Collection: Chest Holsters Made for You | Chest Holsters for Multiple Gun Models

A chest holster is a hands-free carry system designed to secure a firearm across the chest, providing quick access while keeping the handgun clear of the waist and beltline. The Alien Gear chest holster is built for hunting, hiking, tactical applications, and military operations, offering stability and comfort in rugged environments.

Unlike IWB holsters (inside-the-waistband) and OWB holsters (outside-the-waistband), a chest holster positions the firearm mid-torso, keeping it accessible while seated, hiking, or wearing heavy gear. It excels in outdoor, tactical, and backcountry scenarios where waist carry is impractical.

1. Unobstructed access even when wearing backpacks, waders, or body armor. 2. Balanced weight distribution for reduced strain during long treks. 3. Superior firearm security in active or high-impact environments. 4. Compatible with full-size pistols and revolvers, including Glock 19, 1911, and hunting handguns.

1. Hunters and outdoorsmen who need quick firearm access while carrying gear. 2. Tactical operators and military personnel who require secure and ergonomic carry. 3. Hikers and backcountry adventurers looking for comfort and protection. 4. Motorcyclists and horseback riders needing stable carry on long rides.

A concealed carry chest holster can work under heavy clothing or jackets, but it is not ideal for deep concealment compared to an IWB holster. CCW users may find it better suited for open carry or specialized use cases.

A tactical chest holster provides exceptional firearm retention through adjustable straps and passive locking mechanisms. Unlike belt-mounted holsters, it minimizes the risk of snags, unintentional draw, or loss of control during active movement.

In most states, chest holsters are legal for open carry, but state and local firearm laws vary. It is essential to check local regulations before using a chest pistol holster for open carry.

A chest gun holster is designed for hands-free, high-access carry, ensuring quick retrieval in outdoor, tactical, or hunting environments while keeping the firearm away from the waistline, packs, and gear.

Alien Gear chest holsters feature adjustable passive retention and active retention options (e.g., thumb release or trigger guard locks) to keep the firearm secure during running, climbing, or riding. This makes it an excellent choice for hunting, military use, and rugged activities.
