What would you all consider the best 1911 shoulder holsters? I have been looking religiously, but have yet to find the perfect one. I like the DeSantis New York Undercover, but I don’t like how the magazine pouch connects with just snaps. I understand that they do it that way so you can choose between horizontal or vertical orientation, but the snaps make me nervous. I bought a Gould and Goodrich years ago for a GLOCK. It’s a great holster, but unfortunately they don’t make it for 1911s. What do you all suggest? I prefer black leather. Thanks for the help.

Andrews monarch looks like a good shoulder holster. I have not tried one but Would likely purchase this if I wanted a shoulder holster.

I use this Allessi Pull Through Shoulder Holster for my WILSON CQBE 45acp. and my 38spl. Chief mod. Works great for me.

I've worn shoulder holsters for 35 years every single day of the week. I found over the years the thinner and lighter the harness the more comfortable . The heavy straps also print to some degree. Belt tie downs blow . I have an Andrews coming shortly . Hoping that design is comfortable . As I age I keep using lighter and lighter guns . When you are wearing something for 8/10 hours every single day . Weight becomes a priority .
Hoping Andrews was the right choice for my newest carry piece .

GALCO makes several great shoulder holsters. Expensive, but well worth the money.

I've been admiring this one for a while but never having worn one, can't seem to pull the trigger.

Seems kinda pricey for how worn it appears . Have you check to see what a New rig would cost ?

Had several Galcos. They are nice rigs . But in the same respect for teh same price I get a hand made one . From a guy popular enough to get movie deals for his holsters . Maybe that's why he's so busy

A little wear doesn't bother me and I hate cookie cutter holsters so I like it. I haven't looked into a new one but I'm sure it would be north of that figure if you can get one.

I like my Kramer rig . Very comfortable. Wear it mostly during the winter

Look at Craft holsters. They made a left hand shoulder holster for my Glock 40 with a red dot. Great fit and price is fair.

I don't own a 1911 shoulder rig but I have worn a Kirkpatrick shoulder holster for a ppk and found it quite nice.

For me the Bianchi X-15 is still the best--but hey that's me..

I love, LOVE my old Alessi. Brilliant design and flawless execution. Unfortunately, after about 30 years, the leather has begun to crack near the snap. I have a saddle maker here in town that says they can repair it, so that's good. 'Cause I don't think anyone makes 'em like this anymore.

There's a guy on Youtube I have seen : But they are like $600.00 Those heavier straps are nice . Which I believe he sells the harnesses separate

The Galco Jackass (and only the Jackass!) gets the nod from me.
I've had Andrews, Garrett, Alessi, and several others, but for me the Jackass just gets it right. A government hides under a heavy dress shirt somewhat regularly, when I absolutely can't get made (and won't be hugged!).

 

[Transamconvert]

I have a galco jackass also. It works. Fits full and officer frames equally well. The straps are thin enough to not print but still hold the load. It's open muzzle though so you'll get some lint, but it fits any length. I can easily conceal under an open flannel shirt. It's a slower draw than a belt holster for me though, not my high alert rig.
