Looking for a holster as we speak….

Water buffalos on meth are the worst. They're right up there with cocaine bears.

When cocaine bears are afoot, I carry my .500 Magnum in a vertical shoulder holster !
Yes, winter carry is my favorite.

That would be good in my neighborhood! I've got all those cocaine bear and crack water buffalo hotels up at 31 and Thompson near me.

I bet that would get through a Carhartt

I love a shoulder holster in winter. Who’s with me?

I have always wanted a shoulder holster, but have never been able to find a rig that fit me well.

I've ****** away a bunch of money on different variants.

I keep kicking around the idea of getting one custom made, but have no leads on a good "tailor".

Its my favorite way to carry but I don't often do it because of sweeping on the draw, and you can't practice with it in a class. BUT if i am travelling, its my favorite carry for sitting in a car. Most comfortable, most balanced way for me.

I was at a private range one day shooting steel at 50 with a 44mag.

A guy stepped up beside me and watched for a few rounds.

Then all the sudden I hear a BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.

About **** my pants!

He was shooting one of those (with a longer barrel if I recall correctly).

I thought the 44mag moved the steel pretty well. He made my 44mag look like a Daisy air gun! LOL

He was definitely good with it...

Will the Carhartt hoody also stop a 9mm? Maybe I can wear one of those until it gets really cold.

THE URBAN

Covert Level II or Level IIIA Bulletproof Hoodie with American Made Body Armor

Not a Carhartt but will stop a 9mm.

S&W 329PD for winter carry to defeat level 4 Carhartt's.

Loaded with 300 gr. Hornady so, it should do the trick. The blunt force trauma alone oughta change the bad guy's behavior.

The 329PD deters violence on both ends. So far as the bad guy is concerned, nobody wants to get shot with a .44 Mag. On the other hand, something has to absolutely positively need shooting to make it worth cranking a round off from that thing!

I'd like to see what you'd do if you ran into one!

Call animal control, unless it’s the weekend.

Cocaine bears have nothing on cocaine hippos...

Winter carry...unless it's really cold out, I wear a zippered vest most of the time because I can continue to wear it inside, upon arrival somewhere, and no one is bothered! That said, I prefer a cross-draw holster in the winter months...I can leave the vest half un-zipped, and still have fairly quick assess, and, again, no one is wiser. When in a vehicle, when the seat belt has your coat / vest typically pinned down over your firearm, I can still access it fairly easily from cross-draw from inside a half un-zipped vest.
Just my $0.02 worth... Stay toasty...!

I started using a shoulder holster around 1973 while still in the Navy working security, still have and use if I want to carry a PP. It was made by Safariland using a spring to hold the gun covered by leather. I have several custom ones made over the years for the 1911. I have a 'Monarch' Shoulder Rig by Andrews Custom Leather coming, used a friends this summer and it fit and stayed where I wanted it.
