Title: Chest holster
Post by: 270Flat on June 27, 2013, 07:58:39 AM: I'm looking for a nylon chest holster for my Ruger 44. I've tried a couple other holsters, they just didn't fit right with my pack on. Anybody use or know of one I should be checking out.

Thanks

Simply Rugged has a conversion kit for one of their holsters to turn it into a chest rig.
7x Leather also has a nice looking leather chest holster similar to the Diamond D posted above.

Grizzly Tough makes custom nylon holsters but they appear to be more vertically oriented holsters rather than more of a cross draw.
