I guess you pay your money and takes your choice. I like them both, they're just different.
For a belt holster I would certainly agree with you. I bought a unused, cast off Uncle Mike's chest rig and you hardly know the .500 is in it when you're walking and it doesn't catch on underbrush like a belt holster does. Don
