Leather Glock 40 Chest Holster

Leather semi-auto chest holster for 10mm Glock pistols

The Glock 40 is the long-slide 10mm that many hunters carry as a sidearm or as a primary handgun hunting pistol. Its longer slide and barrel need a holster built for that length, and our leather Glock 40 chest holster is molded specifically for it.

Choose Glock 40 in the Gun list on the product page. If your pistol wears a red dot, pick Yes under Red dot cut (+$30) and tell us the make and model of your optic.

Chest carry for a long-slide 10mm

A long-slide pistol can dig into your leg or catch on gear in a belt holster. Carrying it on your chest keeps the muzzle clear of your stride and keeps the grip within easy reach while you glass, climb, or ride.

The adjustable harness carries the extra weight across both shoulders, and the full-grain leather is quiet when you are moving through timber.

Frequently asked questions

Do you make a Glock 40 holster for a red dot?

Yes. Choose Glock 40, pick Yes under Red dot cut (+$30) and enter your red dot's make and model. We will build the holster with room for the optic.

Will the Glock 40 holster fit a Glock 20?

No. The Glock 20 has a shorter slide and has its own fit. See our Glock 20 chest holster.

Is this good for handgun hunting?

The chest position keeps the pistol accessible while you carry a pack or rifle, which makes it a practical setup for handgun hunting.
