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.
