Amazon product ASIN B00LVLHX84
So I have been wanting to go full size with my EDC for a while with a mildly used M&P 1.0 and relegate my current EDC to backup. I can't add any more weight to my belt so it would need to be in a shoulder holster. This one seems to fit the bill and doesn't cost an insane amount of money.

Any thoughts?

I would avoid buying anything gun related off Amazon unless it’s cleaning supplies or lube or the like. So much fake shit on there.
 
I just have to ask if your daily carry is a P320...might not want a horizontal carry...
 
That holster is a knockoff of the Galco Jackass. if one is so inclined to shoulder carry, just get the Galco.

Yeah, the thing is the Galco adds almost another 100$ to the price tag and that's a bit steep for a 400$ gun.
 
Try the cheap holster and see how it works. As long as you go into it you know it's a knockoff. Most of us who are older recall doing this and then buying the real deal later. So it isn't $100 cheaper, it could end up costing $128 more. Many of us have a box of old holsters. Where are my Uncle Mike's soft flannel holster people at?

You mean like this drawer of holsters?

So far it's actually not bad overall but I am not yet sure if it's my long term solution. As expected I have to make probably several more adjustments to get it just right. I like the fact that I can get to it much easier in the car and the thumb break works great. But I feel more weight than I expected and it does not conceal as well as I would have throught.
 
shoulder holsters suck

concealment is almost impossible unless the gun is tiny/short barreled; and impossible to wear concealed without a coat/jacket

draw always risks flagging yourself

only real usage I could see is for driving long distance or if need to carry additional pistol

Aker makes decent stuff, but the Galco is the benchmark
