I have been wanting a chest holster for my Blackhawk Flattop 44 Special with 5.5" barrel. With the help of Hags I finally have one for it to ride in. This will help keep it high and dry in the Louisiana Swamps. Thanks Hags.

Very nice but for me the rivets are a killer.

Thanks. Normally I would have used Chicago Screws there but did not have any on hand that were long enough and I needed it to wear for a hunt so I went with the rivets. Def not my first choice since its so final.

Very nice J! Glad it worked out. I've thought about rivets myself. Just ended up liking the movement you get with Chicago screws.  But, as you say, not final. You can always drill them out. I like what you did with the shoulder strap as well. I have gone to a different take on that as well.

I can still move my tabs even though they have the rivets. I was afraid they would get to tight but I made sure to not tighten them down all the way so that the straps can still move.

great job the rivets rock IMO they allow for some movement and don't come unscrewed and lost out in the middle of no where

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Thanks. I prob. would have used screws if I had them on hand but the rivets are working out well.
