From that moment, Galco’s Jackass Rig, designed by Rick Gallagher over 14 years earlier, became the real Miami Classic rig, destined to be the most copied shoulder holster system in the world today.

Don't forget that a good holster needs to handle the harsh elements of daily use:

Shoulder holsters are bad for CCW.. Mkay??

They wont let you use one in the class and tell you not to for your carry as well. The problem is that when you draw your firearm, you end up sweaping absolutely everyone in front of you and most times to the side as well. DONT USE ONE FOR CCW..

Comfortable enough to wear all the time. Go try some on and then you will know. Everyone likes something different. IWB, MOB, Ankle, etc.

The point is that you want a holster that gives you support for the firearm, concealability, quick draw ability without excessive time to remove, aim, and fire and without sweaping excess people with the muzzle,.

IWB is best and safest IMO

I have been reading up on holsters. Planning on actually getting my CCW this year.. Here is some links of what most Glock owners call the best of the best in both comfort and quality. You would be surprised what they make now a days for Concealment. C&C underwear anyone?

Our CCW instructor said use paddle holsters here in Ohio. The reason is that it's easy to remove or put back when getting in and out of a car. Because of our slightly wierdo law requirements. If you have to get out of the car, and stand there removing stuff to get your rig off, you are actually in violation of displaying that firearm in public, and could be in trouble if somebody freaks and calls the cops. A couple of the guys bolted lock boxes on the floor to transfer to. I didn't think I'd like a paddle, but it feels ok and works well. I like the Fobus paddles for certain firearms. Paddles don't cost a whole lot, but a universal IWB is ok too. If a firearm can possibly fall out of a holster, it will sooner or later. A strap, snap, or other retention device is good.

And yup, a firing line is not the place to be pointing firearms at somebody else. We were taught weak hand draw, as if we were wounded, but it's been dropped since it requires rolling your firearm across your belly to do the transfer. It kinda points everywhere, depending on who's doing it.

(Part of the ReconRat test of a firearm, is to see if it will fire upside-down. Sometimes on cheap pistols, the slide will fall off on the first shot. It thinks you are dis-assembling it. FAIL.)

Ohio changed that law I do believe so now you can carry a concealed while in a motor vehicle right?

You may not have a loaded handgun in the vehicle if you are

under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you have a concealed carry

permit, you may not transport a loaded, concealed handgun in a vehicle

unless it is carried in one of the following ways:

•The loaded handgun is in a holster secured on the person. Ohio

law previously required carrying firearms in a holster in plain

sight. The “plain sight” provision has been removed from the

law.

Motorcycles fall under the definition of motor vehicles. Thus, the

same requirements apply to licensees who carry a handgun while on a

motorcycle.

Blitzburgh, you are correct. I should have made that clear. They took the stupid part out. But if you arrive at a location that doesn't allow carry, you would still be doing the same dance to leave it in the vehicle. Or refuse to do business there, that works.

Ohio has an open carry law so they technically cant do shit to you for removing your weapon to follow a establishment law of no carry.
