I need suspenders-like detective shoulder holsters, and FAST! What is the most convincing, detective-y kind of shoulder holster's I can get?

Where do I order some? What style should I get?

It's for disco elysium cosplay. /cgl/ told me to come here.

>Where do I order some? What style should I get?
Galco Miami Classic, try Midway.

you should probably just go to amazon instead of dumping 120 bucks on an ACTUAL name-brand shoulder holster.
>>
>>62784194
galco miamis normally come with thin shoulder straps, the "iconic" look is with thick comfort focused straps you have to get seperately.
Amazon prime overnight is probably your only option so close to halloween.
For real you probably need to just go to a Spirit and pick up whatever's left cause its literally two days till.

If you're in the north Austin, Texas area I can sell you my Galco Miami for a Beretta 92 with a 2 mag holder for 80 dollars tomorrow
>>
also does he even have a holster? his default outfit is just a sport coat over a sloppy dress shirt

This is a great deal, the pistol alone is worth more than that!
>>
>>62784274
yeah but after literally never wearing it for over three years you kinda realize shoulder holsters are literally memes and have no actual, intrinsic value.

So i can open my blazer up and show my gun. Or take off my blazer etc. I want a way to draw my prop pistol dramatically
>>
>>62784266
this is for a con on the 8th of november, not halloween.

What brand has the thick iconic-strap look? What should I look for
>>
>>62784284
You should strip down to bra and panties and start a tickle fight.
>>
>>62784284
that looks spot on, you don't need a holster. just get a yellow dollar general bag and fill it with bottles.
>>
ALSO can any shoulder holsters generally hold revolvers? or just pistols?
>>
>>62784307
Poser needle bent.
>>
>>62784302
Holsters are sexy though and I want a cool way to store/draw a gun
>>
>>62784284
Galco Miami Classic (or Miami II) shoulder holsters put the gun near your armpit. That coat wont work for it.
Their VHS (vertical holster system) will put it on your ribs which will be better but also wont be as "authentic" since its an attempt to make shoulder holsters viable (it fails.)

you're looking at 150-200 dollars on amazon for a fucking prop and its not even authentic since he never actually has a holster.
Just carry a revolver in your inner jacket pocket like Dectective Elysium probably does it.

Shoulder holsters were for bigger guns that dont fit in your pocket and might go off in your pocket like a 1911, the design is to retain the gun pointed away from your leg at all times and put a strap of leather in between the hammer and the plunger for the firing pin.
>>
>>62784332
why won't the jacket work for it?
>>
>>62784284
would be 10/10 if it was just slightly more grungy
>>
>>62784381
that happens organically when the nighttime comes

It's a purse for your gun
>>
>>62784420
so what do detectives wear?
>>
>>62784431
In Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood wore >>62784222
look on ebay for an old one.
>>
>>62784440
>>62784431
I meant how do they wear shoulder holders without looking obvious under their jackets etc
>>
>>62784431
Going by the true crime videos I've been watching in recent years, they wear OWB holsters at 2 or 3 o'clock.
>>
>>62784446
Look at how Dirty Harry wore it.
That was a whopping 6" N frame gun he kept under his jacket.
>>
>>62784282
>yeah but after literally never wearing it for over three years you kinda realize shoulder holsters are literally memes and have no actual, intrinsic value.
I wear my shoulder holster almost every day, all day. It's the only real comfy way to carry a full size handgun all day working on the farm or in the woods, doesn't get in the way of a tool belt, backpack mounted equipment etc. Shoulder holsters are definitely extremely specific in their use and binary, they're either of no value or of massive value. If you're an urban person probably it's the former and there are a lot of more of you then there are rural. But you're wrong they have no value they're great.
>>
OP here

Can someone just decide which holster type will look sexiest with my harry du bois costume?

thank u
>>
>>62784515
since the point is not the holster at all, and the character ABSOLUTELY vest pocket carries because he's a fucking retard psycho, you can go fuck off and pick your own fucking holster you dipshit.
Buy a real revolver, not a prop one, and leave teethmarks on it after you go.
>>
>>62784607
what looks good tho

I feel like double shoulder holsters look sexy

I think i want a revolver prop. they will not let me bring in a real gun lol
>>
>>62784614
concealed means concealed.
I bring my gun to concerts, renaissance faires, music festivals, and MOST CERTAINLY nerd/anime/furry conventions.
If there's anything less than a full 3D TSA xray machine at the entrance or a guy actually reaching into your crotch and ankles to check, im going to have my real, functioning, and loaded gun on me.
You want something to show off like a prop. We deal with real guns that nobody should ever know you had on you so we do not have any fucking reccomendations.
We are different and you can go back to your gay faggot fashion channel and sew yourself up a little fucking purse for your nerf gun if you want to flaunt it like a homosexual.
>>
>>62784614
>they will not let me bring in a real gun lol
They will not be able to stop you, if you have a real gun. You have a lot to learn.
>>
>>62784642
My jacket is wide and boxy. 1970s style
>>
There was thus based schizo boomer who made plastic shoulder holsters. Really wish I could find his website again. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>
>>62784642
In the case of Dirty Harry, he only used the full 6" revolver when the gun was pointed at the camera (so that it looked extra huge). When he was pulling the revolver from under his jacket, he actually used a smaller revolver so it would conceal easier. That's the point of movie magic: they do whatever they need to make the scene work, and they don't need to use the same gun the whole time.
>>
>>62784749
how long was his concealed gun?
>>
>>62784705
Dude, you're the man! That's the guy. According to some anon here, his orders come with anti government ramblings included in the package. I'm gonna have to order one.
>>
>>62784642
its kinda was considering they are worn wrong in pretty much every media depiction. instead of high and tight its low and swinging for cool factor.
>>
>>62784705
>K.L. Null holsters
Interesting
>available in black and white, no clear
Damn.

OP here.

Tell me the most detective-ass leather I can get
>>
>>62787782
No.
>>
>>62784632
This anon fucks.
>>
>>62784749
imfbd claims the script called for a 4" but they used 8 3/8" (better for down the muzzle perspective) and 6 1/2" barrels.
>>
>>62784194
>doesn't also hold up your pants
So whats the point? Why don't shoulder holsters double as suspenders?
>>
>>62787782
dude you have one day left you aren't getting a leather holster in time unless you go to a store.
>>
>>62787782
As others have said, best choice for a leather shoulder holster seems to be the Galco Miami Classic, you can get a closeout holster for 50% off from their website (or see if other sites have it cheaper, I know Midway was mentioned)
If you want to save money then say "fuck it" and wear an Amazon-special shoulder holster, whether it's leather or not it'll be fine for wearing underneath a coat for prop retention
Also post the prop revolver, it may not be a real gun but I'm honestly just curious as to what it looks like (also it may help with figuring out what model of revolver is closest to your prop if you decide to go with a non-universal holster design)
>>62794332
OP already said this was for a convention eight days from now, not for Halloween
