Review for
Galco VHS Tie Down Set Leather Holster
Note: the VHS shoulder holster comes with the tie downs built-in so no need to purchase separately.
To the best of my knowledge that Miami classic does not come with tie downs.
It would be nice if Galco provided better information

amazingly comfortable ... But!

Is amazing how much information Galko doesn't give you. I wish they had a better application chart..
First off there is a tiedown loop built-in on the holster side. There's a loop for your belt and on the magazine side there is an attachment to to your belt.
Second. Fitting isn't easy .... Galco has a YouTube video but frankly it's not very well done and it doesn't cover the VHS very well at all.
What worked for me? Big office binder clips the ones that hold paper together. Using those allowed me to easily adjust the shoulder rig, but even with that I had to readjust it many times to get it to really fit well.
Take your time! play with it, be patient. It will be worth it in the end.
Another tip, the holster retention strap is a little tight what I did was I soaked the leather in water for a little while and wrapped my empty gun plastic wrap, snapped everything together in the holster and let it stretch out and dry. Also a little oil on the snaps seems to help.
In the end, this vertical shoulder rig is extremely comfortable and frankly pretty cool looking, Some big advantages is that when you're driving or sitting, you can access your firearm without being a contortionist and a shoulder holster doesn't pull your pants down when you're carrying a full-size 1911 and a couple of magazines.
The magazine pouches are a bit tight for 45 ACP eight round magazines, again the water trick works.
