ive had one of these for years now and use it a lot when in the woods. mine carries my 4" 686. great for hiking, fishing, canoeing, hunting, pretty much anything outdoors. just fantastic.

FWIW, the late great holster maker Lou Alessi taught me how to break in a new leather holster without damage. Put the gun inside a small plastic bag like a freezer bag, fold the bag up tight around the gun and insert gun in the holster and leave it in for a day or two, if still a bit tight, repeat the process. your gun will now fit the holster like a glove. Hope this helps in the future. Sam

The Diamond D chest holster's are a great holster. Can stand up to the elements and is very comfortable. I have a Diamond D for my S&W 500, S&W 686, S&W .460x. Each 1 has there own Diamond D holster. The nice thing about Alaska is it is a open/c.c. carry state with out a permit. These holsters are great for when out hunting and or camping. When I sleep when I am out hunting or camping I keep it on at all times. After a short time of breaking it in you really don't feel that your carrying it. The 1 I have had the longest and still use is almost 8-9 years old and I have used it from camping to hunting. I hunt for birds to bears here in Alaska from summer to winter and Diamond D Holsters have never let me down.

Geez this makes a Great Rig!!! Thanks for showing. cheers! Jon

Cant wait to get mine! Awesome holsters!

I have no use for a big bore revolver or a chest rig but I still enjoy this series of videos. Thanks for the great channel!

I have the same holster for my 686 plus and it is great for outdoor use, especially when you need to have both hands free. Since we have quite a bit of wildlife where we live it is perfect when walking the dog of hiking in the woods. I was able to attach a couple of speed loaders to the strap which works great. One of the other great features is there is so much room for adjustment it can be worn over just about and coat you might have.

Just watched your video.....I own this holster and have ALWAYS lived in an "Open Carry" state and personally would never live where open carry was illegal or frowned upon. This is AMERICA folks and the 2A is still alive and well last I heard....but I digress......the holster is top quality and I would highly recommend it for those of us who spend a lot of time in the outdoors of this great nation.

Excellent holster

I have the Ruger Alaskan 454. I can shoot 45acp, 45 Colt and the 454, I had the cylinder cut. I had MA-GA-PORTED and really helps with the recoil!

worth every penny. ordered my second one today.

Another great holster. I don't know how you ever find these beauties. You have to do just a holster update video. Great video as always.

yes you're right I do agree on carrying a big bore revolver with a chest holster. you just gave me an idea because during the winter months I like too carry my revolvers such as my GP 100 and my super redhawks, hopefully I can find a non leather set up because that leather can be expensive. great vid brother

Saw the vid the other day - very cool way to carry a large revolver or pistol. Knew you would like it. Next time we march on Hartford we should all wear open carry chest holster with weapons.Will

Very interesting holster!

I carry a chest holster for my 5inch in hunting. I handload my own rounds in 240gr jacketed. I also hunt with game ears because when you touch this off without any type of ear protection it will hurt your ears (painfully). Also I have two speedloaders I carry for it.

~I use this system to carry my S&W 686 when hunting, hiking and camping. I can open carry in my State. ~I also use it to carry concealed in the Late Fall and Winter. ~Is it expensive? Yes, since high quality usually is. Is it worth the cost? Yes, at least I think so. It should last a few lifetimes or more. ~IMO, the marks you're getting are Beauty Marks.

I considered getting one of these for a G20. I think it would be a good match for a 10mm semi-auto. Good video as usual

Get the front of the cylinder on your 460 XVR black powder chamfered by Bowen Classic Arms. I had it done to my 460V by just sending my fluted cylinder into Bowen Classic Arms. I use the DiamondDCustom Guides Choice holster for mine too.

The leather used by DiamondDCustom is naturally tanned using vegetable oil. Just replenish it with rubbed in vegetable oil if it dries out.

SWEET!!!

That holster looks like something out of the wild west,maybe not with that beast of a revolver in it lol.Great video very cool holster.

Chest holster? Or belly holster?

beautiful holster---------that company makes them nice(my son has it).I wanted to get my tanker holster from them, but they stopped making them to concentrate on your style holster(got my tanker from el-paso leather)

i'm lucky enough to live in Pennsylvania. you are more than welcome in the great state of PA

Nice

When you pulled it out of your pocket and pointed the barrel at the camera, I was like Holy Crap that's a monster gun! But put it in that Holster and it looks right. I'm thinkin; this rig with a 5" Barrel is some good Bear deterrent.

I need one of these for my sawed off 50 cal. BMG

Do you not know what the tension screw was??? The black thingy there. I have the exact same revolver and just ordered the same holster.

Have you ever heard of the Wyoming Holster from VonRingler Leather? They are nice, a little bulky but can be worn on the chest or strong side/cross draw.

You should check out the Kenai chest holster from Gun Fighters Inc. They make one for .460/.500 X-frames. You can find them on Amazon in stock :)

Big boy gun 💪👌💯😎👊

Have this same rig for my Alaskan 454. Bout to sell it to a buddy and upgrade to this same smith. No other way to carry these 3lb pigs. Enjoy!

That is the baddest Muther humper holster ever! I have always wanted one just never ordered one. Classic!

I think pocket carry is perfect for such a big gun.

I've got an S&W TRR8 and it's been nearly impossible to find holsters for it. I'm planning to use it to deer hunt and am prolly going to have to shell out big $$$ to have a custom shoulder holster made for it. If you or anyone else has suggestions let me know.

Great vid! What brand of fleece is that, and where do I buy one?

Oh, sorry! LOL!!!! my BAD! I should have watched the whole thing before asking why you weren't wearing the Holster!!!!! I am of the opinion that a Holster should allow quick and easy access to a Firearm.

I line in an open carry state and i refuse to id when asked by police, I was just asked 2 weeks ago. I remained professional but I did say no and no laws were broken so have a nice day and walked away

Nice setup. But, that gun sure is a cannon!

I was in the gun shop today and a guy was asking for a shoulder holster for his bodygaurd 380 lol

could this work under a jacket when riding a motorcycle

Hey my friend, who makes that jacket you had on at the end?

What about one for .460v 5 inch?

I live in West Virginia and we can open carry here don't need a permit

Why aren't you wearing the Holster? If you are not able to access you Gun quickly from any style holster, I'm not sure that particular Holster is a good investment.

Nice, but a lot of weight over time on your back. No?

has he ever shown his face?

Hey man, you guys make me sick, you have a right and you WANT to give it up......OMG

People really act like that over seeing a gun when someone open carries? People just smile and wave in Georgia

I'm a fatfuck...I need a chestholster for my small 357 4" bbl... I can't find a shoulder holster that works for me. I've tried several. I won't shell out larger money on a leather holster that won't work...This seems to work... I'm ++50 chest size...Is this good for 357 ?

There is only one kind of Animal that I fear; the two legged human. God gave all human critters the freedom of choice so even God Himself can not totally control us two legged critters like he can all of his other non-human critters. Therefore God gave us the Gun.

What shitty state do you live in? Can't be worse than mine.. SF Bay Area, Ca

You and the people that think like you need to get together and protect your 2 A right, sounds to me like you guys are cracking and if so you will soon loose all your rights.

You are exaggerating about how bad gun laws are for the law abiding where you are. Come on out here to California if you want to honestly see how a U.S citizen right to bear arms can be infringed

just review the holster... don't need your long dissertation on gun laws.
