I'm looking for a shoulder holster for the M9-A1, don't have a preference as to horizontal or vertical carry. I'm a bigger guy so it does have to have longer straps.

Since the dimensions of the Steyr M-A1 seem pretty close to the S&W MP9 and the Glock 17 and maybe the Springfield XD does anyone know if one is a better substitute size wise than the others when ordering an off the shelf holster.

I bought a generic shoulder rig from CTD (ambidextrous one as I'm a lefty) and it fits my M9-A1 well. I'm not a big fan of the straps that go under the belt but they anchor the rig down nicely so that most any jacket/coat covers everything up nicely. It keeps the gun under one armpit and two mags under the other. I figured, for only $20 it was worth the experiment. If I was wearing it daily, I'd invest in something nicer that didn't necessitate the two belt straps but it's mighty hard to beat for $20...

I have, what sounds like, the same shoulder rig. It holds my C9-A1 like a dream. If you're looking to carry in a shoulder rig every day I would suggest sending a private message to xthexheadx on here. He is a close personal friend of mine, and also my gun dealer. He can set you up with whatever you want, from information to actual products. Good luck, and I hope you find something you like!

Jackass rig is comfy. My xdm45 crossbreed held my m40 very nicely.

P's me off that they don't offer the Miami Classic for the Steyrs. :wall:

They make the harness, and they make the holsters for Steyr, but they won't put them together for us.

Take a look at Roscoe holsters. I bought one at the Ft. Worth Gun Show a few years ago for my Steyr M9. He worked with me on the fit, adjustment and follow up. His quality and price is comparable to other makers. I use mine daily. It has held up well. The only criticism is the straps are a bit thin and dig into the arm areas. But that is a personal issue. I am sure he could add a different thickness or width strap if necesary or asked. Also, believe he advertises on the Steyr website here.
