Product details

Semi-Auto Chest Holster

Built for folks who spend more time outside than in, our Semi-Auto Chest Holster is designed to keep your sidearm secure, comfortable, and close at hand no matter where the day takes you. Whether you're hunting elk in the high country, checking cattle, riding horseback, or covering miles with a pack on your back, this holster keeps your firearm accessible when a traditional belt holster gets in the way.

Each holster is handcrafted in Montana from premium vegetable-tanned leather, then carefully molded to the specific make and model of your firearm for a secure fit and dependable retention. No generic one-size-fits-most design—every holster is shaped to your pistol to provide a fit that feels right from day one and only gets better with time.

We finish every piece with smooth, hand-burnished edges and attention to detail you won't find in mass-produced gear. The adjustable harness distributes weight comfortably across your shoulders, making it easy to wear all day whether you're under a backpack, behind the wheel, or layered up for cold weather.

Like all Paradise Valley Leather products, this holster is built the old-fashioned way—with quality materials, honest craftsmanship, and the belief that good leather gear should last a lifetime.

 Features

  • Handmade in Montana
  • Premium full-grain vegetable-tanned leather
  • Custom molded to your specific firearm
  • Hand-burnished edges for a clean, finished look
  • Comfortable chest-carry design for all-day wear

    Exceeds my expectations. It is an absolute quality piece from the color to the fitment of my pistol. I have another for a super redhawk and I will no doubt be purchasing one for every handgun I get. Very pleased with this American made product

    Great Backcounty Holster

    Posted by Brett Iverson on Aug 20th 2022

    My Glock 20 and I love this chest holster. The design is great and well thought out. My gun fit perfect in the holster and with the leather strap clipped in around the back of the slide, its not going anywhere. It holds the gun very secure and thanks to a thin well placed piece of metal on the back of the thumb break, it is still easy to quickly engage the thumb break and draw your handgun. I like that feature because I was worried about how quickly I could draw my gun out having to push a leather thumb break towards my chest, but the metal support gives your perfect leverage to easily have a under 2 second draw. I appreciate the choice in minimal hardware on the retention system, many other chest holsters come with 2-3 large buckles and up to 2 in webbing. Going with a single small 1 inch buckle, D rings, and 1 inch webbing makes for easy setup, easy on and off as well as a very smooth basically unnoticeable ride with a pack on. The holster holds secure and comfortably on my body. It kind of reminds me of an Enigma holster the way the leather around the webbing connection points wrap around and conform to the curve of your chest. I will say I had to shorten the webbing on the retention system because it came with a lot of excess and did not fit properly. But after having a friend shorten and resew the shoulder strap I couldn't be happier with it. I recommend this company and holster to anyone looking for a reliable way to carry in the backcountry. I just finished a 6 day backpacking trip in the Bob Marshall and the holster performed beyond expectations for hiking, fly fishing, and just hanging around. I love that my gun is always within reach and no longer confined to a holster on my backpack or dealing with getting that holster off my backpack and onto my belt just to have it on me. I have yet to find a way to make it work with my bino harness, but that's not the holsters fault it's not made to be worn with one. Great reliable product, you won't regret buying one.
