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

    1911 Chest Holster

    Posted by Reuben Edejer on Mar 24th 2022

    Excellent craftsmanship, great fit and finish, excellent service! Bought a custom dark brown chest holster and mag pouch for my 1911 extended barrel, 6”, and requested to extend their holster 1” and extend the mag pouch 1” to accommodate the 10 round 1911 mags. The holster and pouch turned out fabulous. Perfect weight and feel. Wanted something not so bulky and heavy, so the lightweight straps and leather combination worked out great. Glad I found you on the internet researching chest rigs. I highly recommend.

    Not in gun list - NO Problem

    Posted by Kenneth Edelstein on Mar 23rd 2022

    I have an HK P7M8 - it's the "squeeze cocker" action - a real classic. They did not have a mold for it but offered to get one (at their cost) and gave me a discount - which amounted to free postage. The unit is both comfortable and practical. It's my driving holster with a light windbreaker (a bit oversize). It's VERY fast when necessary to deploy. Part of the deal was for me to buy the shoulder pad - very comfortable. They even installed the pad for me. It had the usual new holster tightness. A few nights with the P7M8 in a Ziplock in the holster made it "just right". I am super pleased both with the custom service and the workmanship. Would not sell it for twice what I paid. Thank You for a great job.

    Glock 20

    Posted by Damon Rohr on Feb 3rd 2022

    I received mine today before the expected delivery date. I am blown away by the attention to detail and the functionality of the design. The leather itself is top quality. It feels smooth and rigid with beautiful coloring and precise stitching. Mine happened to fit my Glock 20 without any ziploc trick or break in period. The nylon webbing is smoother than expected and seems very durable. It keeps the holster tight to the body without sacrificing movement or comfort. The nylon’s ability to fold up and tuck away neatly with the holster is a personal plus I didn’t think about until coming across this holster. Wearing it just feels right, dispersing the weight of the firearm with an intuitive draw angle. I’m most excited about the thumb break. It is slick. Longevity is to be determined but I have no doubts. I hike/backpack all over Montana and, coincidentally, often through the section of Absaroka range in Paradise Valley. Overall, I’m quite pleased with this holster. I’ll put it to the test and if I ever do need another one, I will surely be getting it from Paradise Valley Leather.

    Pistol chest holster

    Excellent holster. Very well made. They even accounted for my mini red dot on the top when forming the leather.

    Excellent Fit

    Posted by Douglas on Dec 14th 2021

    The holster I received is top quality. It fits the firearm perfectly, and the thumb-break is exceptional. Complete one-handed draw, re-holster, and re-snap. I'm incredibly impressed with the fit. I had only one tiny little concern... I had to re-burn/soften one of the nylon harness ends, as it was somewhat sharp to begin with. It scratched me a little through a very thin t-shirt (the kind I would wear backpacking in the summer). It was an easy fix though, and I am glad to now own such a well made holster. Thanks!

    Great product

    Posted by Janna Scott on Dec 2nd 2021

    Very nicely crafted holster for my H&K 9mm. Living in Wyoming it's nice to comfortably carry a sidearm in the outdoors. The leather is beautiful and it fits my gun perfectly. One small issue I have is that the straps are a bit big so I had to cinch them right up to the top of the buckles. I'm 5'7 and 125 lbs so not petite but there was way too much webbing to fit my frame.

Made from scratch by Brandon & Molly

“We do not start cutting any leather until we receive your order.”

Every holster is built in their shop in Belgrade, Montana, and each step is checked by them, not a machine. If something isn’t right, they’ll make it right.
