Shoulder rig review
Would give 5 stars except for three things, 1) I have not actually "used" this holster in the sense of practicing live fire presentation which is the intended use besides an actual defensive encounter, 2) instructions for break in were a little inaccurate regarding time and supplies requirements and 3) the straps are pretty long requiring adjustment to their shortest possible positions. I purchased the recommended break in kit following instructions for a two day break in using all of the supplied fluid but it actually took 3-1/2 total days finishing with Bicks #4 leather conditioner the final day and a half on the insides of the holster and magazine pouches to get a proper snug fit. The inner rotating holster doesn't cant forward as much as I expected after unlocking the retention snap. It rotates about 45 degrees not a full 90 degs for a straight out pull. The retention snap requires practice since due to the design and position it interferes a bit with the grip step prior to the pull. It gets sort of stuck between the index or trigger finger and the trigger guard as it rotates but with practice the interference can be minimized. If you find that too difficult just separate the process in to two steps 1) unsnapping using a knife hand or edge of your firing hand without gripping to clear the strap out of the way, then 2) grip and rotate before the pull. The strap length should be shorter even for a six footer like me. I had to reinstall the screws all the way to their minimum possible positions and was almost tempted to punch extra holes in them to make them even shorter. Overall those are relatively minor hindrances. It fits when adjusted correctly, has the right amount of retention for my taste once broken in well, and allows for a correct full grip, with practice, prior to the pull compared to my previous nylon fabric "one size fits most" shoulder rig so I don't need to waste time adjusting my grip after the pull. Overall this will be a satisfactory platform for carrying a full size Glock Gen 4 G20. Glad for the purchase, price and quality. One final positive note - delivery was nearly three weeks ahead of schedule which I'm sure was no small feat this time of year.
