Just got my Air Marshall II in the mail a few hours ago.  I have my Beretta M9 and an extra mag in it right now.  Minimal adjustment to get it to feel good.  I am very pleased.  High quality stiching and well made.  Didn't think it would feel or work so well when I first took it out of the package, but I am plesantly surprised. Many thanks!

It has been almost seven years now since I first reviewed the Kangaroo Shoulder Holster. Since that time, I have received a lot of positive feedback from users of that unique holster, and only one negative, so that is a very good thing. If I recommend something, and it is no good, I hear about it. The one negative had to do with the delivery of the product through a mix-up somewhere, and was not a criticism of the holster itself.

Anyway, Kangaroo has now expanded their line to include holsters that fit just about any handgun that one might want to conceal, from the smallest semi-autos and mini revolvers to the duty-sized high-capacity weapons favored by many who choose to go heeled. Sizes are now available from small to 4XL to fit any body size, and any body shape. The holster works very well for both women and men. The Kangaroo holsters now have compartments for handcuffs, flashlights, and extra magazines, depending upon the model chosen.  As always, the Kangaroo holsters are still made from breathable, soft cotton for wear next to the user’s skin, if desired.  It is a dandy way to carry a weapon, and works pretty much with any type of clothing that has more coverage than a Brazilian bikini. These holsters are adjustable for fit and comfort, and are still priced below forty bucks for the most expensive model, and that price includes shipping. Back in 2004, we were not doing videos, so we have added that as well, to show that with the Kangaroo, hiding a full-sized weapon is no problem at all.

I have been using the Kangaroo Holster and I must let you know how pleased I am.  I hardly know I am wearing it.  It conceals my Sig 380 quite well.  Before Kangaroo Carry I used to wear a belly band.  I would recommend the Kangaroo Carry Holster any day, especially for a petite lady who enjoys wearing her dresses and skirts!

P.S. Also, thank you for all your fast replies.

I wore the holster all day today packing a 1911 and it was amazing.  I have a paddle holster, a belt holster for the small of the back, and even an inside the pant model.  None of them even come close by comparison.  Driving, walking, even running ( I checked), this holster was almost non-existent.  Extremely light and comfortable, I feel that I can now carry in virtually any situation.  If I'm wearing a jacket, as I was today, I wear it over my shirt.  No jacket,  I'll wear it under my shirt.  What could be easier?  Fantastic!

"I was looking for a solution to carry a 380 while jogging. The Micro380 worked perfectly. I went for a run this morning and I was worried that the gun would move or come lose but it did not. I wore the holster over a tshirt with a sweatshirt over the top. The gun stayed in place the entire time and it had other pockets to carry my CCW license and a spare magazine. I would highly recommend this product for any form of concealed carry. If it is comfortable while jogging, then it will work for most any application. I am now placing an order for the Air Marshall to handle my larger pistols. Thank you Kangaroo for putting out such a wonderful product.”

A part of my duties as the Feature Editor of Gunblast is to sort through the many products that are brought to my attention as the possible subject of an article. Some are useful, interesting, new, nostalgic, or some combination of these attributes.  Other products are flimsy, stupid, useless, or cheap, and are sometimes a combination of all of these features.

When the Kangaroo shoulder holster was brought to my attention, I thought that it would fall into the latter category. I have seen numerous belly band holsters at gun shows, and have even tried a couple of them. They are usually made of elastic, and are very uncomfortable and hot. They also work their way down due to gravity as one goes about his daily routine, and are in need of constant adjustment. I find bellyband holsters to be pretty much useless for my needs. I initially thought that the Kangaroo holster was just another bellyband, but I did agree to give it a look.

Ok, so I got the holster in yesterday and wore it for the first time last night on duty, and I must say it worked amazingly well!! It stayed in place all night and as the night went on I only noticed it was there when I would index it! So great work with the holster and I will be recommending it to other officers that carry back ups. On a side note the extra Velcro from the extension actually stuck to some Velcro on the vest just made it that much more stable. Thanks for all the help and sending that holster my way!

While I have been a CCW permit holder for many years, I have made several mistakes when buying guns and holsters for concealed carry. First I went and found the biggest gun I could comfortably shoot and then tried to hide it. I prefer to carry my Springfield Arms 1911 in a shoulder rig for comfort. This does not lend itself to comfortable wearing during the summer months. So during the warmer months I have settled on a Taurus 357 with a two-inch barrel for most occasions.

Just received my new Kangaroo Carry shoulder holster.  Faithful readers will recall I've been trying out several shoulder holsters of late.  Each has their pros and cons but the Kangaroo is a different design and worth talking about.  After visiting their web site and reviewing the products and videos, I was impressed.  An E-mail query was quickly answered by the company owner.

My question was which model should I choose to house my PT709. He replied the Air Marshal model would be best. Not only would it be a good fit for the 709; it would also hold larger pistols.  (The web site says the Air Marshal has a slight cant, making it a bit harder to conceal.)  So I placed my order and five days later it's here.  I'm not going to try to describe it.  That's best done with the pics and videos on the website:

http://www.kangaroocarry.com/

What I can tell you at this point is that it took only about an hour of wearing it with the 709 before I felt very comfortable with it.  The only problem is that the gun sits so well under my arm that I could probably never do a really quick draw.  However, I realize very few situations are likely to be 'wild west' confrontations: you see or feel trouble coming; you open your shirt or coat and put your hand on the weapon.

Then I decided to test the second point the owner made in his reply. When I first picked up the Stoeger Cougar with loaded magazine, my thought was "No way am I going to carry this."

Surprise!

It fit the Kangeroo holster quite well and the slight cant and the longer grip of the pistol situate it to where I can get my fingers around the butt very quick.  The wide straps of the Kangeroo distribute the weight well and, if I need to balance myself, the stong side of the holster has pouches for two magazines.  So I put on an untucked Dickies work shirt (I'm wearing the holster over a T-shirt, though you can wear it next to skin), checked myself in the mirror and saw only a very slight print of the gun butt - not enough to arouse suspicion unless someone is actively looking for such bulges.

For the next few days I'll wear the holster several hours each day, getting myself accustomed to the weight. The real test will come when I wear it to a family gathering on Christmas Eve - especially so since most of the family members are gun owners with (or pending) CC permits.
