A chest holster design i call the backcountry

[DoubleKCustomLeathercraft]

I came up with this design about 3 years ago trying to figure out a good chest holster for my 44. Originally I made it using lace, but eventually settled on "Titan" brand "survivor cord" paracord (tinder, snare wire, monofilliment fishing line, etc). I weave the holster onto the harness using about 8 feet of the cord. I know it's not a ton of cordage, but a couple snares and tinder is nice to have in the montana wilderness. I use a metal stick release buckle on the strong side to make it easier to put on and take off. Operates just like a cobra buckle. 

 

This is my first actual sale of my design which makes me excited. I've made plenty of the Alaskan style chest holsters, but that's not my pattern. The holster is made for a Freedom Arms 83 chambered in a the wrist breaking .475 Linebaugh (basically .480ruger for those that haven't heard of the LB) with a red dot sought mounted on top. This customer also wanted the gunslinger stitch on the shoulder strap. The grizzly bear seems to be a very popular pattern for me. And it's fitting for where we roam.

Here's how it rides pretty much. The gun's weight will bring it down in front a little bit further, but I didn't have the gun to work with.

Nice job!

I like the way you added in the paracord.
