Default Need information for a harness for a shoulder holster

I recently picked up a “Jack Ass” brand inverted shoulder holster, that fits a 2” – 2 1/2” K frame. This is the holster Only. I attempted to make a figure 8 harness using 1” nylon webbing; to say the final product was less than stellar is an understatement.

So, my question is, can anyone offer a suggestion for having a harness made, or where I can buy an off the shelf harness? As this will be an occasional use holster, I don’t need anything fancy.

Thanks all,

Fred

Old Bear from your description all you have is the Jack *** holster and your DIY cloth straps that didn't pan out too well. You will need a leather harness for the left shoulder to attach the holster to and also the cloth straps that go around to the right shoulder. Post a photo of your Jack *** inverted holster, they were all basically the same design except for some variation of the attachment points to the harness. I might have a right hand harness and straps that will work.

Photo attached. If you have something that would work, please P.M. me. There were several at the Galco website that looked as if they may work.

Thanks All.

I would search Galco's website. They have complete rigs as well as straps, holsters, mag holders, etc. separately also.
Or give em a call.
I have some of their shoulder rig stuff and I really like 'em.

You may want something (a New York reload?) on the other side of the rig, to balance the weight, so that the harness does not slip over to one side (the heavy side), because that becomes uncomfortable.
Richard Gallagher formed Jackass late '60s and renamed it Galco in the late 70s. Same company.
