Most Helpful Positive Review Very satisfactory product
Works well with an RIA 1911 A1. At first it was a little tight but a little time pulling the pistol in and out fixed it. If you adjust the straps correctly, it fits well and is comfortable to wear. The only drawbacks i saw were the fact that it had only 1 magazine pouch and the pistol itself is kind of long to carry horizantally for concealed carry. That can be remedied by adjusting the pistol so that it hangs at a slight angle though, so no big deal. It is a nice, comfortable way to wear your full sized pistol without having extra weight in or on your waistband. Pros: fits well on the body a...

Very good product at this price point.

by Dave, from WA, United States Written on March 6, 2015
This shoulder holster is very good for lightweight guns with a moderately small footprint. Kimber Ultra or Pro sizes work very well in the 1911 holster model. The price to quality and utility ratio is excellent. I will probably upgrade to a Miami Classic II or Vertical Shoulder Holster for my heavier or longer guns if I decide to continue to use shoulder carry; not sure yet. But this is a great way to try it out with a quality rig for a good price.
Thanks Galco... and American Made too! That is very important.
Pros:
  • Price point, quality, American Made
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Medium or small lightweight guns (Ultra, Pro, etc.)

Galco Classic Lite Shoulder System Right Hand - Natural CL212

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on November 9, 2013
Good quality and value for the money.
The instructions for putting it all together and making adjustments could be more detailed and complete- a video on the company website detailing it all would be great as there was a little frustration at first.Also,the optional tie down system should be part of the package I feel even if the cost were a few dollars more.Without the tie downs the system is incomplete I feel as they are needed to hold everything in place.Even if they had to add a few dollars more to the package price it would it would save you time and more money with shipping and all having to order again just to get what you need.
Other than these two issues though the holster met my expectations and needs.
Pros: Very functional and well designed.
Cons: Instructions for assembly and adjustments sparse.
Would recommend: Yes

Very nice shoulder holster

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on January 22, 2012
I purchased the Galco Classic Lite Shoulder System CL212 for the Bersa Thunder CC 380 and this shoulder holster fits the Bersa perfectly. It takes a while to set up but it is worth the effort. The holster is balance nicely and does a great job of concealing the weapon. Very pleased with this holster, and at a great price.
Pros: Great to wear, fits weapon like a glove.
Cons: Takes a bit of time to size correctly, but worth the effort
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent Holster

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on March 11, 2011
Easy to set up, comfortable to wear, being a smaller framed guy, it can give me some issues with concealing it, it likes to try and ride closer to the neck. but I think when I buy tie downs that those will correct that problem.
Pros: Comfortable, easy to set up
Cons: doesnt conceal as easily on a small framed person
Would recommend: Yes

galco lite shoulder holster for colt 45

by Legacy Reviewer, from IN, United States Written on April 3, 2010
I'M A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER AND CARRY A COLT COMMANDER AS A CARRY WEAPON. I LOVE GALGO PRODUCTS. I HAVE 3 GALCO HOLSTERS AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THE LITE TO ANY ONE WHO CARRIES ANY WEAPON. QUICK BREAK IN AND FITMENT. LIKE I SAID IF ANYTHING IT COULD USE A LITTLE WEIGHT IN OFF SIDE TO EVEN OUT BALANCE BUT WITH A 45 DO YOU NEED MORE THAN 2 CLIPS
Pros: great for ever day carry
Cons: could use a double or stack to even out weight on off side
Would recommend: Yes

Galco Classic Lite

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from MO, United States Written on March 21, 2010
This shoulder rig was more than I had expected. The only set-up that allowed me to set to my comfort level, while still keeping concealibility and accessibility top priority.I was in law enforcement for 30yrs and tried various different carries until now.The Classic lite replaces them all.
Would recommend: Yes
