Hey guys,

I am going to be getting myself a 4" S&W Model 19 pretty soon and have been looking around at shoulder holsters for it, but I'm not really sure what to get. I want something that will work well for carrying while hiking and camping - so I'd be wearing the gun for a long time with it on. I'd ideally like it to have pouches for some speed loaders on the opposite side from the gun. Also, I'm not really a big guy and I think I'd prefer a vertical holster so the gun doesn't go poking through whatever jacket I'm wearing over it.

Here's what I've been looking at so far:

Galco's "VHS Shoulder System"

Bianchi's X15

I've bought stuff from High Noon in the past and really like their work, but they only make a horizontal holster. I'm still not so sure that's what I want. Money isn't really an issue - I'd rather buy a good holster once than several cheap ones.

Thanks for any suggestions!
