cards before fall but having a full size gun on me in a more comfortable position is higher on my mind as things get worse the closer to the election we get.

Thanks for any input!

I use a couple of these: https://gunfightersinc.com/spectre-shoulder-holster/

I'm not sure if that breaks the bank or not, but they are very well made and a lot of thought went into the harness and the draw angle of the holster.

It also doesn't require wearing a belt, if that's your thing. I typically wear it when driving on long trips with a shirt jacket for cover.

$295 for what I would want in the most basic finish. Looks like quality leather though.

$189 is around what I figured at least. Solid black is fine, I'm not going to be flashing it around.

And Yes, my preference would be a rig that doesn't need to be attached to my belt.

StyleMaster Express STYLE-EXP

Our Express STYLE™ differs from our standard STYLE by the omission of lining, brass connector, and hand boning. However, at one-third the cost of our standard STYLEMASTER™, it is superior to any shoulder rig on the market. The entire rig is constructed of best-quality holster leather. No soft...

Less expensive than Galco, and metal/leather connections instead of plastic.

I think you should spring the extra 5 bucks for the bright pink, it brings out your eyes.

I've got their tanker holster that I've been pretty happy with. I ended up buying a Gunfighters Inc chest holster for hunting instead so I can rock the HK USP45T with 45 super.

Have you ever used a shoulder holster? Specifically one for an all-steel duty rig. I never really liked them but still have one or two. What I'm trying to say is maybe try to borrow one and or get a nice used one.

Good point.

Maybe an Amazon special so I can send it back would be a good start…

Try that Keto low carb diet. That bubblegum works. Can't help with shoulder holster as I only have experimental type cheap shoulder holsters for experimenting carrying subgun sized guns.

I carry my Kimber Ultra Carry II and a couple other 1911's in a Galco Miami Classic shoulder rig. I found it for $89 barely used.

That's the problem lol - too many carbs since the beginning of the year

Less than 100 carbs a day is all it takes. I didn't change exercise or amount of food. Just reduced carbs. I'm amazed so far.
