chest rig holster recs

[deemus]

I know some of you have spent time up north and have used chest rigs. Tell me what you used and what you recommend.

I have a S&W Model 629 5" that I will be using with it.

Just to clarify, you are wanting a chest rig as opposed to a shoulder rig (e.g., carrying at the side beneath the arm)?

These seem to be the gold standard currently. They are expensive but have very good reviews. I haven't used them yet, but my friend from PA has used one when he hunted in AK. He had nothing but good things to say about it

For a revolver I need it to be leather...

Ended up buying this one, and glad I did. They make the holster gun specific. Nice and tight, fits well, good workmanship.

highly recommended.

I inherited a 629 with a 5" barrel when my father passed several years ago. That is one heavy big ass gun that I wouldn't even want to carry in any kind of a holster for any length of time!

Simply Rugged Chesty Puller Holster. You can even get an adapter that lets you use your belt holster on it.

I use one for my 10mm and it's comfortable, durable, and accessible.

I have the gunfightersinc holster for a 1911 in 10mm. Quality rig, good straps, sits well during draw. For casting a rod the chest rig works well and keeps the gun out of the way. For heavy guns chest rigs are especially comfortable. You'll need to practice a new draw. I practice hooking my passive-arm-thumb in my belt for the draw. Good luck.

THats what I went with, and ended up ordering a couple more of their holsters for other guns.
