Nylon shoulder rig.

[Rad4570]

I am on a mission to find a nylon/ kydex shoulder holster system. It seems there are many many leather options available with nylon options being fairly sparse. I would like to find a horizontal carry rig, with changeable holster options.
Any insight or suggestions are welcome.

Look at the Black Hawk system, nylon harness with quality holsters.

ROAShooter; I appreciate your response, do you have any experience with any? I would deeply appreciate suggestions on quality rigs. The price range on these, like their leather counterparts, vary greatly.

Rad...my preference is leather....the feel....the smell....my blued S&Ws are all from the 70s......would just not be right to put in plastic....and my SS..S&Ws would be jealous....

Believe me when I say I love leather, but due to an allergy leading to dermatitis, unfortunately leather holsters are out of the question.
So, now that the leather owb and iwb holsters have been replaced, I need to replace my Miami shoulder rig. :banghead:

About 10 years ago I carried a 1911 in a nylon Bianchi Tuxedo rig. It looks like they're still on the market here, on Amazon, and Midway, among others.

I found it as comfortable as a Miami classic, and liked the way the holster broke up the gun profile and provided a little more cushioning against the body without added bulk.

I bought a very inexpensive Fox Tactical nylon shoulder holster a while back. I believe it's the same as the link below.

I'm not sure of the size, but a .40 USP fits nicely. I got it on clearance for $9 because I wanted to try out a shoulder holster. I've become a big fan of the rig. I mostly use it when I shovel snow in the winter. The USP is very winter glove friendly, and I find the shoulder holster easier to get to when bundled up than the other options I've tried.

If you're looking for a deep concealment rig, this might not be the right set up. It's rather bulky. If you're looking for a comfortable way to carry a big 'Ol gun around, try it out.

Wait for it to go on sale. If you don't like it, you're out less money than a fast food lunch.

Thanks for all of the replies. The bianchi tuxedo rig looks pretty good, and I may have to give it a try. I suspect I'll probably have to try several different ones before I find one I like. So please, keep the experienced suggestions coming.

Uncle Mikes. You won't get "changeable holster" in nylon or for cheap.
"...there is this thing called the "google"..." It's called a search engine.

@ Sunray

"...there is this thing called the "google"..." It's called a search engine.

Google results for a potential purchase like this are going lead one to reviews from dubious sources with even less of a known quantity factor for background than a gun forum. Even worse, someone might end up with a cheap throwaway brand that ends up in the box of holsters at a back of the closet. E.g., Uncle Mikes.

Thanks psyopspec, that's the thing, I'm looking to replace a Miami classic. I don't mind dishing out the cash for a good holster, but I don't want to shell it out four times, over botched and biased online reviews. That's why I posted the question here. Thank you for the responses.

My apologies.

I don't know your budget or if you have to have nylon, but I just bought a DeSantis New York Undercover for my Glock 36 from Optics Planet. It was discounted to $115.00 and will hold a Glock 19 and by chance my CZ75PCR fits right in, too.

 

[chicharrones]

Oops, just saw your reference to leather allergies. Even through clothes, huh?

Do a search. It`s out there.

 

[AnselHazen]

Lurking here on this one too. I prefer nylon, am a lefty, and want vertical not horizontal. Can't begin to count the hours I have waded through search results. You go blind after awhile and you can't even trust the text for the product. I have one sitting in a box, claimed it was vertical and ambi (thus could be switched to left hand) but it wasn't.

I have an older Uncle Mike's horizontal holster for S&W K and L frame revolvers and have been very satisfied with it's design, construction, and comfortability while carrying my Model 686 in it.

 

[AnselHazen]

Now see, I could be liking that if it went lefty and vertical.
