I need a Chest Holster!

[Zaicran]

I have a S&W 500 Mag 11.5” barrel with a scope, I am in dire need of a chest holster to carry on my hunts…

Any suggestions?

Does anyone here actually use a shoulder rig?

Looking ahead to cooler weather Currently carrying a Glock 19 IWB about 1:00. Doesn't bother me I'm perpetually cold in the winter. Always have a zip up jacket on. Struck me that this may be a convenient way to carry but unsure of their actual usefulness outside of movies. Would prefer not...

I think one was mentioned here

No personal experience with this specific holster but Simply rugged makes nice holsters:

Scoped Revolver Holster

ETA: I missed the 11.5 inch barrel. Holy moley... He can probably make something custom for you...

Gunfighter seems to have them. Not cheap. However, can get other holsters for the rig if you want to carry other things later.

My go-to holster company has long been El Paso Saddlery but another company that makes awesome stuff is Diamond D Custom Leather. You might look at their products.

Kenai Chest Holster is the way. I have one for my S&W 629 and also for my G20 10mm with Surefire X300, which I carried roughly 40 miles over 5 days in the MT backcountry.

Unsure if they make one that can accommodate a scope like that though.

I'll be in El Paso next week if anyone needs me to pick them up something and bring it back to MD?

I have a couple of large handgus that I carry on an impromptu chest holster... i just put my regular holster on a large belt and loop it over my neck bandolere style. It works and I save yet another holster in the box.

MidWayUSA has had some chest revolver rigs on pretty significant sales of late ….

… ETA: I missed the 11.5 inch barrel. Holy moley...

Not sure what you mean by "a scope like that though". It's a standard pistol scope from Burris.

I am not sure if they make a holster to accommodate a scoped pistol

Better?

That’s what I use when out in the woods. Very comfortable with my P229

I use the kanai for my ruger 454, it works very well for bow hunting.
