Galco Shoulder Holster - Detective Special

NCBeagle · Dec 29, 2020

Found this used but nice condition Galco shoulder holster sitting on the “bargain bin” table at a gun shop here in Charlotte. Was not looking for a shoulder holster but could not pass it up for $25.00

I have tried many shoulder holsters and I am just not a big fan of them. It is quite possible that my body type bares much blame. I am barrel chested, so it is a pretty long reach for me to get to the handgun in a shoulder rig. I will say that the Galco harness is the most comfortable that I have tried and it is quite adjustable.

Nice find. I always thought Galco made a nice rig.

I have several Galco shoulder rigs for different model revolvers and pistols. Once properly adjusted they work very well for me. Winter here in Kansas so my daily attire is jeans, tshirt, Galco Vertical Shoulder holster w/629-2 Mountain Revolver and a heavy flannel shirt over the gun and holster.

Very nice score. I seldom wear a shoulder holster but I do have a couple of Galco rigs and they are reasonably comfortable if adjusted property. They seem to be well made and solid.

That's "only" a $115 holster (Classic Light), so you did pretty well, I'd say. I have a Miami Classic I bought years ago for a G20, I wish I had a holster for the straps that my M66-1 would fit. I did discover not long ago, my Ruger SR40c will fit the holster made for the G20 (which I no longer have), so all is not lost.

What gun shop was that, I might have to drive down and browse a little. I'm only about 40 minutes from downtown.

Well worth the money ($25.00), but with a little work and planing you can make a better one and use the straps.

It was on the table at Hyatt Guns. You might check out Beltway Gun and Pawn also, if you're out this way. Good selection of older Smiths and Colts.
