Works very well and is very easy to get on and off as well as to adjust.

The only things I warn you of with this type of holster though are as follows.

1. If you have a heavy weight handgun this may not be the holster for you, if it isn't adjusted properly it feels very awkward and can bounce around.

2. If you have a small torso like I do it may not adjust to fit you perfectly, but it will still work.

Overall it is a great product, but if you are a small person or plan to use it for a very heavy weapon I would look into other types of holster as well.

I purchased this item a year ago while deployed to Iraq. The quality of the holster is average. Some PROS: the velcro for the ammo is strong and the ammo pouches are well placed. CONS: the holster is not well balanced, the ACU pattern fades to PINK in a couple months, and their is no lanyard strap for the pistol. Also, the company charged a $9.95 surcharge to ship to an APO, even when the shipping rates did not disclose that. When I protested the charge, the company (PYR) gave a lame excuse. Overall, not bad, but would spend the money on a leather holster.

The UTG shoulder harness is extremely lightweight and easy to adjust. The materials are thin and low profile so that your firearm can easily be concealed in a button up shirt. I was a little skeptical of this product with such a low price and free shipping. However, i have been rather pleased with the product and would recommend this holster to anyone who is looking for a shoulder harness that is lightweight and comfortable and doesnt want to break the bank.

First let me state that for the price this is a great product. Is it top of the line? No, refer back to the first sentence. Does it do what it is intended for? Yes.

Fit: I am 6'0" 225 with large chest and shoulders. Fits just fine. If you are the anal kind and are surprised that an item bought unseen does not fit to the precise parameters you wanted then you may want to go to the local gun/sporting goods store and try some on until you find that exact perfect one. If you are like the rest of us and can deal with some imperfections then this holster will be OK for you

Weapon: I have carried both a Colt Commander and a Glock 19. No issues. The Colt does fit "deeper" into the holster that the Glock but there are no issues with drawing the gun. Keep in mind that this is a tactical holster so there is not only a thumb break but some Velcro to get through before the gun comes out but it can still be done it one movement with one hand.

Quality: Seems fine. Time will tell but... look at the price. If you are expecting this to last for 15 years of daily use you will probably be disappointed. If, like me, you are just planning to use this a couple times a week or when you get tired of your belt holster and want to switch it up then this will work just fine.

Final note: If you are worried about "flagging" people behind you BUY A VERTICAL HOLSTER IN THE FIRST PLACE. That is for some of the other reviewers that are morons.

Purchased this in hopes that it would be a good carry option for my CZ-75 SP-01. The good news is that the gun fits in the holster nicely as well as the spare mags, and from what I can tell it should fit any small to mid size handgun fairly well. While the holster and pouches work well the rest of the unit is lacking. The only attach points to secure the holster to your body are two flimsy straps that loop around your belt. Even after tightening all the straps up the unit felt akward, and bounced around a bit with any movement other than a slow walk. If your looking to carry a loaded firearm for personal defense look someplace else, this unit can't handle the weight, if you just want it for kicks or a lighter airsoft gun, this would probably do the trick. And it does have sweet color options.

I'm currently deployed to Iraq and had been here with a leg holster and a cavalry holster. The leg holster, while stable, can be awkward and very clumsy when you have cause to undo your belt... The cavalry holster slings over one shoulder and would frequently slip toward the edge of my shoulder. I was constantly pulling it up. I've seen a lot of folks over here using this holster so since it was so inexpensive I thought I'd give it a try.

Pros:
Very light weight and comfortable
The wide triangular shoulder pads provide great stability and comfort.
The Velcro is strong on both the weapon and the magazines. I was a little worried about the magazines hanging Velcro down but they're not going anywhere!
I'm carrying an M9 and am able to put four magazines in the magazine pouches. With this balance of weapon to magazines I forget I have it on.

Cons:
The weapon rests parallel to the ground rather than vertical. While that might make me a quick draw I won't wear this holster if I'm walking around with a magazine in and certainly not if I put a round in the chamber. The barrel will be flagging anyone that walks behind me... poor muzzle discipline.
If you're unable to attach the belt straps, as many people in uniform are, and you have a heavy weapon in, you'll have trouble with this holster pulling toward the weapon side. This can be counterbalance by loading enough magazines in the opposite side... thus how I learned I could carry four magazines.
The center back is held together by a plastic ring and elastic. It's good quality and will hold up for a while but I've seen a lot of folks walking around with the elastic all stretched out looking like it's about to give.
I saw someone else commented on the color turning pink... I haven't experienced that problem but there are a lot of dudes running around here with pink holsters. LOL

I purchased this holster because I do a lot of hiking in bear country and I want to bring my Glock noise maker along with me. I needed a holster that would protect my gun, fit underneath my packstraps comfortably and still allow me to draw the weapon without fuss. I got all of that, plus bomber construction for a very good price. I would recommend this to anyone that loves to hike but needs more than bear spray.

I was hoping for something a little less bulky, or at least more easily adjustable, but my dreams never come true. It also seems to be made for people with rather long torsos, since I'm pushing its minimum limits at 5'11". It's also not the most comfortable thing around the neck area. Getting the weapon out of the holster is also a bit of a task (as is putting it back in). However, it can fit a full sized pistol, and it's not expensive at all.

All in all, if you're looking to impress your friends at your next airsoft convention (or whatever the kids are doing these days), it'll work just fine; but if you are looking to get this for concealed carry or the like, look elsewhere. Even with nothing in the holster or mag pouches, you can still see it's there quite easily, even with a light jacket on.

First of all, the shipping was incredible. I ordered the item around 3pm yesterday and received it by 3pm today just using the Amazon Prime 2 day ship. Basically that tells me that this company is on top of what they are doing.
As for the product. I love it. I took it out and put it on immediately and it fit perfect with no adjustments. I walked around the house for an hour cleaning while wearing it and it was great. I am a big guy so i was worried about the way it would fit over my 2XL-3XL frame but its awesome. And my gun, Springfield XDM 40 with 4.5" barrel fits in it great. I had no issue with a one handed draw. It wasn't lightning fast but it was easy and quick. The mag pouch is great. I also attached a folding knife with it's sheath on the strap above the mags which is great. It hides great under my leather jacket but not so much under a button up or hoodie. But then again thats with no adjustments.
My only concern is that the only piece connecting the two opposite shoulder mounts is a small plastic ring. Now theres no cracks in it or anything, but it just worries me that if too much strain or a little crack happens on that then it would be useless. But i figure i could just use a small caribiner to keep it together, if it ever happened.
So overall, very comfortable, very durable (besides the potential ring issue), terrific for the price. I would absolutely buy again if for whatever reason i should need to, and what a great shipment of 24 hours.

Hello all - let me tell you that I am very happy with this holster for a few reasons.

1) It's cheap, but seems sturdy enough
2) It does what it says it's going to do
3) It's comfortable

This is my go-to concealed carry rig when I will be wearing a jacket of some kind (and yes, I have several CCW permits). It is so much more comfortable than having a waistband holster when sitting or driving. Also, you don't have to worry about your shirt coming up when you bend over.

I am 6' 5" so I was a bit worried about the straps reaching my belt like some other reviewers said. This was not the case - with a few adjustments out of the box, I was good to go.

I carry my full size Smith & Wesson M&P 40 in this holster. There is room for a longer barreled pistol with this holster. I have mine adjusted so that the pistol is not hanging straight horizontal - I shortened the back strap a bit so that their is a bit of a cant. It made concealment MUCH better this way.

If you have a COMPACT or SUBCOMPACT, I would look elsewhere - your pistol might get swallowed in the depth of the holster or else be held in there loosely.
I am considering cutting off and sewing up the end of this holster to get rid of the excess material.

Overall, I'm very happy with this holster - I was worried about it being so cheap, but not anymore.
This provides a secure fit for my pistol and two magazines - very easily concealed beneath a suit jacket or blazer. The straps keep the pistol or magazines from coming forward out of your jacket if you want to bend over. I can't say that about my waistband rig.
