Chest Rig Holster for 1911

[JWheeler331]

Anyone know where I can get a pattern for a 1911 Chest Rig? 

Looking to make a holster for my dad and I think he would benefit from a chest holster while out walking on his farm. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated it.

Stohlmans book on How To Make Holsters has patterns for 1911 pistol AND a shoulder harness - should be very easy to adapt both to something that suits your dad.

I don't really make those rigs (for years now) but I would recommend SOME type of retaining strap.  Bending over on the farm (or over the edge of the boat to lip that bass) can go badly in a hurry (yeah, I know for a fact).

Yeah, I totally bet it could go bad. I would def. do that. 

 

I will try to check out the book and see what's in there. Thanks.
