Black Leather Vertical Shoulder Holster for Revolvers Cross Chest Bandolier

The Black Leather Vertical Shoulder Holster for Revolvers Cross Chest Bandolier is designed for hunters and outdoorsmen who need dependable sidearm access when belt carry is restricted by backpacks, waders, or heavy outerwear. The off-center, cross chest bandolier layout positions the revolver high across the torso, supporting a consistent draw while remaining comfortable during long hours in the field.

This vertical shoulder configuration keeps the revolver accessible whether standing, seated, hiking, or moving through brush, without competing with waist-mounted gear.

Carry style and fit

  • Cross chest bandolier carry: Worn diagonally across the torso with the holster positioned off-center for balanced access.
  • Vertical revolver orientation: Helps manage barrel length and supports a controlled, repeatable draw.
  • Pack-friendly design: Clears backpack hip belts, chest packs, waders, and layered clothing.
  • Adjustable harness system: Shoulder, chest, and stabilizer straps allow the holster to be tuned for body size and movement.

Build and materials

  • Black leather construction: Structured holster body supports consistent positioning and long-term durability.
  • Reinforced stitching: High-stress areas are built for sustained outdoor use.
  • Finished edges and riveted hardware: Designed to withstand regular field carry without premature wear.

Retention and Draw

  • Thumb-break retention strap: Adds a deliberate retention step while remaining intuitive during presentation.
  • Frame-based sizing: Holsters are patterned by revolver frame size (snub, medium, large) to support proper fit and retention.
  • Stable draw angle: The vertical orientation reduces movement interference during walking or climbing.

Integrated Cartridge Loops

  • Shoulder-mounted ammunition loops: Keep spare cartridges accessible without requiring a separate belt carrier.
  • Load-distributing bandolier strap: Helps spread weight across the upper torso for improved comfort during extended wear.

frequently asked
questions

 
 
1. What is this holster designed for?

This black leather vertical shoulder holster is designed for revolver field carry when belt carry is uncomfortable or blocked by backpacks, waders, hip belts, or heavy outerwear.

 
2. Is this a true centered chest holster?

No. This is a cross chest bandolier carry. The revolver rides high on the torso in an off-center position, supported by an adjustable bandolier strap and stabilizing straps for consistent access.

 
3. How do I choose the correct size?

Select your chest measurement for harness fit, then provide your revolver make and model. Fit is typically set by revolver frame category (for example: snub, medium, or large) to support secure retention and a smoother draw.

 
4. What does “hand orientation” mean?

Hand orientation refers to your draw hand. Choose Right for a right-hand draw or Left for a left-hand draw so the holster is configured for natural access and safe presentation.

 
5. How do the straps help with stability?

The adjustable chest strap and stabilizing waist or belt strap help reduce bounce and shifting. Proper adjustment keeps the holster close to the body for steadier movement and a more repeatable draw.

 
6. What is the purpose of the thumb-break retention?

The thumb-break strap adds an extra layer of security to help keep the revolver retained during movement. With safe practice using an unloaded firearm, it supports a consistent release during the draw.

 
7. What are the cartridge loops for?

The cartridge loops keep spare rounds organized on the bandolier strap for quick access. Loop fit can vary by cartridge size; ensure your order details match the cartridge type you plan to carry.

 
8. Should I expect a break-in period?

Yes. Leather holsters commonly require a short break-in period. Always check fit and function with an unloaded firearm, and allow the leather to settle naturally with normal handling and safe practice.

 
9. How should I care for the leather?

Wipe the holster with a clean, dry cloth after use. If it gets wet, allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat. Use leather conditioner sparingly as needed to help prevent drying and cracking.

 
10. Is this holster suitable for hunting and backcountry use?

It is intended for outdoor and field carry where stable access matters, such as hunting, hiking, fishing, ranch work, and ATV or UTV use. Users are responsible for safe handling and compliance with local laws.
