    Nope. If you're looking for the best shoulder holster ever made (in my opinion), look no further than the Alessi Bodyguard.

    Here is the best collection of shoulder holster reviews I've ever seen, if you're interested:

    After calling around, it appears he's not making them for the public for several more years (doing LE/military orders only for a while)....so there's a min of a 2+ year backlog.

    IMHO shoulder holsters are of limited utility.

    I agree, but watching those mid-80s "Miami Vice" reruns casts a fleeting spell over you.

    I have to agree with TonyF on this, I usually only wear them during the coldest of winter months when wearing a heavier coat which my impede the draw from an IWB, or when driving across the state.

    Mainly just during the long drives, I find it is more comfortable when seated for loing periods of time and more accessible when seated.

    For general every day carry I find them to be more of a burden than anything.

    And after reviewing the selection from Planet Holser: http://stores.ebay.com/PLANET-HOLSTER I would advise against it, the nylon holsters don't hold up very well IMHO, and your better off going with a holster from a more...reputable holster maker.

    IF you do decide to go that route I'd suggest Galco or Desantis or any other premier holster maker.

    A good IWB or OWB with a sturdy belt fits the bill most of the time for most people. But it largely depends on your daily activities, choice in carry gun and your overall build. Also, some folks find even good IWB or OWB holsters uncomfortable.

    So long as people don't start spouting the many false conceptions about shoulder rigs, no one will have to deal with another epic post of mine (you know you're all tired of them by now).

    I have to admit that made me chuckle.

    I drive a 90 mile round trip for work every day -- in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 MR. I'm 5'10" and 130 -- and I barely squeeze in the stock racing seats. Wearing a belt holster for more than 5 minutes is impossible. Most of the time I take mine off and put it back on as I'm getting out. The shoulder holster is a perfect solution (but I only have a Bodyguard for my snubbie, and I don't feel like ordering one for my P7).

    You have a specific need. I would guess most people don't.

    I was just generalizing.

    They are many disadvantages specific to shoulder holsters for daily carry.

    I think that's the point where most could agree.

    Uh oh Tony, we kinda agreed again, is the sky falling?
