Boys, it's buttfuck winter. You know what that means.
It's shoulder holster time.
I've been making the rounds in the usual places trying to find a decent leather shoulder holster for a while. Problem is, they're all expensive. That, or they don't really fit my off the wall guns. I've had a hell of a time trying to find any holster to fit the BUL with the light/laser on it, let alone a shoulder rig.
Been trying several different holsters for years. Best I found was an old PagerPal IWB leather holster that I had to cut a bit and modify. The other night I was looking at my pile of scrap leathers, old holsters, and chicago screws and scratching my belly. Fast forward a few hours and a lot of digging through all my scrap piles for parts and ideas.
I finally finished it. My perfect rig. Lays flat, can even be mostly concealed with a full or duty sized under a slightly loose T-Shirt and disappears completely with any sort of overshirt or jacket. Totally modular, take a couple screws and rubber grommets off and pop a new holster on there. Every part is adjustable. Has a lower back strap too, so you can suck in or let out the rig as needed. Holds a spare mag right under my armpit on the other side. And now even has pistol retention with snaps, so every single other pistol I own in the house fits and is retained. I haven't been able to take it off since. Looks like a random mishmash of scraps, straps, and clasps. But this thing works, and I can even wear it over summer.
I never liked appendix, all my pistols are duty sized so they always stabbed me in the junk and gave me a huge bulge right on the front of my belly. Getting the perfect shoulder rig has been a wash of spent money and getting thrown in boxes. So I just made it. And this thing is just as sturdy, reliable, and indestructible as anything I could buy, even if not as pretty.
