Galco Jackass Rig for Glock 20, Anyone use one?

I have a kydex Comp-Tac C-Tac IWB holster for my G20 and I can carry it that way but
it's pretty difficult to conceal unless I'm wearing a really baggy Columbia fishing shirt.
It's a lot of bulk around my waist and I don't care for it.

Been thinking about trying to carry the beast in some type of shoulder holster
like a Jackass Rig, it's intended for large frame pistols because of the butt down cant.

Probably be more comfortable in the car too.

Don't have a G20 but do use the Jackass rig at times for my other Glocks mainly in cooler months.  I have used them for years and really feel comfortable when wearing them.  If you go that route do a lot of practice drawing and reholstering.  I also suggest to wear the gun and mags about halfway between waste and shoulder with a good cant on the holster.  This will assist with concealment and ease of draw.
I have also carried full size 1911's in the past this way and works well too !

Ditto to second post. Wore Jackass rigs for1-2 decades daily and comfortable in cooler weather.

I have a MASC vertical for my X-Five which is similar to G20 in size.
Very nice rig for the money.
Made by the Turks but looks American made.
They put 'em on a FedEx jet in Instanbul and you have it in a few days if you buy direct.

All shoulder holsters suck.  They flop around and are uncomfortable.  All of them.

The one I quoted comes with a belt loop for the pistol side and for the magazine side.
It's well anchored.
I can see how the non belt loop types could move around.

yep it'll work use one frequently,also use a modified USP holster for my MK23 when hunting.Had a guy make a holder for my "can" that goes on the otherside with a spare magazine.

Just make sure you tie it down as that big guy wants to flop around (g20)

Does anyone make a kydex shoulder holster similar to the Jackass Rig?

I'm looking but don't really see anything like that.

I've never seen anything like that.
Probably a comfort thing that they are usually leather.
Who wants Kydex edges digging into their ribcage ?
The Kenai chest rig is the closest I've seen to that.

ETA
If Alien Gear has done it, then it's doable.

Have used one for years everything from government models and p227 to G19/29. Not carried the 20 but if the 227 is doable so is the 20. Bonus points if you find one in havana brown now days.

I found proper setup helps this tremendously. Need to be much higher then most folks set them. A tie down helps but not necessary imho.

+1  I've seen them worn with the gun right at the belt line, need to be higher and canted. I've never used a tie down but can see where they might be helpful.

Here again ARFCOM costs me money.  I was unaware of the Kenai rig; now one is inbound.  I'll report back.

Thank you.

Muzzle on mine is about the sleeve line. For perspective I use the highest hole and the first together and on front first hole about two down from top. Fairly severe cant though I used to carry a k frame or a python in a 9R Bianchi upside down rig lol

Blackpoint Tactical Outback is a nice option for a chest holster. I wear one when I'm in the woods or riding the Polaris.

This, I run mine just under my arm pits for a secure hold. G19.3 (Polymer Refined).

I ordered the Kenai chest rig after reading about it here.

I did a bit more than 300 miles on my motorcycle today with my Glock 20 strapped to my chest under my riding gear.  Absolutely transparent comfort.  I forgot I was wearing it.  Thumbs up.
