New shoulder rig for my 1911

Been waiting on this since late Feb. and it finally arrived this morning. First shoulder rig I've ever bought. As with other holsters I have from Diamond D, this one will take some breaking in. I don't mind that, I'd rather it be tight when new than loose and sloppy. :)

I have a couple and one you had to be a NASA engineer to figure out how to put it on.

Update on the rig. I've been wearing around the house and property for 3-4 hours nearly every day for the past week, and it's settling in pretty good. Had to make a couple more small adjustments, but all is good now I think. I like the belt straps - helps keep my trouser up if I'm also carrying my back up 1911. As has been said; "1 is none, and 2 is one." :)

That's quite a bit nicer than the type Uncle Sam issued me ;)

Mmmm. Nice and simple is expensive. But I couldn't bring myself to go cheap on a holster for that $1500 Colt ANV. ;)

I used my set up this weekend that’s similar to yours. Mine is a Bianchi and I originally bought it for my S&W 1006 large frame semi. I have sold the Smith but my CZ 75 fits the holster perfectly. But the Smith had single stack mags so the spare mag holder is too small for the CZ double stack. I haven’t looked into it yet but I’m sure I can replace the mag holder with one that will accommodate a double stack.
