Looking for shoulder holster

[sipowicz]

I'd like to pick up a shoulder rig for my DS when doing security work in a suit. I have an Alessi bodyguard for my 442 and it works fine, but I like the type pictured that uses an elastic strap on the off side instead of an ammo holder..I find the type that hangs on both sides shifts a bit with a heavier gun. The model in the pic is around 120 bucks from nevada gunleather but the maker got lousy reviews.

I've heard good things about Bianchi 9R-1. They are no longer made but can be picked up online auction sites or in the classifieds, I just got one for $60.

I like the Bianchi 209. S&W sold a similar holster once upon a time.

bianchi makes a good shoulder holester. the elestic strap on the right side has a mag. case, or it can be taken off. it is comfortable. just took it out yesterday. already flannel shirt and vest season. by next week they're calling for 16 deg. the high. if you need a item # i can IM it to you.

the ae nelson looks nice but it doesn't have the elastic off side strap....and 180 is a bit steep...

the old safariland company made a nice upside down shoulder rig with the elastic strap. I have one for a 2 1/2 in k- frame but they made them for j- frames too. trying ebay or gunbroker should net you one. they show up quite often.

I would try and find one that you can easily change the elastic strap on.
I've found in time they stretch out and lose their elasticity.

The Bianchi 9R worked great for my M66 2.5 inch. Can double as a belt rig.

Check out K.L. Null Holsters.

Galco Executive? Not exactly what you are looking for, as the elastic clips to the belt/pants vs. coming around the arm and back, but I have it and like it a lot.
