Leather Chest Holster for Semi-Autos

This has been a first rate experience through and through. I had done some perusing of the various holster makers online and after finding Paradise Valley I am extremely pleased and will be making referrals here. I had questions about getting a holster to fit my 1911 with trijicon rmr sight. After following Gordon's instructions and making some measurements as well as taking pictures with the pistol on graph paper ended up with great fit! The website is very helpful in getting the right information from you the purchaser to him the maker. Take the time to fill it out. If you have questions Gordon will have the answers. It took about 3 weeks which you are made aware of when making the purchase via a tab on the order form. I wouldn't even really consider it a wait. You are getting a high quality, handmade product. I will be getting more holsters from Gordon in the future.

The holster is great and I appreciate your working with me and getting the coyote tan strapping to go with the light colored holster. It looks much better than black would have. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a reasonably priced chest holster for a 1911.

I would have like to see the addition of a lower strap added to go the belt to keep this snug during the draw of the gun from the holster.

After doing the usual internet search, luckily I found a review at a Glock forum of the PVL chest holster. Any holster needs to move and flex while it's being used and that's especially true with a chest or shoulder rig. Kydex just doesn't allow much flex like leather, and a pouch or bag is too limiting in many ways for me, which is why this rig caught my eye. I haven't trail carried yet but around the ranch it's begun to conform to my body nicely. Drawing and presenting the weapon takes a bit of practice but can be done with little muzzle sweep of nearby people. The steel reinforced thumb tab is well done and the weapon is protected with easy access. Overall fit and finish is to notch with well rounded edges and smooth curves, tight stitching, uniform color and good attention to detail, this is professional quality craftsmanship.

I have been using my chest rig for several weeks. It fits my Springfield Loaded and my Remington R1 very well. This is a nice solid working holster. Not fancy but strong and reliable. If your rating system allowed it I would give 5 stars for value and four stars overall. I am very happy with it

A+++++, 5 huge stars, 2 thumbs up!!! Best customer service in the industry, I contacted Gordon to see if he could make a chest holster for my RIA pro ultra match HC 6" - 10mm pistol. He made me a special chest holster to fit my double stack 1911 6" barrel for woods carry. Best customer service ever. Spot on perfect fit. Even took my suggestion to modify the harness to incorporate a rear belt loop strap to keep the 4 pound pistol from riding down in the front. I would recomend paradise valley leather chest holsters over all others on the market. Comfortable to wear, no "strap rub" even with a heavy hunting pack. Fully adjustable with plenty of extra strap for over heavy clothing. What more can I say, I love mine and may buy a 2nd for my 44mag revolver in the future.

I just received my chest holster from Paradise Valley Leather and I can say I am very pleased with the quality and craftsmanship. Price was reasonable and service top notch

very comfortable harness, holster fits gun perfectly

Thanks for a great product, Gordon! A quality and well priced chest holster.
