Which Shoulder System Magazine Carrier Should I Choose?

Will this holster accommodate a micro red dot optic (MRDO)?

NOTE: Extended Magazines

1. Full-size/compact pistols: system mag carrier will generally not accommodate extra-capacity or

extended magazines. To assemble a system for extended magazines for a pistol not listed in the

Gun Model pull-down menu above, please purchase holster, harness and extended mag carrier or horizontal mag carrier

as separate components.

2. Compact/subcompact pistols: if a full-size version of your pistol is available, the mag

carrier will generally also accommodate magazines from the full-sized pistol.

3. Please contact Galco customer service for further clarification as needed.

NOTE: Sleeved Magazines

May not properly accommodate magazines with exterior sleeves, as the baseplates will

rub together.

Description

Galco’s original VHS™ (Vertical Holster System) was field-proven across the globe from Afghanistan to America. Thousands were used by US military personnel fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Countless others are in use by US and international law enforcement, being particularly popular among police helicopter pilots. The VHS also provides an alternative for those who want the concealment of Galco’s Miami Classic but prefer the traditional vertical carry style.

Now, after over a decade of experience with the VHS, Galco has improved it further. The VHS 4.0™ brings a reshaping/redesign of the harness straps, replacement of harness screws with a key-hole harness fastener attachment, and the addition of an innovative new tie-down system.

A key component of the VHS 4.0 shoulder system is its spider harness. All four points of the spider harness can pivot independently and are connected by our clover-shaped, trademarked Flexalon™ swivel back plate. This, along with our patented swivel connectors, results in a perfect fit and lasting comfort for virtually all body sizes and shapes.

The 2.5" wide harness straps on the VHS 4.0 have been recontoured to enhance both comfort and concealment. The VHS 4.0 also features Galco’s improved key-hole harness fastener system that replaces the earlier screw-and-post system, resulting in greater security, ease of assembly, and greatly reduced chance of fastener loss.

The VHS 4.0 also introduces a new tie-down system that is simple to use, compact and concealable, and fully ambidextrous.

The VHS 4.0 comes complete with vertical holster, harness, ammo carrier, tie-downs and a set of harness fasteners. Fully modular, optional accessories and components for the VHS 4.0 may be purchased separately.

Whether you patrol metropolitan America on the ground or from the air, exercise your Second Amendment right to bear arms, or stalk the hunting fields of the world, the VHS 4.0 will help you and your handgun stay secure in an often-dangerous world.

The ambidextrous VHS 4.0 is made for autos and revolvers and is available in tan or black finish.

Review for VHS 4.0 (VERTICAL HOLSTER SYSTEM AUTOS)
(5.0 out of 5)

Welcome to the WILD WEST

As young person in the very early 60’s California had it all. At the age of three I could walk a few blocks to a friend’s house with no worries. Now turn on the tv and watch the news stories covering the cities/ counties in the state. It is now the month of June 2025 riots murders robbery rape etc. It’s a fact time to get strapped. When your life is in danger Galco’s the only product I’ll use when seconds count. Well thought out top quality enough said? One must ask ones, self would you wear a holster built on the cheapest of three estimates or fly on a plane???? Ok you got me there the governor would. Now that’s a fact. Good luck and be safe, safety always first top quality products really helps.

Shoulder holster

Fantastic. Just what I needed-it falls on the of my body side like I hope it would, and it did. A very well designed shoulder holster. If I could afford it I would definitely buy one for several hand gun I own. Thank you, and have a blessed day. It’s true what they say, “Nobody beats Galco products.” And I agree.

My go to

Really love this holster for multiple reasons. It’s very comfortable and easy to adjust. I’m so glad that I’m not worried about what’s behind me because my muzzle is always down. Being a bigger guy this holster is more comfortable and easier to conceal than on my waist. Wish I would have got this holster from day one.
