AIKATE Deep Concealment Shoulder Holster, Universal Underarm Gun Holster for Men and Women, Fits Subcompact and Compact Pistols for S&W Bodyguard, M&P Shield 9mm, Glock 19 26 42 43, Sig P365

I’ve had my concealed carry permit for years, but for the longest time, my handgun’s permanent "carrying position" was inside my bedside drawer. Why? Because every holster I tried felt like I was trying to conceal a brick using a series of aggressive rubber bands and sandpaper. I’ve spent a small fortune on holsters that were either so uncomfortable I couldn't breathe, or so awkward that I looked like I was smuggling a toaster in my waistband. Then I tried this shoulder/underarm platform. Honestly, my expectations were in the basement, but this thing has far exceeded them. The Comfort Factor: Usually, by lunch, I’m ready to chuck my holster out a window. With this one, I actually forgot I was wearing it. It distributes the weight perfectly across the shoulders rather than digging into my hip or pulling down my belt. It’s the first time I’ve felt "ready" without feeling "restricted." The Fit & Feel: It doesn't have that bulky, "I’m clearly hiding something" profile. It sits naturally, moves with me, and doesn't require constant readjusting every time I sit down or stand up. The Verdict: If you’ve been avoiding carrying because you’re tired of being poked, prodded, and annoyed by traditional holsters, give this a shot. It’s funny how a simple change in platform can make such a difference, but in all seriousness, this is a game-changer for daily comfort and peace of mind. Pros: Actually comfortable for all-day wear. Great weight distribution. No "tucking and pulling" at your clothes. Cons: I wasted a lot of money on other holsters before finding this one. Highly recommended for anyone who has a "holster drawer" full of regrets!

I'm a big guy with a big gun. I hated carrying on my hip, made driving and sitting uncomfortable. Was looking for a shoulder strap but was unsure about the looser hanging leather ones. This design is exactly what I needed. I wear a 3XL and the 51" strap fits great around my chest with room to spare, keeps super tight, and actually lets me carry my full size CZ-75 SP-01 and not actually feel it on my body all day. I wore it for about 10 hours today, and put up a tarp shed with the holster on, and it didn't hinder my movement or create any hot spots at all. I couldn't feel it all actually and was really impressed by how comfortable it made carrying my full sized steel frame gun with a full 17 round magazine. I didn't even feel the need to take it off when I got home, if I had to compare it to anything it would be a great knee strap that stays in place and does its job. One more thing to add, its basically invisible under a button up shirt or zip up hoodie. I wore a button up flannel over my shirt and it looked normal with no bulges. Nobody will be able to tell you are wearing this unless you specifically reveal it. tl'dr: Great for Big and Tall guys, Great for 20 dollars, Comfortable, supportive, and concealing. Best 20 dollars I've ever spent on a holster. I don't know who owns the original design, but whoever invented this style did a great job.

My preferred edc concealed is a Glock 43 (the original 6 shot, no X).for years it's home has been a blackhawk ARC, AIWB carry. love that holster. Plain, simple, and comfortable with good retention. Get one. This was an impulse buy. It does fit the 43 perfect and can be used in normal (non active- running, jogging etc) circumstances without a "thumb break". Simple to figure out. The sized ordered was the 51", but it was too large (but manageable) with a 48" chest, several inches overlapping. With a t-shirt underneath the holster and and a soft, button up fishing type shirt over it, the g43 was not visible. The strapping across the back may be noticeable to those with a trained eye, especially on men where a bra strap isn't so common. It is comfortable, however it may get hot- This may not however be the best if your in a hot, desert, well over 100 degrees for almost all the summer long area. Wearing it around the house it was clear to see that this puppy, while comfortable- will get warm. And on a 112 degree day like today, it'll probably be little swampy, so no thank you...You have wear a t-shirt underneath or it will not be very comfortable and may soak up some moisture. I'll come back here once the weather cools off out of the 100's and I get a good chance to wear it about town and provide some more feedback.

For what it costs, this holster delivers. Value is good. Mine came with two support straps, and I definitely need both of them. Took a long time to sort out the best way to drape & angle the straps, but once that was resolved, the fit is good. The actual holster part has a strap for retention - and so my gun - although secure - has no hard material covering the trigger. (Just soft neoprene.) Plus the gun slides around... from ~20 degrees backward to ~20 degrees forward. The main strap is just too wobbly to keep the gun locked at a set angle. By tightening the main strap, I can guarantee that the gun will always stay under my arm (and not print at all), but it still feels like it's constantly sliding around. Plus the velcro doesn't extend far enough on the main strap, so I have a 1-foot length of strap that just dangles if I don't tuck it perfectly. I also own an IWB Vedder Kydex holster with perfect retention, and I've been playing around with marrying that holster to this one. If I could combine the two I'd have a perfect holster. Soooo... this holster is well worth the money. And while it's fine for a quick 45 minute jaunt, I wouldn't want it as my EDC holster.

I actually really like this holster a lot! I have literally EVERY type of holster that is made and this $20 buck holster is far and above my fave! I have a beer gut so it is just not comfortable to try to wear any kind of holster around my waist. I've tried IWB, OWB, SOB, you name it I have tried it! Even shoulder holsters but this one is great because I can just wrap that spandex-type stretchy material around my lower chest, above my gut and it rides there perfectly. You will not get a real quick draw from this holster but I feel it is fast enough. There is an Alien Gear Lo-Pro belly band with a kydex holster canted at 45° that I now know would probably work great as a chest holster even though it's not technically built for that but it is $100! So while I'm trying to save up to by that one, which will provide a quicker draw, I will wear this one happily. Now keep in mind this is a $20 buck item, ok. It's not high quality or mil-spec or anything fancy. It is a way to carry my Sig P365 around my chest without printing and it is pretty dang comfortable. I wore it the other day for about 5 hours and just needed to tighten up the belt once while in the bathroom. That is another plus. A waist holster and even a pocket holster (my 2nd favorite) will weigh your pants down so trying to take a leak can be a chore to not drop your weapon or show everyone that you are carrying. This thing just rides there nice and snug. If you are more the skinny type you may have an issue printing but I am pretty muscular with a gut and this thing disappears under my chest muscles and above my gut. Plus, for $20 bucks, what do you have to lose? You can always return it. One last point, I am not a daily wearer, so if you do carry every day I'm not sure how long this would necessarily last, but there again it's $20 bucks. Really can't beat it. Be safe!

Works great for carrying my 9 mm, several different ways to use it for comfort.

Great fit , exactly what I was looking g for

I purchased this holster specifically to allow the carry of my .9mm S&W M&P Shield when running. The gun remained in position well. There was some vertical movement as I ran, but this was minimized due to my left arm being just to the side of the gun. There was some printing from the bottom of the grip, but to completely conceal the weapon under my arm means to make it less accessible. I wear a xxx shirt for easy access by reaching down through the collar, and for greatest concealment. I was unable to tell whether the holster made me any hotter, or whether it significantly inhibited my breathing while running, being wrapped around my upper ribcage. A non-slip, adjustable shoulder strap (came w an extra) would have been optimal. Please include a clip pocket, as 7 rounds (one in the pipe) go fast in a small semi-auto. UPDATE: I decided to use the extra velcro strap fo further stability, looping one end in back around the D ring, running it around the right side of my neck, then attaching the other end in front. The holster is now very stable. I do wish the holster was a little deeper to further discourage the grip from shaking as I run. UPDATE (80921) With the addition of the extra strap for further stability, I AM DELIGHTED WITH THIS PRODUCT (still wishing for the extra clip pocket). UPDATE (51422): This product is HORRIBLE. The low-grade velcro continuously comes apart in high humidity conditions. If the wearer is muscular, particularly in his back, involuntary flexing gradually works the product loose, and you will find your weapon loose in your shirt at the waistband. This could get the wearer shot. The wearer can actually HEAR the velcro tearing loose as the security of the product tears apart. This product is now WORTHLESS.

Fits great and holds your toys nice and tight!

It was a struggle bolstering my Glock 19 more so to draw the weapon from this holster. Horrible fitment and design
