    I only wear one when I have to attend a Christmas party at Nakatomi Towers.

    I still have one, a Galco rig. I have used shoulder rigs from time to time in the past. Used one while working plain clothes while doing pro-longed stake outs in vehicles at times. Don't use a shoulder rig much anymore, though from time to time I bring it out just for grins.

    I have also been told they are nothing but a hindrance if you are hands on with someone in a scuffle. I would only wear one if I had a physical condition that completely made me incapable of carrying AIWB or 3 o’clock IWB.

    Custom, hand made local Amish leather. Measured and fabricated specifically for me and the gun. Paid nearly a third for what some of the other large companies charge and got a lot better quality.

    What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms!

    I still use the one I purchased in the late '70s.

    I just bought a Galco (it was cheap) I don't have a gun that fits in it. I know now that it's for a H&K P7 I don't see myself buying one of them anytime soon. Might try to retro fit something in it someday.

    Contact info?

    Given the state of affairs, I am considering shoulder-rig for a full sized back-up.

    I would appreciate any other info, and experience that fellow poofers have with shoulder-rigs.
