Others wiser and more experienced than I have pretty much proven that drawing simultaneously from two shoulder holsters not practicable. The second gun is there for a "New York Reload."
I can draw from a right handed shoulder rig with my left hand ( i am left handed) so it seems like a person could get two out at once pretty smoothly. However, I am not older or wiser so I will refrain from submitting my opinions to adamantly.
Besides, the movies portray duel wielding as doable as well as extremely tactical and cool.
Which of course proves almost nothing.
"What do you think"
Well, It's time to take the Christmas cards down and dawnie is a very good cook. From the looks of it, to good of a cook, she needs to cut you off. [:D]
I think you won't wear it but a couple hours before the back and shoulders are telling you to stop. That's about all I could stand at a time with one plus mags on the other side.[:D]
I have one of those but its one holster and a double mag pouch on the other side. Mine fits a Sig P220 .45. I used to wear it when I wore a suit for court appearances.
Galco makes nice shoulder rigs, but shoulder holsters are something that take a little getting used to. Looks good on you David, but next time wear a cumberbun. [;)]

This is true, wear one for a little bit and you will see it makes your shoulders sore. I imagine the weight of two pistol would increase that fatigue. I have a Galco shoulder rig for my Glock 19, it's the rawhide lite weight model. It takes some getting used to if I haven't worn it in a while.
I don't know about the wisdom or necessity of carrying 2 pistols, but the rig looks good. I've found shoulder rigs to be surprisingly comfortable and concealable. I carried a Sig 226 in a Galco rig well concealed under a light windbreaker in the past, but it's seldom practical here in Florida. I've seen nice-looking lightweight vests at concealedcarry dot com, but haven't tried one yet.
how long do you usually leave your Christmas cards up?
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

You're right. A vertical shoulder holster does conceal well. However, if the holster is positioned far enough back for optimal concealment, the pistol grip is hard for a fat guy to reach. The horizontal shoulder holsters solve that problem for fat guys.
Ah going retro. Like Jerry Ahern's "Survivor" (I think that was the titles?) dude. Yes I know you're not packing Combatmaor have the Alessi rig but kind a sort of.
Now you need to get a pair of cross draw for the inside the pants and two in the small of the back.
We has Sonny Crocket, now we have David Crocket[:D] Your NOT going to start wearing pastel shorts with knee high black socks and sandals are you???? If so, we are excommunicating you from GunBroker[:D][:D][:D] Still a handsome man though.[;)]

I don't think you will find it practical. And to heavy. A 2" 66 gives me 6 rounds and last I checked the stats on shootings 2.5 shots fired is average.

I have seen the "average" figures, and those go out the window if your situation is the one that is way above average.
A deputy was off-duty in Walmart, armed only with a six-shot revolver and no reload. He got into a gunfight with a man who burst into the store with a rifle. He was shot, but fired all six rounds at the bad guy. Fortunately, the rifleman retreated, and the local police, who had been chasing him met up with him outside and caused him to seek room temperature.
Suppose the rifleman had chosen to advance or stand his ground and keep shooting at the deputy. Deputy is out of ammo and hit already. He would have been an easy target at that point.
If I die in a gunfight, I don't want it to be because I didn't bring enough ammo.

OK. My 2nd choice of carry is a 40 cal with 15 rounds of Hydroshock with another 15 round spare mag with Hydroshocks.

Uncanny resemblance. [:D]
If the pistols were with the barrel pointed down instead of horizontal, they might be easier to conceal.
