Vertical Shoulder Holster for 1911

[Nathan]

I’m in the market for a vertical shoulder holster for my 1911.

I’m looking at the Ritchie TAC LINK


I’m also looking at the Brigade LINK

Anybody have experience with one of those? I really like the Brigade, but they seem like they have gone offline....anybody know Troy? Still open for business?

My tendency is to do business with Ritchie. He runs a good business and is a long time holster maker.


If you have bought a vertical shoulder holster, what did you get? How does it work?

I'm not a shoulder holster guy but the Brigade looks a lot like a Bianchi X-15 for a $100 less.

It is similar, but it s nice to have mags on the offside for balance.

I get it. I'm something of a holster snob and I'd go with something better than a current Bianchi but just putting out an alternative. Good luck.

Well, I’m pretty set calling them both on Monday morning....probably give Ritchie my money.
