Hey, you can't do that...come on here and show a fine piece of hide like that and just say "Have a good day".
Who made that beautiful piece of art? What gun you hiding in it?

Hog Shooter: The belt around the waist and the strap over the shoulder are real long. They have some real big guys wearing them on their website. Take care.

Here is my chest rig. It is way "over built" with very thick leather, hardware used in saddle making and real lambs skin/wool padding. That is our very own Smith357 modeling it for us:

Those are some nice pics guys, thanks for sharing!!
I don't think you can overbuild one..LOL...Saddle skirting leather is the "only" leather to use in my opinion.
Here is a look at my 7X Leather Chest Rig
I tried to support as much weight as possible from the torso strap, so you don't have all the weight hanging on your shoulder.
What I really like about the rig is that it can be worn in serveral postitions, from the center of your chest, down at your belt buckle area , shoulder holster postiton, or cross draw...with very simple adjustments. I can easily draw my revolver even with a backpack and I can still wear my binos. (this little "snap case" is for earplugs...because you sure can't shoot the 500 without them..lol)
It is carrying a 4" 500S&W with Rosewood, Badger Kframe conversion grips

A couple of years ago, I saw a pretty good review/discussion on 10-8 of a chest rig for large revolvers. It was made by a fellow in Alaska as I recall. I don't think I have the website saved any more.

That is a fantastic picture. Montana? I was born there, but have no memory of it. I need to return at some point.

More of a stomach rig than chest level but close enough. El Paso Tanker rig for 4" N-frame:

Yes MT..it is home..LOL I was born about +/-10 miles from where all these pics were taken.
This picture was taken on the peaks in the background of the first pic(just above my left elbow) This pic has my 7 1/2" SBH 44 mag in a chest holster. It is just under 11,000 FT The pic was taken July 17th.
And this one was taken half way up the backside of the big mountain on the far right in the background of the fist pic. The chest rig in this pic is holding a SBH Bisley Hunter with a 2x6 Bushnell Elete 3200 scope.

Thanks. I've been interested in such a rig for farm carry for some time now... I just don't like anything that barely fits. That rig looks like it would have plenty of room for adjusting.

I have a guy that is 475lbs that wears one of my rigs...and the funny thing is that, just by adjusting the straps through the friction buckles, I can put the same rig on my 38lb 6 year old son...yeah there is extra strap length eveywhere..but the rig still sets secure on his little chest
Very funny! to watch him run around showing it off...LOL

I sure get a lot grief about that picture
..She was acually shooting the 44mag in that pic and I was trying to get muzzle flash as the gun went off... (You couldn't see the holster when she used two hands) she was scared to shoot it one handed with her weak (right) hand, "imagine that"!. All 107 Lbs of her handled the 44 pretty well
.. She shot up most of my ammo trying to get the muzzle flash tooThis was as close as I got:...you can see the smoke and the barrel riseing..but no fire

I will not swear to it 100%, but it sure looks like the product. The website has been updated since then, if it is the same maker. I would seriously consider such when I get my hands on a 5" 27-2.
Added:
I found the string on 10-8. This is the same maker; he apparently updated the website as he changed the name. It was pretty well reviewed. Another product well reviewed was the chest holster from Survival Sheath Systems: "http://www.survivalsheath.com/holsters/index.htm".
