Double shoulder holster, 29 and 1911

[crsides]

My son wants a double shoulder holster for a 4" model 29 and a full size Colt 1911. Anyone have a lead on where to get something like this? I searched the net and the only thing I can find like this is for two small autos.

thanks

I think that's a job for a custom maker. There are several good ones
right here on the forum.

Bianchi at least used to make a rig that you could wear two holsters. Most people used the off hand side for a magazine or speedloader carrier, but I've seen people use it for two pistols . . .

Edit: I guess they still do. Instead of buying a mag holder, you just buy a left (or right) handed holster . . .

Model X16 Agent™ Shoulder Holster System, Unlined - The Safariland Group

Edit: I know it says Safariland on the link, but when you open it, it's a Bianchi holster. I had/have the first generation of this system. Carried a Model 66 with speedloaders, and later bought a Sig 226 holster with mag carriers. Nice system . . .

Build it Yourself

You may buy a DeSantis shoulder harness, then individually purchase the holsters you need, specifying left or right hand. Adding them to the harness is easy provided you know the difference between a screwdriver and a hole in the ground.

With thousands of individual gun model available, you will not find an off-the-shelf shoulder rig assembled for the two guns needed.

I have used Bianchi/Safariland shoulder holsters for various revolvers/autos - medium & large frames - and would not hesitate to recommmend the X16.

Holy cow! I hope your son is built like an oak tree! That’s a lot of iron to lug around.

I can’t help with a vendor but I am pretty sure you could buy a couple of used shoulder holsters (RH & LH, of course) here or there and have a custom harness made up that uses both of the off-the-shelf holsters. You might look around for old Safariland 100s and 101s. (I hope my memory is right on the model numbers. ) Those were nice holsters and mine were lined with their “orthopedic elk,” whatever that is.

I suspect eventually your son will lose interest in this idea, but in the meantime I hope he has fun with it.

Andrews leather can make one for you.

I WOULD CHECK WITH LEFTY LEWIS @ BELL CHARTER OAK CUSTOM HOLSTERS. HE'S VERY INNOVATIVE AND TALENTED. A CHALLENGE LIKE THIS MAY APPEAL TO HIM. I HAVE BEEN WELL SATISFIED WITH HIS PRODUCTS.....

HE IS ALSO ONE OF OUR FORUM MEMBERS......

Second for Andrews Leather.

You may want to try Andrew's Leather. I have used his holsters for years and they are excellent.

Charlie, I hope your son locates the rig he wants. If he does, I really hope he doesn’t fall in a lake when he's got it on. Talk about sinking like a rock.

As pointed out, the Bianchi and Galco harnesses traditionally have the off side setup for magazines, drop pouches, cuff case, or plain belt tie-down

There would be no stopping you from putting a LH holster in that same location.

The entire rig should be able to be ordered off the shelf

Anyone remember the old article on concealment?

Don’t forget the original- Chic Gaylord.
Charlie, your son must be built like Jack Reacher-the book , not the movie version.

As mentioned before,Galco offers both r/l hand holsters for their Miami Classic and VSH systems.Go to their web site and look.Optics Planet will have the best prices.

 

[Rammer Jammer]

Pretty sure you can find them advertised I comic books next to the x-ray glasses!

That's an idea that probably won't be to practical. You can always just buy a lh holster to attach to any rig.

Thanks guys

I had a Galco Miami Vice Shoulder holster set for my S&W 645 and got a left hand holster to fit S&W 1076 and was in business with a comfortable double heavy gun rig. I did not wear it often but it was more comfortable with 2 pistols than with 1 and the magazine holder.
