Product Description
Galco VHS 4.0 PISTOL RDS
Vertical Shoulder Holster System · Handcrafted in the USA · Since 1969
The Galco VHS 4.0 Pistol RDS is Galco's Vertical Holster System (VHS) – a shoulder holster where the firearm hangs vertically (muzzle down) under the arm. Version 4.0 features the patented Spider Harness* construction for even weight distribution. The vertical carry prevents the muzzle from pointing at others – an important safety aspect.
The VHS is the choice for carriers who appreciate the comfort of a shoulder holster but prefer a vertical muzzle direction.
