Anyone use a Galco Shoulder Holster?
I have a chance to get a new/unused Galco Jackass Shoulder Holster rig for around $90 anyone have any experience with these holsters? This rig is molded for the square trigger guard, and my 5906 is the rounded model, so I am not sure if this would affect the hold on the firearm. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've had a Jackass rig for several years now. Though I haven't used many shoulder rigs and don't wear one very often, I must say the my Jackass rig is more comfortable than my Miami classic was. The load balances well and doesn't cut into my shoulders.

I have two of them and like to use them during cold weather. For a production holster you can't beat'em.

I used one for years with my Sig 220. It was comfortable, and I liked being able to put on one thing and have all my gear - gun, spare mags, cuffs, and badge clipped to the strap. I never used the tie down thing and never felt I needed it. I drifted away from it, but I may go back to using it some day.

I use a Jackass rig all of the time; it's especially good for long drives as I can wear it over a t-shirt and under an unbuttoned long or short sleeve shirt, or a vest. I've driven cross country many times and have never had a problem. This is the only kind of shoulder holster I'll use.

I like the "Jackass" rig better than their "Miami Classic" rig. I don't know why. It's something about how the holster is designed I guess. It just rides better than the MC holster and you can adjust it a little differently so that it is easier to get to for us "robust" fellers.

Me too.........
I have three Galco shoulder holsters and am happy with each of them. The jackass is fine and so is the miami classic. I would really wait until I could get one FOR MY GUN, not something close unless you can test it for fit before you buy it. I use them for a Heavy G20 fullsize 10mm w/16 rds of ammo in the mag and gun as well as two 15 rd. mags on the other side. The Miami is used for my 1911's. One jackass is for my Sig P220. NO complaints, however I got them at a discount and paid $75.00 for the most expensive rig. $90.00 seems steep if not for the gun I have. I'd look on this forum and/or search E-bay. Hope this helps..........Sprefix

I bought a Jack *** when Galco first reintroduced it years ago, I've worn it a lot over the years and have found it satisfactory. I don't wear it too much anymore, since I started going back to the gym a few years ago my chest has gotten too big to reach comfortably across, the weapon's not a problem but the mag pouch is a bit difficult to grab. If you're sizeable in the torso that might be something to consider.
