I bought this holster for one purpose, fly fishing. I needed a holster that would conceal a 44 magnum under my fly fishing vest since I fish alot of back country in the rockies. I have been joined by bear and moose in the rivers. I first ordered a vertical version and it didnt work, horizontal is perfect. The horizontal version conceals the pistol perfectly under my fly fishing vest. I have had shoulder holsters in the past that just werent comfortable. This is way better than the other cheaper Uncle Mikes version. I fished for 8 hrs the other day and couldnt even feel any weight from a loaded 44 mag.
I would buy this again in a second
Pros: Weight relief and ease of putting on
Cons: would prefer nylon gun strap vs platic
