How well do these conceal, and how comfortable are they? I have a 4'' K frame on the way and was also looking at shoulder options; I have heard they can really irritate your neck though.
Thanks for the details, that's what I was looking for.I initially had some irritation on my neck because I had one side of the straps tighter than the other which caused the straps to be pulled to one side. Once I adjusted both sides to sit even on my back I was fine.
I like the shoulder holster under a pullover sweatshirt. It conceals well. Sometimes I can see a very small amount of the strap near my neck but 98% of the time I don't. With a shoulder holster if it needs an adjustment usually I'm picking up and moving the straps that are over my shoulders a little near my neck so it looks like you are adjusting your shirt and not moving a gun. Also with mine there is a leather pouch on the other side of the holster to carry 2 magazines which is very convenient. I'm right handed so the gun is under my left arm which feels a little unusual at first but you quickly forget about it. The only problem is if you get hot and want to take off the sweatshirt that's a no go if you are outside the house. I probably won't wear it in the summer because I have a tendency to run hot but to carry a larger gun in winter I think it's great.
When I'm sitting in the car the gun on the shoulder holster isn't pushing against my side or back like some holsters do. The P30SK isn't huge but it isn't tiny so having the weight on my shoulders seems to be easier to me.
Just for reference if I'm not wearing the P30SK in a shoulder holster or in a OWB holster under a big coat I'm usually carrying a J Frame 642 Smith & Wesson in a pocket holster. I tend to carry something smaller than a huge gun so comfort and making what I'm carrying feel light or at least be unobtrusive is important to me.
