Somewhat disappointed. Many loose screws and snaps. Wore the rig one time and it basically fell apart. Rig now sits in the gun safe until my next trip to Charleston when I can return it for repairs

Finally!
I have a small graveyard of shoulder holsters, loving the concept, but hating the feel and concealability (is that a word) of the biggest brands on the market. I bit the bullet, finding these guys on a Google search. Loved the look and the customization, but hesitated at the price, especially with my history of failures. Like I said, loving the concept so much, I bit the bullet. They were great about reaching out to me for details, when they had questions, making sure to get it just right. When it arrived about 5 weeks later, it was perfect. It felt great, and conceals a 5” 2011 under every jacket I own. The horizontal mag pouches are fantastic, and the holster fit like a glove. Retention snap is easy to manipulate, but no concern that it would ever come off on its own. The “suspenders” were easy to extend to my desired long length, and in fact, the whole thing was easy to size to my comfort. I couldn’t be happier. The one complaint that I have is this: I’m now going to have to have another made for single stack 1911’s, because I like it so much.

Shoulder Holster Review
Love the look and feel of the holsters, I ordered two. Took a bit to get them fitted correctly. Make sure to use thread locker on leather rivet screws after you get it adjusted to your fit.

Very good craftsmanship and customer service. They kept me informed about the progress of making my shoulder holster, and it was done a little early. My pistol fits it like a glove. Nothing but good things to say about Southern Trapper.
