I am looking for suggestions for a chest holster for my G-21. I have a 10mm conversion for it and I would like to pack it in the field for hunting and hiking.
I have a Guides Choice chest rig from Diamond D leathers for my Ruger Super Blackhawk and it is a great set up. I was doing some research on the net and found the Kenai chest holster from Gunfighters Inc. Does anyone have any experience with this company?

I have 3 chest holsters and they are all good.
1. DD
2. Grizzly Tuff
3. Simply Rugged
Not sure number 2 is still in business but it is an outstanding rig.
Both the leather ones are top notch quality.
Simply Rugged is more versitile as you can use the ho,step by its self for strong side or cross or attached to the chest straps.
Does anybody make a good shoulder holster for the Glock G40 MOS with a red dot optic attached?
Seems like a lot of the holsters I've seen on-line have a support strap right where the optics attach to the slide!
My buddy and I are going to try hunting whitetail deer with our 10mm pistols next month, but we are having trouble finding the right holster.
Please help!
I have a Kenai and Ronin from Gunfightersinc. They make excellent stuff, their customer support is also top notch.
My Kenai is for A S&W 4506/1006.

I just check to see if my Glock 20/21 will fit in my Bianchi M-12 holster. It does. ;D ;D ;D

The only bad thing is that it doesn't look like it will work with the 6" barrel. I think 5.3" is all that can fit in the M-12 (the stock Glock barrel is 4.6")
You can get a hip extender and mag pouch.

Here is the chest harness.

and the shoulder harness.

I have all these parts. ;D ;D ;D ;D
I bought them about 30 years ago.
I am happy now.
P.S. I think the hip extender can be used with the chest harness, but I am not 100% sure.
.
If not already mentioned, ManGearAlaska makes a very nice chest rig. It's what holds my glock 20 when I'm in the woods.
I tend to get wet alot when fishing and prefer the non leather holster options.
I like the Kenai, but would love to buy their harness and then make my own holster of leather to avoid the noise of drawing from Kydex in a hunting situation.
Anyone know of anything similar to the bianchi M-12 that will fit the Glock 40? I would prefer nylon over leather or molded plastic if I can. Main uses are Hunting, Fishing, Hiking, and working in northern Minnesota woods.

I have two that I like a aweful lot..
1) Double Diamond Holsters out of Alaska. https://www.diamonddcustomleather.com/
2) Hill People gear. https://hillpeoplegear.com/Products/tabid/762/CategoryID/1/Default.aspx
The HP is a pack with a holster and better for social affairs in the outdoors requiring a side arm and quick access as well as incontestability.

The Diamond is just that absolutely beautiful and built for life. Excellent quality and performance.

I can also recommend the Hill People gear kit bag. I have the recon and carry a Glock G40 with a Deltapoint Pro mounted to it and it fits nicely. It's a good idea to watch the video on how to draw. Once you have it down, it works very nicely.
I ordered a "custom" chest holster from Paradise Valley Leather for my RIA 52000---spoke with Gordon Dellwo and he told me they have not yet made one for a 6" slide 1911 but he would try if I wanted to be the guinea pig ----I'll report back once I get it, should be a few weeks more till it shows up at my door
here is a link to the one I ordered http://paradisevalleyleather.com/leather-chest-holster-for-semi-autos/
my chest holster from paradise valley leather s bowed up
Check out my review of the PVL chest holster in the "gear" section
Top notch quality holster and customer service, I highly recomend them
I would recommend Hill People kit bag as you can also stow compass map etc in a front access bag. Just did a 9 mile hike yesterday with one and my Glock. I put velcro on a hard index holster to position it in pouch for a good draw. Good stuff.
I really like this one http://www.2aholster.com/product/litepath-chest-holster/ muzzle down, for my Glock 40 mos. Great guy to deal with too.....and fast!

Seems like a lot of the holsters I've seen on-line have a support strap right where the optics attach to the slide!
My buddy and I are going to try hunting whitetail deer with our 10mm pistols next month, but we are having trouble finding the right holster.
Please help!

took my Paradise Valley Leather chest holster on my elk hunt this year--- field report:
**fit was perfect--it never slipped or moved the whole time, nice to have my gun where I could get to it if I needed it (yes there are bear in the area still)
**straps adjust easily so when changing layers it is easily changed for either over or under jackets and multiple layers of clothing (low was 6 degrees up on the hill before sunrise, highs were in the mid 50's so jackets and shirts had to be changed for temp so as not to sweat in the cold or overheat in the day)
** nice to have the nylon straps as I did remove the rig late in the day and just fold the straps and tossed it in my pack, also nice when back at the truck, the straps/holster fold flat and sit on the truck seat right next to me on the dark road back to the cabin
** only drawback i had was that the fully loaded double stack 10mm RIA 52000 (200gr wfn ammo) was heavy @ just about 4 pounds--- my longest day of walking was actually over 14 hours on the hill and a full 8.5 hours on my feet traversing the mountain following fresh elk track--this lead to a sore spot on my left shoulder where all the weight is on the 1 strap---I spoke with Gordon from PVL and he is sending me a newly designed shoulder pad that spreads the weight out for heavy guns like mine
*** guys, Gordon is A+ #1 best guy/company I have ever dealt with for customer service---he clearly wants all his customers to be 100% happy with their holster--hands down I would recommend him if you are thinking of a holster for your pistol

I just ordered a Chest Holster for my G40 with TLT-1 light. It was $89.45 shipped.
I will do a review when I get it.
I got my GS holster and it is very well made.
There is a fitment problem due to the suppressor height front sight I have on my G40 which enables me to co-witness with my Red Dot. The sight puts down pressure on the gun which makes the light not to slide into it's designated spot in the holster.
GS has been great to work with and we have had several communications. He wants to give me the holster free since I have had to send one back and wait while they get a new tool for the holster but I told them it was not necessary.
I hope to the have the holster before too long.
Following. I'd like to have a chest rig for my G20 long slide with Suppressor sights, RMR and TLR-1 installed.

I have one of these. I like it a lot.
http://blackhawk.com/products/holsters-accessories/holsters/tactical/nylon/nylon-universal-spec-ops-pistol-harness
Very flexable and well made. I like it so well I am buying more, for my other guns.
Used the Chesty Puller system by Simply Rugged for years with my 629 4". After getting the Glock 20 SF I scored the super nice Diamond D and loved it. Was thinking about how to adapt my Simply Rugged to use with other holsters and low and behold they have invented something incredible. Here it is and it works with MOST of my holsters adapting to the Chesty Puller system. So now you do not need to purchase a Simply Rugged holster just the Chesty Puller system ($70) and this adapter ($20). The adapter works so well I passed the Diamond D on after getting it. It will handle the average width belt slots but is not wide enough to do the wider pancake styles.

I got to use the GS Holster for several months and I really like it. I think it is a great value for the money.
I started out wearing it lower like in the picture but since have decided I like it to ride higher on my chest. Right on my breastbone. It stays out of the way no matter what I am doing but very convenient to reach when sitting in a stand or walking.
I caught myself on trail cam checking feeders.

If they can make a comfortable chest holster for my 9.5" Ruger 44 mag, they can make a good chest holster for just about anything.

Windhill Holsters makes a great chest rig for the Glock 40 MOS with the optic attachment. They can also make a shoulder rig. The shoulder rig isn't on the website but they do make it. I personally prefer the chest rig over the shoulder rig. Check it out here: https://www.windhillholsters.com/product/glock-chest-rig-new/
Simply rugged.
