Chest Holsters

A chest holster is built for one purpose: secure, accessible carry when traditional holster positions fail. Whether hiking steep country, riding ATV trails, bowhunting deep in brush, or working in conditions where hip holsters snag or become obstructed, a well-designed chest holster keeps your firearm high, stable, and immediately reachable. Hunters, outdoorsmen, professional guides, and backcountry shooters trust this carry position because it offers visibility, retention, and fast draw even when wearing backpacks, waders, winter gear, or layered clothing.

At Hunting Holsters, we focus on durability and function first. Our chest holsters are crafted to remain comfortable during long days in the field, distributing weight across the torso while locking your handgun securely in place. Adjustable harness systems allow a custom fit, while rigid Kydex or reinforced leather ensures a precise firearm hold. Each holster is designed to minimize bounce, protect your firearm from the elements, and allow confident access with gloved or wet hands.

This category includes universal-fit chest rigs for backcountry defense, model-specific Kydex chest holsters for popular pistols, and premium leather chest holsters for hunters who value classic feel and long-term reliability. Whether carrying for predator protection or long-distance trekking, a chest holster helps maintain readiness when your sidearm is a crucial tool—not an accessory.
