Product Overview
The holster you're looking at is our Leather Chest Holster with thumb break release. It is made with the finest veg tanned leather, 100% hand crafted by our team in Montana to last generations. It is a true "Woods Carry" holster that is best used when you don't want a gun on your hip, but you want quick access to it. Most popular uses include hunting, backpacking, stream fishing, and other backcountry adventures. We developed our chest holsters with a thumb break retention which allows for your weapon to stay secured until you are ready to draw. The thumb break is a seemless one hand draw. Every holster is molded specifically to your guns make and model, making it a guranteed fit. Since the holster is made of leather it may need a little time to break in at first, once broken in it should be a smooth draw. Each chest holster comes assembled with a 1" nylon webbing harness. We chose the nylon for multiple reasons, the nylon webbing is lightweight/flexible, packable, and adjustable. The harness has three adjustment points to easily accomodate the gear you wear for the changing seasons. The nylon waist strap is easy for each person to cut to the desired length making it customizable to the carrier. All of our products come with a 100% money back gurantee!!!
Fits sizes X-small to XXXL in the same harness. The buckle strap comes long, so it will need to be cut/burned once you size it. Need larger than that? Just let us know in "order comments" at check out.

5 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.

5 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.

5 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.

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

5 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!

5 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.

5 Great quality, love it!
Posted by Unknown on Nov 20th 2021
Received it fairly quick for it being a hand made item. Craftsmanship is beautiful. I am a small female and was able to adjust it to my size very easily and comfortably. My Glock fits easily, quick snap is not too easy and not to tight, gun is able to insert and remove with the right snugness. Love it over all! Highly recommend and Will order from again!
