I’m looking for a shoulder holster for my 5” Government Colt 1911. Still torn between vertical or horizontal.
Having a tough time deciding for a few reasons. Interested in the Galco VHS but I have some issues. The hardware on it is plastic, completely unacceptable on a $185 holster. It has a terrible tie down system, not sure why they didnt just have a belt loop on the back of the holster. It also has a terrible retntion design, being ambidextrous it has twice the likelihood of becoming unsapped and the gun falling out, they should have just made dedicated righty/left holsters.
Then comes the Miami Classic, would have been great but the holster leaves over an inch of the barrel/slide exposed, so really it’s a commander holster that can accomodate a Government model.
Anyone have any recommendations for either a vertical shoulder rig, or a horizontal that fully covers the pistol?
