conceal carry shoulder holster

Looking for an affordable holster to carry a .44 Special revolver in. Got any pics or reviews?

 

What is your price range? I've had good luck with Kramer Leather paddle holsters for my big revolvers, but I know you said shoulder....

 

$40-60

 

In that price range, you are probably looking at an Uncle Mike's rig, like this: http://www.shopunclemikes.com/detail/TCL+UM07+R+0
Price varies on size. I had one a long time ago. Not very concealable or comfortable, but I don't like shoulder rigs.

Leather gets pretty expensive quick! Just a few I checked out were at $199+!

 

May be able to land a Galco for not unreasonable amounts of money.

Galco leather is pretty good.

For a full leather shoulder setup though, I don't think it's in the budget. May have some kind of nylon/leather setup with a leather holster and nylon straps, but I am just guessing. Seems that would be a nice middle ground kind of product.

 

From my experience, concealed shoulder holsters look more cool than they really are. I gave one a go for a short time before I realized they were more for TV than actual carrying. For concealed carry I think there are much better options. I do like certain shoulder holsters for field carry though. It's nice to have a heavy revolver out of the way and supported by the back instead of the hip.

Most holster companies make decent shoulder holsters. I prefer Galco and simply rugged but there are many great companies making holsters today.

 

I just can't stand the inside the waistband type. Guess I'll just get a longer coat for winter carry. I wear a belt holster for my .45 and 44 special.

 

Yeah, I like IWB for 1911 commander or CCO style pistols, but not revolvers. I like my simply rugged pancake holster for strong or crossdraw revolver carry. I use a galco concealable belt holster for 1911s for winter carry.

 

Hey, TomWilson74. Those are some fairly large pistolas for concealed carry. Great handguns in my opinion though. For CC I usually use a small revolver or flat semi-auto.

 

I do have a .380 semi auto but just wanted to carry a little more power. The .380 is really small and I just drop it in my hip pocket.

 

I hear ya. Been circling a Glock 43 lately. Usually drop a pre-lock S&W 442 into front pocket in an Uncle Mike's holster. Use a belly band with a Glock 33 from time to time. As they say, "A concealed handgun is comforting, not comfortable".
