Anyone tried one of these "deep concealment shoulder holsters" from Gunner Security or a similar model? I'm debating between something like this and a tuckable IWB, realizing the tuckable would make a much faster presentation.

I personally would NOT (edit) use one but this one appears to be the same and is less expensive.

kdmill_1,

I still use a Kangaroo holster like Mike1951 gave reference to for ultra-deep concealment of a Smith 642. These style holster work well enough for their intended purpose, and you'll be surprised about how large a firearm you can conceal in them. They are a great addition to your box o' holsters.

To be more specific, this holster is great if you:

- don't have a GREAT tuckable holster that really conceals,

- need to dress up a little without a sports coat, but with a tucked in shirt (i.e. going to church)

- can't use an ankle holster for whatever reason (my Wranglers don't get along well with ankle holster)

and...

- wear a shirt that snaps up (or otherwise provides quick access), a Polo style or t-shirt is a no-no because it's extremely slow to draw.

-And don't sweat like a horse.

That is one of the main reasons I don't use one.

From the pictures, this thing looks like it would wear out quickly. I don't know that I would trust it for my day to day carry.

Why not get just a regulary shoulder holster that points the muzzle down? You could use it with dress shirts and could use it when you want to have an open shirt over a t-shirt.

I have a Miami Classic shoulder rig for my Taurus T85 & wear it under a snapped shirt. The pictured holster looks like it would work. If you wnat to try it, see if you can borrow a belly band from someone & wear it high for a while. Should be some good education.

I just got off the phone with the good folks a Kangaroo Holster.
Very helpful and a no pressure sales attitude. Great return policy. AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT. Looks like I'll be getting one on order today.
Best of all they are located here in TEXAS. :txflag:

That is also why I have not gotten one. I thought about it, but I sweat like a..., I sweat alot. But I may one day look at getting something like this to try, for winter days.

Ken Null makes three different shoulder holsters. http://www.klnullholsters.com/

They should hold up to the sweat. :smile:

I now have both deep concealment rigs and I choose KANGAROO.
It just feels better. And it is not as expensive.
