Title: Need a good chest holster
Post by: Ghost Hunter on February 23, 2024, 07:31:04 AM: I've neglected packing sometimes when working on my property. Need something secure, comfortable, and doesn't hamper activity with hand tools, chainsaws, etc. Looking at the Kenai or Denali for my N-frame S&W. Anyone using these or other recommendations?

Post by: elkslayer069 on February 23, 2024, 07:40:34 AM: I’ve currently have a gunfighters inc for my 329pd. It’s so tight it’s a pain to draw unless you have the straps sucked down tighter than I would like for all day comfort. I’ve been thinking of ordering one of these and trying it. https://invaderconcepts.com/collections/chest-holsters

Post by: Duckslayer89 on February 23, 2024, 07:51:51 AM: I went over every option and went with this. Recon kit bag medium size. Fits my revolver or my Sig M18 with 21 round mag and sight. I like it because I have one that fits multiple guns plus extra magazines or my phone

I had the Kenaii gunfighter traded it off, I prefer the Diamond D, I'm with you hard to beat a leather holster
I use mine with a G20, works very well

Post by: TCHunter25 on February 23, 2024, 02:44:55 PM: I got a chest rig for my Glock 10mm from Windhill Holsters out of La Grande. Very similar to the Kenai, but also supporting a more local business. Win Win.

Post by: Skyvalhunter on February 23, 2024, 04:56:40 PM: One thing about the gunfighter is the gins not going to fall out. It is tough to unholster the firearm

They must be popular. 6 - 8 weeks out the way I ordered it. Might not have it for my first spring trip. I can deal with that.

I run a gunslinger bingo harness. I carry a judge revolver in it. But I don’t think they are making them any longer. Wish I could find another one for my grandson.

Don't have one ( yet ) . I'm using a Gunfighters Inc Kenai with my 10mm 1911 . Saw a guy on TikTok with a Venandi and looked into them . Seems like the perfect combo for Hunting season when you need binos and backup pistol . Only really use the Kenai when mushroom , berry picking .
