S&W 629 Mountain gun- fit with Kenai chest holster? Any experience?

[Westside88]

The Gunslingers inc Kenai chest rig looks like just what I need for my S&W 629 mountain gun 44 mag. It’s slightly different than a standard 629, including barrel profile and a little material on the cylinder. I contacted the company and they got back to me right away. Unfortunately they don’t have experience with this model, so they’re unable to answer whether it fits correctly. Anyone have experience with this combo? Thanks

No experience with the Kenai.

As an alternative, but Diamond D may be an option to consider for you.  They have multiple Model 629 options in the drop down, but I'd advise just contacting them and asking them.  I have the Model 627 Performance Center model, and it wasn't in their drop down but they made me a holster to fit it.  I ended up modifying my holster a little as I put a red dot sight on my pistol, so had to cut a notch for that.  I like these holsters quite a bit, especially with the extra pouches on the shoulder strap for my moon clips.

I also carry the S.W. 629 Mountain Gun. (My hunting leases are all in Grizzly country). I use a Galco cross draw that I am very happy with.  It does not get in the way of anything even while driving.
Galco makes their holsters gun and calibers specific.

I use a Kenai for my Ruger super redhawk 454 casull and love it.

I run a 329PD in a Kenai that's modified for my Kifaru belt 😉 Works great

Thanks everyone, I’m fairly certain it would work but since they’re fairly expensive (I don’t mind paying for quality!) I’m Hoping someone’s tried this combo. I believe they’re style relies on a snug fit.

Super happy with my kenai holster. He won’t refund you if you don’t like it or it doesn’t fit?

This doesn’t sound like Adam at all. I have had them fix / adjust holsters in the past and they do it with no questions.   I can’t imagine he would not refund money for a holster that is unused if the customer was not happy.

I’m ordering one for my G20. Seems like I asked him about my mountain gun awhile back but can’t remember.

Price seems right

I think this was a question from Pnwrider. I emailed them about fitment and they didn’t know since they aren’t familiar with this pistol. I’m just hoping someone knows before I order since I’d prefer a custom color combo. If I can’t verify beforehand I’ll probably order a stock color in case it doesn’t work out. I’m happy with their attempts to answer my question

Just a weekend bump to see if anyone’s tried this combo

Where are you located? I’ve got one for my g40 that you could try on if it would help. would give you a good idea on length at least (g40 has a 6” barrel). Your revolver is likely a little wider so wouldn’t be apples to apples. I’m Renton highlands area and commute down to auburn/fed way once or twice a week.

[Westside88]

Thanks for the offer. I’m down in Grays Harbor.  I’m thinking I’ll probably purchase a standard color and if it won’t work send it back. I’m mostly concerned about how snug it fits around the cylinder since I mountain bike a fair amount

I use the Diamond D for my N framed 6" Smith 41 mag. It can be worn 2 ways , as a chest rig or off to the side. Chest rig is out of the way for everything!
