    Chest rig holsters for long irons.

    Anyone know someone or can recommend a commercially made chest rig for an 1858 NMA?

    This one has a 12 inch barrel and the gentleman that used to make the tanker style chest rigs doesn’t seem to be around anymore.

    But heavy for a hip gun but fun to shoot.

    Wes Daems of 7X leather.
    He made a holster for my 70cal Howdah that is absolutely amazing.

    Check out Barranti Leather. I'm wearing Mike Barranti's Northwest Hunter rig, a holster I've used for over 10 years & they are amazing shoulder holsters. I have 3 of them & you can move them anywhere you want because they are adjustable in every direction to suit you whether it walking, riding a horse, a 4 wheeler, in a safari truck, etc. One gun was 8.5", the other was 10".

    Guy in Bozeman MT makes a tanker holster that the body comes off for use on a belt rig as well. info@awlworks.com. Much of what he does is for LEO's but he does hunter and carry stuff also.

    I have one of these for my 6” guns and it is nice. Very fast shipping on them too.
    Baranti makes beautiful leather if you can wait 6-12mos

    Barranti is in the process of relocating to Texas & is building a new shop right now, but he's also keeping up with his leather work in his portable shop. His work is worth the wait.

    I have seen a GALCO mod GA 126 that looks pretty interesting. Chest rig for hunters.

    Look for an old TC contender chest holster. They work well with an Old Army. Or a Remington reproduction.
