UTG Deluxe Universal Horizontal Shoulder Holster

First of all, the shipping was incredible. I ordered the item around 3pm yesterday and received it by 3pm today just using the Amazon Prime 2 day ship. Basically that tells me that this company is on top of what they are doing.As for the product. I love it. I took it out and put it on immediately and it fit perfect with no adjustments. I walked around the house for an hour cleaning while wearing it and it was great. I am a big guy so i was worried about the way it would fit over my 2XL-3XL frame but its awesome. And my gun, Springfield XDM 40 with 4.5" barrel fits in it great. I had no issue with a one handed draw. It wasn't lightning fast but it was easy and quick. The mag pouch is great. I also attached a folding knife with it's sheath on the strap above the mags which is great. It hides great under my leather jacket but not so much under a button up or hoodie. But then again thats with no adjustments.My only concern is that the only piece connecting the two opposite shoulder mounts is a small plastic ring. Now theres no cracks in it or anything, but it just worries me that if too much strain or a little crack happens on that then it would be useless. But i figure i could just use a small caribiner to keep it together, if it ever happened.So overall, very comfortable, very durable (besides the potential ring issue), terrific for the price. I would absolutely buy again if for whatever reason i should need to, and what a great shipment of 24 hours.

I've been considering this holster for some time and finally made the decision to buy it. Here's the thing, I have several pistols, each with its own holster, and most I have to attach to my belt (paddle holster, etc.) They are not lightweight and pull down on my trousers when I put a pistol in them. They also print. I even have a belly-band holster, which is okay, but still not very comfortable. This shoulder holster by UTG is probably the best holster of all of them, and it fits every pistol I have. Extremely comfortable, very well constructed, and it's made in the good ole USA. It is also easily adjustable for either right or left draw. The only issue I see is trying to use it in the summertime with a T-shirt and shorts. Guess I'll have to rely on my belly band. If you are trying to make a decision on this holster, don't hesitate and just buy it

This is a good beginner holster, especially for the price. A little bit of customizing helps a lot.Pros:+Very cheap, perfect for someone looking to try shoulder carry before committing a couple hundred bucks.+Fits me comfortably at 6'0" 350lbs+Very universal, you can easily set this thing up however you want for pretty much any pistol.+No more fiddling with mags, belt, holster, and gun before leaving the house, just throw this on and put a coat on.+More comfortable to carry IMO, and you don't even notice the 2 extra mags you bring with.Cons:-Draw is significantly slower than hip carry and requires retraining.-Much harder to defend from a physical attack while drawing and from the shoulder and presenting.-Harness doesn't really support the weapon well enough to adjust cant-The retention is inconsistent because it is universal. Sometimes my rear sights snag really hard in the holster.-The tie down straps are not removable so you either have to find a way to secure them or cut them off if you don't want to use them.-Saying it is Law Enforcement grade is a joke. LE would buy a nice leather holster for over $100, custom made for their pistol model.Tips:I tried conventional thumb snap and I found it was less consistent and took a bit longer to draw. I modified the thumb break a bit with a tiny bit of kydex and some glue (but anything stiff will work). Now I have a stiff "extension" on my snap like you normally see on a snap holster. I also flipped the snap to the outside of the weapon. Now when I place my hand on the butt of the weapon it automatically unsnaps and is ready to draw. No more trying to hit the snap with your thumb before drawing. I found that this change and modification easily doubled my draw speed. Hopefully this helps someone else out.
