Shoulder holster for the winter

[Mike Irwin]

I've got a Bianchi similar to the X-15, can't remember the specific model, though. It's a vertical, for a 4" N-frame S&W.

It's certainly different, and with my short torso I find that it hangs too far below my belt line.

Don't count Galco out, yet

"Jackass or Miami???? If I were buying it? Neither."

I actually agree with him completely.

Go with the Galco SS2 instead. It is basically an upgraded Miami Classic that has wide shoulder bands. Much more comfortable.

I'd forgotten about the SS2...

I usually carry in a smartcarry but with the cooler weather sometimes I switch to my Uncle Mike’s propak horizontal shoulder holster. I carry my SP101 very comfortably with it and Red Diamond had one of the lowest prices I found ( $44.99) and their shipping is real low. Quality and fit is top notch.

Mike Irwin does have a point-if you are short in the torso, the Miami is probably not going to fit all that well. I'm 6 ft/185 pounds, and wanted the classic for a driving rig. It fits me just fine and is comfortable to me with a Government model and two 8 round mags in the pouches. Just got back from a long trip and it worked for me. The straps were wide enough to distribute the weight without any discomfort at all, and I put a jean jacket over it which covered it up well enough that my buddies did not know.
