I could never get comfortable with the horizontal rigs, so I had Jim M. at FIST make one of his model 70 rigs for my 645 years ago. It is a vertical "pull through" design with nothing to unsnap on the draw, you just pull through and begin to rotate and it breaks the snap on the drawstroke...love it. Unexpected benefit was it works with a cocked and locked government model just as well (but the picture is my beloved 645)...

I have never actually tried one of these but it appears to be the best designed vertical shoulder holster I have seen.

Yes, identical to a Galco

Now that I've got the classy leather, how about going further with a set of Pau Ferro Hogues?

Can y'all give some guidance on shoulder holsters? I get they're not "perfect" but I can definitely see their utility/usefulness. Sadly, I admit I know jack shit about them.

Any advantage to the Miami Classic over the Miami Classic II? Any knowledge y'all can impart is appreciated, as these things ain't exactly cheap.

Now, moar shoulder holster action plz... :-)

I've had shoulder holsters but admittedly used them infrequently. The usual scenarios -- long drives, etc. The Alessi Bodyguard is the MC done right. No comparison. It just drapes better and keeps the grip where it needs to be. Plus, you can get the mag carrier to be 90 degrees rotated so the mags don't point down; they point to centerline. Much easier to reach.

ETA: I did get mine from the "Lou Alessi still alive" era, so IDK about today. There's always ebay.

I got some nice wood for my 645, but I don't remember where I got them from.
