Tanker Style Holster For 4" Mountain Gun

[johnnyflake]

Do any of you use one?

Are there any custom holster makers, on this forum, that make them?

Other than any custom maker, that may be on this forum, which are the best available?

^^^Fixed that for you. They're about the only one I know of. Probably the simplest chest rig out there, not the most comfortable.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Actually a Tanker Rig is not a true Chest Rig. They are two different styles.

This best I found

This:

Chesty Puller Conversion System

With this:

Sourdough Pancake?


Used for my long ago sold ruger redhawk 44 magnum

I have the El Paso tanker for my mountain gun, but find this chest rig more comfortable: Guides Choice Chest Holster, Original Alaskan Holster

Thing I like best about the Simply Rugged is its a IWB, OWB pancake and with the Chesty puller it does it all. Cheers Ted

The Alaska guides choice holster that SAMWOOD posted about LOOKS like a great outdoors holster but has one flaw that I find totally unacceptable. The open toe design is good for use in the concrete jungle and tree stand hunting. I lived the outdoor life for many decades and there are a few things my outdoor holsters must have. A closed toe and a full flap. The full flap keeps rain, snow, leaves, pine needles and slop out of the guns mechanism. The closed toe keeps the muzzle free of snow and mud when sliding down mountains and falling in creeks. Outdoors wandering has found me face down and butt planted in many creeks and snow banks. Sue of Kavick Alaska on Life Below Zero needs a gun advisers badly. For her defense she has a SINGLE action Ruger with an open toed holster, too small for the gun with the barrel sticking out the bottom. Twice in the matter of minutes she fell waist deep in snow which would have resulted in a plugged barrel. Closed toes are necessary for rough outdoors adventures. Alaska chest holsters would be my choice but I would have to duct tape the toe and opt for the optional flap holster even though it doesn't actually cover the entire grip. At &165 each it seems silly to have to use duct tape on them.

I have occasionally used an older Eagle brand nylon tanker holster for my 629 Mountain Gun, it's ok, but there are better options. My other holster is a Galco Dual Position Phoenix, it offers strong side or cross draw choices.
