As a matter of fact, yes I have. Whenever I'm out of IL, I take advantage of my concealed carry permit from the Great State of Utah. During the fall and winter, I carry a 5” Springfield Armory 1911 in Galco’s VHS. I recommend a tie down for the holster side; it gives you something to pull against when drawing the gun. With a jacket, it can certainly be worn concealed. It’s not as fast as a strong side hip holster and you must be hyperaware of the muzzle direction on the draw.
I own both the VHS and 3 horizontal Miami Classics. The Miami Classic is shorter and swings less. I recommend Galco tiedowns for a vertical, not only to keep it from moving, but to give you something to draw against. With a horizontal, your shoulder provides tension for the draw. With a vertical, it needs to be anchored to your belt or the holster goes with the gun when you draw. It’ll also prevent the VHS from swinging forward when you bend over to grab a Mounds bar from the bottom shelf of a..
I got my VSH at a garage sale for $5.00. The guy who owned mounted the holster crooked, and didn't like it. I took it all apart, and mounted it, correctly, and it is wonderful. I can use it on both my single stack, and double stack 9mm. I've had it since 2005.
There are provisions for a strap (known as a tie-down) at the bottom of the holster that anchors it to your belt, so you have something to pull against on the draw.
The Vertical holster component was designed to function without a holster side tie down and will not accommodate one. The draw is more of a forward rocking motion than a straight vertical pull.
I'm a left handed shooter - Do they make the magazine cases which mount for left handed users? I like the Miami Classic II Shoulder System but It appears they are all made for right hand draw?
Personally, I like the Miami Classic. The VHS is better for handguns with longer barrels (a 6” Model 29 doesn’t conceal so well horizontally, ask Harry Callahan). The Jackass never did much for me, although a lot of people like it. I prefer to have more of the gun covered, I Can’t quite warm up to the angle, and I’m just not a fan of Havana Brown. Holsters should be black, damn it!
The S&W Model 19 or 66 holster will fit the 10 just fine! The 10 is merely a .38 Special K frame. The 19 is a .357 K Frame, and the 66 is a stainless .357 K frame, simply order for YOUR barrel size, and be prepared to wait, but it's worth the wait! Well worth the wait. Galco's selection SUCKS ASS. Thei quality has also gone way way down hill. The straps get thinner every year, then the plastic swivel ties. F' Galco! Yell "La Migra" outside their factory door, and watch all their employees scatter out into the neighborhood.
Hi there, While it is always recommended to use a Holster Model Selector to ensure that you order the correct holster for your model, a quick review of the Galco Vertical Shoulder holster shows the same model listed for a 1911 whether it has a rail or not. The models do differ by the barrel length however. Hope this helps your question.

Soooo, how does it feel hanging on your spine behind the neck? Looks uncomfortable for everyday use vs lowering that X a little more to between the shoulder blades
Greetings! Most of our customers find that it fits comfortably. You can check out some of the reviews here: www.opticsplanet.com/reviews/reviews-galco-vertical-shoulder-holster-system.html
why don't they come with tiedowns ? Why do they charge $25.00 for a short tiedown that doesn't appear to b adjustable. my first rig was cheapo but nice unknown mfg..
Because a cow died and was skinned for those tie-downs. Then the skin was dried and tanned and cut and trimmed and finished and furnished, by craftsman. Quality costs
Hi Richie! We are not disagreeing with you. Our newer videos have a different spin on the music side of things, hopefully those feel much less annoying. Thanks for the comment.

I have this rig for my Beretta 92. However, mine has the wide front straps for more comfort. I love my Galco VHS Rig.
It is sold separately. Type galco-horizontal-mag-carrier-for-shoulder-system in our web-site search.
GALCO Holsters offer a lot of Bang for your Buck.
Is this holster safer then the Miami because it points the muzzle to the ground rather then Horizonte

Can you tie the holster to a belt with the tie down? I can`t find a pic of the inside side of the holster
I'm a left handed shooter - Do they make the magazine cases which mount for left handed users? I like the Miami Classic II Shoulder System but It appears they are all made for right hand draw?
so it looks like the miami classic is better right? and what do you think about the jackass
Galco has totally cheaped on out the spider harness.
YES THEY HAVE, AND GALCO IS DEAD TO ME!
i have a question. Does the holster shake a lot when running or is it pretty secure

You said this holster is available with a horizontal mag pouch but I can't find that option on your site?
I'm really considering getting one of these for carrying a full size 1911. Have you tried to conceal it? Thanks =)
BeanDip0913 I know it’s been eight years but did you ever go through with getting one for your 1911? If so, what did you think about it
What is the largest size gun that can be effectively concealed in a shoulder holster and how well would they work for something like S&W Model 10
