Leather Shoulder Holster or Kangaroo Carry?

[drjoker]

Which is more comfortable and better for drawing a Glock 19 with either left or right hand on the gun drawn from the same position? Kangaroo Carry or a Leather Shoulder holster worn underneath a shirt? Anybody have experience with these modes of carry? Positive and/or negatives with these modes of carry? Thanks.

P.S. If anybody has a Kangaroo Carry that you don't use, I'll pay you $11.50 for it (including shipping). Or, I could give you $5 plus a cup of hot coffee at Starbucks for it if we're meeting in Plano/Carrollton/Addison. Or we could meet at a local range; DFW guns, Elm Fork, or Dallas Pistol Club. I'm looking for the one for full sized guns. I don't want the mini one for .380's. Thanks.

I have not used a good leather shoulder holster, but I did try the Kangaroo thing.

Back when I tried it I had a lot of bending over and kneeling in my job, where I was not prohibited from carrying. It felt like it was going to fall out a few times and I became too worried that is was going to and couldn't trust it not to. In the bottom drawer it went. Maybe now it might be okay, but my current job strongly, although not legally, prohibits me from carrying at work.

I've always wanted to try the Miami Classic. If I had a thinner gun I might.

I have used the kangaroo carry (original model) for several years with my PM9. It works for me. They now have several different models. Some models have a retention strap. Check out their website for more info including videos.

The Kangaroo holster is comfortable with a t-shirt under it. I can't wear it without one. However, the band-type holsters, like the Kangaroo also will be much hotter than a shoulder holster, so summer wear for my Kangaroo is pretty well out unless I will be in the air conditioning all the time.

This is a buy/sell/trade forum.

Perhaps you should ask your question in the "hostters and accessories" section of the forum.

Perhaps a mod can move this thread?

I tried the kangaroo, couldn't get comfortable w it. Wound up springing for an Andrews Monarch.

In Houston, wear one of those high-tech Under Armor tee shirts, then Andrews monarch, then dress shirt.

Will the velcro snag your underarmor t shirt and destroy it? Velcro often destroys silk and underarmor is similar to silk. Thanks.

You better tell them what size you need. There are different ones.
