    I've had the Miami classic since 1998, for my G19. Payed $125. I've bought the components for it where I can carry a 1911 and a left hand G19, so I could carry two. I can't express enough how well built it is. 25 years later it's still going strong.

    I've been using the Miami Classic for the last few months, I absolutely love how comfortable it is and it allows me easy access in my vehicle. I'm in my truck most of the day driving around so a waist height holster was just bad. I've been crawling around with it on, front and back and everywhere in between. Having 2 extra mags on hand is also quite nice and is actually kinda necessary if you want to balance the system better. VERY well made holsters, well worth the money IMO.

    I have a set up much like this for two of my heavier, full sized pistols because it truly works best for me. Out of all options available to me, this allows for the greatest concealability, comfort, mobility and accessibility. The trick is that it needs to be fit to you and your sidearm.

    Pretty good stuff. 1st video. Your channel was at the top when I searched Vertical holster system. Just started thinking about something like this for canoe camping & other outdoor stuff. Concealed carry too. Galco is a good leather company. Big name in the industry for 5 decades,but not so big you can’t call them up on the phone and talk about something you need .Every holster I’ve had from them has been good .Liked & subscribed .take care.

    I just purchased the VHS 4.0 as a Christmas gift to myself. Wasn’t sure what model pew to get it for. I went ahead and snagged one for my P226 Elite. As I guy who has been carrying AIWB for the last 10 years, it’s liberating to say the least. 10/10 comfort level 10/10 quality. I was weary about the plastic parts that came with it but they seem to be as sturdy as the leather. I’ve been practicing my draw and it serves as a way of breaking the leather in as well. I did a brand comparison before spending the money and unless you spend big bucks having some custom made and not come out right, this seems like the top tier pick for the money. It’s a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. I learned that it’s extremely important to not skimp out on holsters because they are as important as the pew they carry. Thanks for this vid, I had a couple of the same complaints as far as not being able to use extended mags, but oh well. I’m planning on purchasing just the holster for another model pistol since I have the shoulder rig already. Always nice to have options. I’ve always been a kydex IWB retention guy but this VHS system brings a whole new level to winter wear. Idk what I’m going to do when jacket weather is over with. Back to sweating on kydex Tier1’s I guess lol. Thanks man, decided to subscribe for more. Merry Christmas

    I've had two of these holsters for a couple years, one for Glock 19/17 & one for S&W M&P. I prefer DeSantis for the heavier 1911 as it has wider shoulder straps. I have had failures with the plastic parts cracking, as such I always replace all plastic parts with brass and install grommets on the leather at the connecting points.

    SO i purchased the Shoulder harness for my G17 and G48MOS no Optic. I love it with the G48. However, it's tough to find a good jacket or sport coat to conceal it properly with out being to tight in the chest and imprinting. Any recommendations? I've adjusted it for the g48 to be right under my peck on the side. so it sits well against my body. Just the front shows some poking...

    This video was exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Two questions: Are the holsters interchangeable on different harnesses? Like can I buy a system for my 43x, and buy a separate holster for the 19x and swap it on the harness? Second question, would my 19x with a TLR-7 fit just fine in one designed for a 19x w/ TLR-1? They havent expanded to all my options yet.

    Love this. Super unfortunate they don’t have an option for light or optic. If they did I would prob buy rn. Been thinking about shoulder carry bc I drive so much and appendix just doesn’t seem very ideal for that. Not just bc of comfortability but also access. Lack of optic and light option basically takes it off the table tho
