I recently bought a Glock 20 Gen 4 and trying to find the best way to attach a holster to a Kifaru Duplex belt. I have not bought a holster yet so open to any brand. It would be nice if it was easy to take the holster off and move to a different pack when needed. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Not a fan of a holster on my packs, they can be cumbersome and uncomfortable. I prefer something like a gunfighters inc. chest holster. Also used to run a dedicated holster belt under my packs waist belt with little problem, set up fo a cross draw. That way your gun is not dependent on your pack being on at all times.
-
I would want the holster to be attached to the belt. I rarely take my pack off when I'm hunting.
-
The questions asked of me that made me choose the Kenai chest holster was would I wear my pack when I take a #2? Would I wear it while I skin/gut an animal? Would I wear my pack when I leave the tent at 2am to potty? I answered no to all of those and those are some times I’d want my bear defense gun. I tried a couple el cheapos and a Blackhawk and I wasn’t a fan because it seemed like my belt had no real good spot for it. Also when you do drop pack if that muzzle isn’t fully enclosed your barrels hitting the dirt.

Military Surplus M12 Holster

Safariland makes a molle adapter that would work on the Kifaru belt. Bianchi makes other accesories such as drop leg and shoulder holster setups.
It's a good all around G20 setup. I like the flap that keeps rain and debris off the pistol.
Sometimes you can find new surplus as low as about $20.
-
The belt has molle web on it right?
Lots of attachments or platforms for the molle system.
-
Yes. There is two rows of PALS on my belt.

:yeah: But make sure you contact him on Instagram. There is a different JC Custom Kydex on Facebook.

I have Blackhawk Serpa IIs on all my packs. I mount them cross draw so my rifle won't hit while shouldered. Inexpensive, durable, positive retention, and comes with multiple mounting options.
-
That was the one thing that drove me crazy when mounted strong side. The stock of my rifle always rattled against my pistol.

I run this exact same set up. Solid as a rock.
-
I have never cared for strong side carry with a pack or while hiking, cross draw was always more comfortable and easy access. I don’t (and have not) run the Kifaru and setup you are contemplating but as far as a carry orientation it is what I would prefer for whatever you decide. Chest is always good as well, but not what you are asking for (as was previously pointed out).
-
Allen Gear has a molle webbing holster that works great for me, keeps it out of my way and is very secure.
-
The gunfightersinc ronin has a molle version.
Ivory holsters does too.
Ive using the gunfightersinc kenai chest rig, but if using a binoharness, I might use the Razco.

after reading about the WY guide killed by Grizz last year, and increase in black bear attacks and grizz population....
I'm considering a Kenai Chest holster system for my Glock 20 for SE Idaho-WY border archery hunts. I always carry spray too the last 3 years.
But concern over straps, buckles: Binoc harness straps, Kifaru pack straps and now Kenai chest holster straps too, all worn simultaneously.
Seems like too many straps, and maybe binding to shoulders, upper body?.
interested in Razco bino harness holster but I usually take off AGC binoc harness, put in pack when processing an elk down.
So then where to put the pistol....rather have it on me when working meat.
Anyone use this attached to your belt, with support strap around body-waist like a belt?
due to angle of kydek holster, thinking cross draw positioning.
Over the years, had 2 experiences being charged by grizzlies.
Hope not to have a 3rd, but mainly hunting thick timber for elk. Grizz likes the thick timber during daylight hours.
Once used bear spray, it worked on a young bear during early archery elk MT hunt, but dicey in a swirling wind. Didn't have pistol on me that day, in attempt to lighten things up on the hike in.....never go without again in grizz country.
2nd bear encounter, grizz charged when <80 yards away, at 30 yards I fired warning shot and grizz stopped, skedaddled back down logging road where it came from, following 2 cubs.
Didn't pull spray as steady wind was blowing in my face.
That SW-357 came out of my holster darn fast, mounted on Kifaru pack belt, but lucky as a 2nd shot was a maybe or 3rd shot out of question. Thus the Glock 20.

I have the g20 and Kenai chest rig
Binocs range finder and pack over the top
Binocs worn over half shoulder not in front
Bear spray on caribiner off side of pack
Saddled up went out to clear cut to practice quick draw and target acquisition
Never needed it in the woods.....yet
No issues

This is the holster I use:
https://aliengearholsters.com/backpack-holster.html
Website has it available for Glock 29, but I don't see one for the 20. Thought I'd share in case you have the 29 with extended mag maybe.
I don't use for EDC, but in the woods, I've been running it for 2 seasons now and I've been very happy with it. I use the thumb release so it has level 2 retention. I mount it on my left shoulder strap (I'm RH) at chest level. Only problem is if I'm using bino-pac - still working that out.
Lots of different angles to set it at. Should attach to pack belt if it's not too thick of a belt.
Lots of expansion packs to make it more versatile. For example, I can take the holster right off of my pack strap and put it on a mount I have under dash in my truck and the gun never has to leave the holster. Very bomb-proof, safe, and secure.

I do the same with G29, Kenai holster goes on first, bino’s next, then the pack. Allows for easy access and comfortable.

Just shopping myself actually and noticed Alien Gear has this drop leg holster for a glock 20:
