Welcome to Firearms of America! Today, I have another leather shoulder holster review for you guys and this is Vertical Roto Shoulder Holster from Craft Holsters made for them by Falco Holsters.
Here is the link:
Vertical Roto Shoulder Holster w Double Mag Pouch - www.craftholst...
Also available for purchase through Amazon. Here is the shoulder holster Amazon link:
Craft Holsters 1911 5" Compatible Holster - Leather Shoulder Holster System - amzn.to/2WyXaGT
As always, let's start with some specs:
Vertical shoulder carry
Contains Roto-shoulder holster, shoulder harness and double mag pouch
Available in black or mahogany leather
Hand molded leather with lacquered leather finish
Entire barrel is covered, open muzzle design
Steel-reinforced thumb break
Produced by Falco Holsters
Rotating function of the holster provides a better cant for the draw

Ok, let me start by saying that I absolutely love this shoulder holster rig. It is very comfortable, easy to adjust, the vertical position of the holster makes it easy to conceal a bigger gun like my full size 1911, for example, and there is not restriction of the movement.
Is this the best shoulder holster? Well, I think that if you are looking for a good shoulder holster, you need to consider this one for sure. Your decision of course will depend on little features and specifics as to what you need. As for 1911 pistol, I think this is the best shoulder holster for 1911 if concealment matters to you.
Besides the comfort of wear this shoulder gun holster also has great looks. The dark brown leather loos beautiful.

There's another good reason for some folks to consider a shoulder holster. I' am older guy with a bit of a pot gut so sometimes it's hard just to keep my pants up without cinching a belt uncomfortably tight. This, and the extra weight of a gun make a belt holster simply too uncomfortable for extended concealed carry. The shoulder holster is much more comfortable to me, and it need not be limited, as everyone thinks, to colder whether when you can wear a jacket. I wear it in the Summer in Texas over my t-shirt and under an untucked (fairly loose, short-sleeve shirt with western style snap buttons. It only take a split second to rip the shirt open and another second to draw. I also think in many cases you can slowly and quietly draw more surreptitiously than you can with a belt holster where you have to untuck your shirt and the gun reach is more obvious. The belt loops that secure the holster and magazine carrier to the belt also serve like suspenders so I don't have to wear a belt uncomfortably tight.

Common Sense Americans support each other regardless of immigration status or how diverse their ethnicity is and skin color. Those are superficial qualities. I like watching this guy's videos because he's informative, likes to share gun stuff with people like I do, is great for a before the purchase video to watch. It has nothing to do with his ethnic background. You're a weirdo, move to Europe.

nice review. since my attack in 2018 leaving me in the hospital for 3 months had 2 stomach surgeries left me with a lot of stomach complications while everything is looking normal outside & since I am a kick boxer of 15+ years I got back in shape more quickly than doctors expected, but inside it feels like a mess, lol. I feel bloated very easily where even a seat belt is uncomfortable, I can’t stand wearing belts even my inside the waist band appendix holsters which i am a huge fan of for carrying conceal annoy me some days. I would appreciate if you can give me any tips on a good first shoulder holster that would be great. I run an XD 40 4inch barrel with a streamlight TLR-7 (but dont mind removing it) to wear a shoulder holster unless you know if Alien Gear’s shoulder holster is light capable and have a pair of TruGlo TFX pro sights that’s pretty much it for now.

I have 5’ barrel 1911. If I ordered one under “model” would I put barrel length or overall length? I’m asking and slightly confused because 1911s are generally categorized by barrel length and not overall length but I just want to make sure.

Yes I am still messing with the adjustment on it, so definitely might get it better. Apparently vertical ones are much harder to get right than horizontal ones.

I just discovered a REAL problem with this holster. The "securing" snap on the holster does NOTHING. My 1911 easily slides in and out of the holster, regardless if the strap is snapped or not. So... the holster is a big fail if you want your 1911 pistol to be absolutely secured.

@j.hunter5007 8 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, my experience with the Craft vertical holster has been a bit different. I purchased the Roto holster recently for my 1911. If you are obese and/or over 6'-4", you might like their harness. I'm 6' tall and fit (at 170 pounds), and found their harness to be waaaay oversized. I had to adjust the harness to the minimum settings to even get close to a proper fit. After several emails to Craft, their suggestion was I needed a custom, smaller harness rig. Wait a minute, if your standard harness rig can't be adjusted to fit a 6' tall man then you have a real problem with your design. Their so called buy back guarantee included me paying restocking fees. After more emails, I finally decided their customer support wasn't worth the aggravation. I took the harness to a leather worker who fixed it. It's not perfect but it's better. Their design also has the shoulder holster hanging so low, it doesn't provide much of an advantage over a cross draw belt holster (at half the price).
