Got My New BHL Shoulder Holster

[jimsouth]

Have yet to fit it to my frame; but it appears the adjustments will make it fairly easy. Loosen all swivels , etc. Adjust strap length & then when it feels most comfortable, just tighten up what needs tightening ( Maybe some thread lock ? ) - see how it goes for a day or two. Certainly well made. At first ( at unpacking ), it reminded me of some medieval hernia truss; but I now understand the extra adjustments. Horizontal holster ( Firestar .45 ). Any larger .45, I would have ordered a vertical holster.

Got a link to a picture of it anywhere?

If it's a crossover rig, having someone to help center the crossover point is helpful. And don't forget most rigging allows some amount of height adjustment for the holster; sometimes raising or lowering it an inch or so makes a noticeable difference.

In my experience, even small adjustments to the rigging can make big differences in comfort, so it helps to spend some time playing with it until it all fits comfortably.

It's the double shoulder BH7D - same color - Russet. No tanker strap - too much of a give away. Have the holster height adjusted - still need to adjust the two magazine pouches height. Anyway - he did a beautiful job - leather always softens - loosens up after it's worn and goes through it's flex period.

I checked the web site; looks like their prices are reasonable too.

Looks like it will be real nice post a pic when you can

Looks nice, but I wonder about the exposed muzzle; any time I've shoulder carried, my armpits have proven to be more heavily 'linted' that I'd ever imagined, and I would worry the barrel will get 'stuff' in it.
