I personally prefer the old tanker style chest mounted holster, but you did make a good point about people flagging themselves when using hip mounted holsters too.
I think most safety nazis have probably shot themselves in the foot, so thats why they are paranoid in case other people are as stupid as they are. Not likely though.
I agree that practice, discipline, and proper handling are the real safety system for any firearm, but I would have to say that a side holster is safer than a chest mount because in a side holster, the weapon is pointed at a relatively less critical area while mounting/dismounting the holster. And it's only your own body it's pointed at. Not true of a chest mount where the weapon is pointed at your own critical areas and quite possibly that of the person next to you.
Where can you get the horizontal holster? I can't seem to find one anywhere. Aside from Googling I've tried PFIdude, Midway, Brownells, CheaperThanDirt, Amazon.com. Thanks!
I disagree with the argument that a hip mounted pistol can be just as dangerous and a ND/AD can happen. That is true, but the worst that can happen is you shoot YOURSELF in the leg/foot ect. A chest mounted pistols is more dangerous in that in the event of a ND/AD, it will most likely be at head/chest level, and if someone is hit they will be hit in a much more susceptible zone. Honestly, I don't see how the "benefits", which I don't see any, weigh out the dangers.
@danieldefenseM4 There are actually a fair amount of benefits to this system, which he addresses in many of his shooting videos. When he shoots rolled over prone, a side holster would mean he's laying down on the gun, making it uncomfortable, as well as shoving the gun into the dirt. Aside from that, he's demonstrated how a gun on your hip can get in the way of your rifle when you have it in a sling, and can make both the rifle and pistol harder to pull into a firing position.
@danieldefenseM4 With all the gear that has to be worn in the field, I am not sure how someone would use hip mounted holsters. So if you don't see the benefits, that means you obviously don't need it. Some of us do because when enemies shoot at you in the real world, chest mounted and drop leg holsters actually work.
Uh, soldiers and law enforcement do it all of the time. I do not know of a single competent instructor that recommends much less uses a chest mounted pistol. It is an accident waiting to happen. I would never want to be standing beside him when he draws or holsters that pistol. And whoa, where did drop leg holsters come into this? That is completely different, and I do not have a problem with those. The only problem with them are the inconsistency in draw.
@danieldefenseM4 I don't know who is hiring people on your team that are incompetent enough to cause these situations. People run front and back with firearms, charging into chaotic situations. Personally, what works in the field, works for me. With plates and pouches everywhere, I can't access hip holsters. Those instructors you refer to are more concerned with liability issues. No one complains to me with my serpa molle holster strapped to my chest.
Love it, about time someone is on my side. I carried a M9 serpa chest rig. I didn't put as much thought into it as you I just literally had no where else to put it. Full of ammo, zip ties, NODs, etc etc. And I refuse to carry anything in a drop leg platform after not being able to effectively clear a bus because I was too wide hahaha funny story but anyway love chest rigs and glad someone backs me up.
@nutnfancy My reasoning for disliking these setups is that you want redundancy in your safety mechanisms. That is, if one system fails there is another to back it up. With a chest mounted (or shoulder mounted) holster, you are relying solely on the weapon not discharging (and for a pistol such as the Sig that means on the trigger not being pulled or the hammer not getting caught). In addition, a discharge could well mean chest trauma for yourself or someone around you which is of course serious.
Agreed. I shoot my .45 1-3X per week. (love the "hall-monitor" analogy) But people automatically assume that if the muzzle EVER crosses path with something human and fleshy, it's NUTS.
But the FACT is, it's inevitable. wether holstering, pulling, or even CLEANING. this WILL happen. Its the practice and the mindset that is the 1st defense.
You already know that doing the cool, fun stuff...You look like one of THOSE people according to the limp left.
So according to the logic, I can point a loaded gun at people all I want as long as I keep my finger away from the trigger? These chest holsters break gun safety rule #1, point the muzzle in a safe direction.
I agree, that's pretty disrespectful. Your videos are very educational. You deserve more respect than that. It's all about what you said, where you put your trigger finger, just common sense.
I tried the chest mounted style and I have to say it is very comfortable. It also provides a good way to outfit a "grab n go" vest, since I want to have everything on the vest but the typical side draw is - im my opinion - too high.
I may be commenting on a video thats a year and a half old, but isn't this common sense stuff with firearm safety? Other than that, nutnfancy, what do you think of leg holsters? I've noticed you dont really use them, is that because when you let your primary hang on its sling it's in the way?
I agree with your explanation, but I do not really agree with the conclusion. You sometimes refer to Murphy's law and I would cite it in this case. I am not worried about the gun in the holster I am worried about the draw and release with the operators hand on it and it possibly being pointed at me. The gun is in a higher liability position during the draw than if it was pointed down during the draw and re-holster. Love your vids and mad respect for what you are doing.
I got bitched at while I was in Iraq for carrying my M9 like that but now its standard carry. I still want to know what that mount is you have on your serpa?!
Strange things happen, particularly when in a stressful situation. Personally, I always carry on the belt and wouldn't stand next to someone carrying like that. Roll around on the ground and stuff gets into the holster, stuff gets pressed and my luck suggests I shouldn't tempt fate. To each their own, I prefer to not see down the business end of a gun unless absolutely necessary like during inspecting the barrel during cleaning. Outside of that, I keep my barrel pointing away from people.
I agree with what you say. It's all about training with your gear as how you are going to use it, i.e. competition shooting, tactical run & guns, etc. In the Army we trained to fight. So it was full battle rattle, full IBL (either live or blank, it depended on what we were doing). But, have you considered you may trip and fall flat on your chest with a loaded gun carried in such manner? I know you are always safe by looking our videos. I hope you make a good risk assessment for this. Good job!
Do you prefer ACU over Multiscam? or was this your particular load for the day? I'm in between both and i'm not sure which to go for as a primary...any thoughts if you have a moment?
I started running with a chest mounted pistol in 2003, when doing mobility operations, it is best place to have your secondary when inside a vehicle, especially as a driver and you find yourself in situation when you have to use it to save your bacon. Having your pistol there is totally safe. Anyone afraid to be on the range because someone has a chest mounted pistol should point their weapons in a safe direction and clear them. Turn up up range and move out.
In all honesty, as far as risk goes, they are in more danger driving to and from the range than they are while they are out there shooting, no matter how he carries his sidearm.
In my opinion, the chest mounted pistol carry option is safe, but it looks like it would be a problem for me with it being in the front. But hey, that's my opinion.
I think people need to realize that "point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot" entails actually holding and pointing your weapon with the possibility of your weapon going off, if chest mounted pistols were so incredibly unsafe then companies would stop making them because operators would stop buying them or we'd hear a story or two about a guy running around and his pistol magically going off.
I would go with a SERPA or other holster, instead of a cloth holster, and have it at a cant, so your muzzle isn't horizontal. Makes the reholster easier. If it works for you, it works. I carried my M9 on my chest for a while.
Any weapon is unsafe when handle the wrong way. But the chest holster is the best place to carry a secondary weapon such as a pistol for the fact that its already close to your eye sight which means you'll be on the target faster. The only thing I would change is the tilt of the holster forward so you wouldn't have to put the strap back on it everytime you put it up.
well mr nunfanct when you do x with y in an impossible situation you will shoot someone! (call of duty <21 year olds). with 21 year old officers (military, or trained (like yourself) , no one will ever get their finger near a trigger especially in a relatively laid back position like that or any other, because you dont have your trigger finger on the target till youre ready to shoot, otherise, yall are retards, go back to call of duty, and come shoot with me 1911 45, rem. .308, ar, (or m4\
i stay with my drop leg holster because after i shoot my pistol and i need to get running and engaging more targets to further distances, i can just drop my pistol into my holster without buckling it and feel REASONABLY secure that it wont come out while i seek better cover.
the wonders of the safety catch and half cock safeties :) oh and not being a moron :P i wont carry a pistol in condition zero on my chest but i'd happily carry in condition 1
Hey Nutnfancy.... Where did you purchase your Holster??? I am trying to Locate a setup similar to this for a Right side draw(left chest Mount) for Tactical usage... Please Help, I am having a Difficult time locating 1 Online.
I recently switched my serpa off my drop leg rig and mounted it to my plate carrier, and boy, that cross/chest draw motion is a lot faster than the standard hip or leg for me.
With your continual mastering of the shooting arts, I wanted to comment on how well you convey it intelligently to the layman. Keep up the great work! I have chest mounted since 2003 in three different, distant, and dusty lands. I've chewed the earth over there, so I know what works. You sir, are correct. The post below is my example of extreme patience, in the face of fear and ignorance of others. *NOTE*
No Idiots were harmed in the authoring this post!!!
I believe as you do. It is as safe as we make it, and as unsafe as we insist upon. A "Hall Monitor" once give me his "verbal personal safety manifesto". In his mind, it was appropriate to elevate the fear among his peer's that day at the range by asking me if it was loaded that way? I explained to him that coupled with is "ignorance of basic mechanical firing systems" and that fact that HE was in
possesion of a loaded firearm, that my gun would just be "a metal rock if it wasn't".
If this is what I think this is and where this is. This dude is a Bad BAD BAD MAN and when he says hundreds and thousands of a hours on a range and the people I think he is with. They live on a range. I would give anything to be in his shoes.
When would a chest rig be a bad idea? If an EFP cuts through the back of the Bradley you're riding in, takes your left arm off at the elbow, skims the front of your IBA and cuts your chest mounted pistol in half before killing your 'terp and the Bradley's gunner. Now you're running out of the back of a burning IFV, with only one hand, fire coming from multiple directions, and no secondary weapon to shoot your way to the medevac. Not my story, but still a true story.
@TheEveryd HAHAAAHHAHAHA FUCK THAT TERP! Always train fireing your secondary weapon with one hand. i shoot dual glock 35's and guess what thats bigger cal and more recoil then Nutnfancys glock34 . point in case is learn to shoot with both hands, because in a military situation anything that can go wrong could go wrong. SEEN it, done it.
Personally, I prever the hip or leg holster method. It's faster to "point" the gun if needed if I'm faced with a quick draw situation. But that's me.
When it comes to "pistols" of the modern auto-loading type, I dont' freak out unless it's unholstered (and loaded). I won't even freak out when they're dropped. Like what Nutn' said, the trigger needs to be activated. (Which brings up a question, how can you fire a gun if it's in a bag that was set down?)
Yeah... He's right about everything but I'm having a problem with the "fast" part. What's with the soft holster with a snap-lock buckle? Every draw involves first un-snapping that, then every re-holstering involves re-buckling it before moving on?
even though you are right about being a hall monitor. Some people are unsure of there own abilities and they think because they don’t feel safe it’s good for every one too. I see it if you are comfortable with it and it’s mass produced someone else has to feel the same way
I agree that it is fine. Your holster has excellent coverage so there is no chance of the trigger snagging on anything. That is the only concern I have ever had with chest mounting the pistol. That is a holster that does not cover enough of the guns operating parts and can snag. Yours has good coverage and thus is very safe.
@smokengunz1 Doing what most of us can only hope to do. Shooting all kinds of firearms at targets arranged in a manner that roughly simulates combat with less than ideal conditions. In other words, having the best fun someone can possibly have at the same time practicing skills that can save good peoples lives and stop badguys (if faced w/ the situation). And also when the zombie comes.
The buckle / retention strap looks like it would be small enough to get inside the trigger guard, and could actuate the trigger while you're re holstering.
The chest holster is a good Idea, easier to grab than a shoe holster, hip holster, or a knee holster. Its little more safer to because if it shoots by a malfunction like a hard hit directly to the mechanisms, it shouldn't strike you. In a hip or knee holster you have a chance to take a piece of lead in the leg. Anything can happen and safety is key.
nutnfancy im not bashing on you or your fellow associates who are with you but if I was shooting with you i would Have to request you to point your gun in the only safe direction the ground. I completly understand what you are saying about your mind/finger being the first saftey, but you are not truely safe with your mussle pointed at other people! No matter how much "real" world experience you claim to have it still dosent make you impervious to accidents! But like you said what works for you!
Nutn I'm a huge fan and subscriber, Almost every piece of advice that I've used from your videos has paid off in huge dividends. One question that I have now is about the jacket that your wearing in this video. I've noticed that you wear it in a few others and I'm wondering what make/model it is and where I could get one. Thanks

@stephanpaul If your question has already been answered im sorry but I believe it is a condor soft shell jacket highly recommended in the Nutnfancy channel
@stephanpaul If you dont mind watching a vid all the info you need is in his review of the jacket "Condor Softshell Jacket: "All Conditions Performer" by Nutnfancy " sorry I couldn't post a link it did not let me
Nutn I'm a hardcore fan of your work but I just can't agree with you on this one. The probability of hurting yourself or a teammate with such mount (regardless of training) is just higher than traditional side mount, why take that risk. Merry xmass to you and your family
I never heard of chest mounting pistols before. Either way these "hall monitors" that leave these comments, I bet they're the same people I see at the range that are sweeping their feet with the muzzle of their pistol or handling guns while people are downrange.
i say Chest Mounted Pistol are great because for one it would be hard for someone to take the gun away from you. two it doest put the weight on your hips and leg so you dont have to have a belt on and its a faster way to draw ur gun. i think all military and law enforcement should run a Chest Mounted Pistol,! :D thanks for the video.
As you stated about the drop down can be dangerous to the wearer and for the incredibly ball busting anals out there it is dangerous to others around you i.e. your prone and their prone behind you. Uh Oh. HHHMMM what to do....what to do.
@Hyakitaki well for one when you pull it out it aint pointing at ur chest its pointing towards the left and like he said when you pull your gun out dont put your finger on the trigger, once your aimed at ur target then put ur finger on it any person who has been useing guns for a long time should know that. and if u dont then ur dumb and should not be shooting firearms!
I am left-eye dominant and right handed. Thinking about getting a Kel-Tec su16C but I'm wondering if a chest rig ( set for right handed pistol shooting) would interfere w/my left-handed carbine shooting. Anyone have any recommendations good or bad for the chest rig?
@dust2010able Pistol mounted chest rig is only if you're wearing armor and/or have a good amount of utility gear around your waist which might catch or slow your pistol transition. If you're not wearing armor, aren't wearing a lot of gear on your belt, and aren't a tunnel rat then there isn't really a need for a pistol chest rig.
Speed isn't an issue either as during a proper transition your hand moves down and away from the center chest area. Almost equal travel distance at that point.
It's not that new, this is just a new spin on a good oldie. Called a Tanker chest rig. World war 2 and into Veitnam Etc. Made it so your sidearm wouldn't catch as easily on the hatch of a tank. And for confined spaces and seats, makes sense. Safer to have it there where it doesn't get in your way than to have it on your hip, catch it on something, and you play with it to get it unstuck, or back where you want it. Less you play with it, safer it is.
I like your vids man. But I gotta ask, why is your gear and clothes in all your vids look like they just were purchased yesterday? I've seen you runNgun on your vids a lot so I know your gear gets used so the only thing I can think is that you are a millionaire and you are always purchasing new gear when it gets dirty....I mean from head to toe is simply immaculate! ....just sayin.
Roll around in the dirt or something will ya.... :)
@ak47man2000 STRIKE adapter and quick disconnect, or just the STRIKE adapter and CQC SERPA... @nutnfancy sorry, had to answer...keep up the kickass work and keep these pinheads in check.
I have never carried my pistol in a chest or shoulder holster however peoples concerns are not misplaced and I'd say that carrying a pistol in anything other than a belt or tac holster will increase the risk of an accident. The other concern I'd have is if you''re laying prone and engaging with your primary then it would be very hard to move to secondary if you're laying in top of it. If people have a different view to you on firearms use it doesn't make them wrong and you right.
@texas09mcm1 Mate I never said I didn't like Nutty's rig all I said was if you carry anywhere except leg or waist you increase the risk of making more than just a loud noise if you accidentally discharge. I have no worries with Nutty's chest rig if he or anyone else like them. Over the 30 years I've been carrying a side arm I can tell you that it's not just stray fingers you have to worry about. Clothing and straps are more of a risk when holstering. If Glock's had an external safety NO worries.
@AusJackal I may have gotten a different perception from your reply then you were trying to portray. I was recently running some meat and metal shooting drills. Lots of movement and shooting, lots of reloads, and re-holstering. I ran it appendix in a nylon holster. Just like with a chest rig or appendix you have to be cautious. As long as folks don't get relaxed with gun safety all is good. I got the impression you were sharing the fears of the nay sayers.
@texas09mcm1 It's ok mate. No not at all, it's all good. I agree that if you keep your drills safe then you will be too. Keep safe mate and happy shooting..... =)
Does it left hand switch? BTW to anyone that thinks this is unsafe: any holster is unsafe if this is, a hipster is constantly pointed at your own leg. A gun cannot realistically be pointed in a safe direction in/out of hand 100% of the time. Only a person can set a gun off, and as long as your hand doesn't touch it, it is 100% safe, loaded or unloaded.
@RoscoeT99 And what a rub that is. It looks cool, and it's fairly new, so guys want to carry that way. Since they want to carry that way, they defend it. It probably is usually safe, but not as safe as having your muzzle pointed in a safe direction- because negligent/unintentional discharges do happen during holstering. If guys thought they might shoot themselves carrying like this instead of someone else, they might give it more thought. Just sayin'...
@GeorgeHolt3 I think that's a great point about who might get shot.
But it all falls back to training and repetition. No one, I repeat, no one is 100% safe carrying a loaded pistol, accidents do happen. Safe practices help reduce the probability. Someone who says that they never make mistakes are unrealistic.
To sum up, it does not matter how you carry, if your finger hits the trigger or clothing, pouch flap, buckle etc catches it you could have an AD. That's life.
Another good vid. Hes definitely right, it's perfectly safe if your not stupid. The only downside to this technique is if your in prone position, or laying down on your stomach, hard to get to that way. But there is pros and cons to any way you carry it.
What do say to people who always preach that the first thing in firearms safety is, no matter the condition. Is placing the muzzle in a safe direction is the first and foremost condition that is needed to be establish.
Let's say you're in your car and a crazy junkie approaches you outside the car. I run that drill for practice all the time 'cause it happened to me. I swept my legs to conceal the fact that down inside my car door, a firearm was pointed at him. "Hall monitors" would say don't do that and lift the gun over the steering wheel. Whatever! It's all in how responsible you are and how you practice with a deadly weapon. I'm on your side Nutnfancy. I'm glad you don't let these people get to you.
Chest mounted holster is perfectly fine. The only people that have an issue with it are people that have not shot one before. Proper finger off the trigger discipline should always be used when re-holstering. One way I found that is a good way to carry is to put your holster inside the mag carrier and carry it that way on the chest harness. Keep doing what you do Nutnfancy! Amen brother!
hey nutn,justa quick questions,what are the gloves you use?im looking for a decent pair as it gets cold here in uk when you out shooting and all the ones ive tried wear out after a few months.
@zatoichi12345 hey man i dont know if you question has been answered elsewhere but they are mechanix. you can literally get them at any advance auto parts, or auto zone. they are amazing. they cost about 20 a piece.
conventional units are being told they can't use horizontal shoulder holsters. when holstered, their weapon cannot point rearward.
some douchebag safety nazi with no firearms familliarization whatsoever) has determined that horizontal shoulder holsters aren't safe because the gun points behind you and that means you have no "situational awareness" of where the weapon points. the ignorance is everywhere and its an uphill battle.
i think i probaly commented on some of your vids before but couldn's resist here.
do you really get people telling you thid isn't safe?
i do prefer the serpa to anything else, hip or on my carrier but really, maybe we should start storing them in the pelican case and then the case in a ruck and then the ruck on our back with the straps taped down.
the dumb has actually reched afghanistan and iraq too.
I personally prefer the old tanker style chest mounted holster, but you did make a good point about people flagging themselves when using hip mounted holsters too.

To each their own, I prefer to not see down the business end of a gun unless absolutely necessary like during inspecting the barrel during cleaning. Outside of that, I keep my barrel pointing away from people.

I agree with what you say. It's all about training with your gear as how you are going to use it, i.e. competition shooting, tactical run & guns, etc. In the Army we trained to fight. So it was full battle rattle, full IBL (either live or blank, it depended on what we were doing). But, have you considered you may trip and fall flat on your chest with a loaded gun carried in such manner? I know you are always safe by looking our videos. I hope you make a good risk assessment for this. Good job!

I started running with a chest mounted pistol in 2003, when doing mobility operations, it is best place to have your secondary when inside a vehicle, especially as a driver and you find yourself in situation when you have to use it to save your bacon. Having your pistol there is totally safe. Anyone afraid to be on the range because someone has a chest mounted pistol should point their weapons in a safe direction and clear them. Turn up up range and move out.

I think people need to realize that "point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot" entails actually holding and pointing your weapon with the possibility of your weapon going off, if chest mounted pistols were so incredibly unsafe then companies would stop making them because operators would stop buying them or we'd hear a story or two about a guy running around and his pistol magically going off.

I would go with a SERPA or other holster, instead of a cloth holster, and have it at a cant, so your muzzle isn't horizontal. Makes the reholster easier. If it works for you, it works. I carried my M9 on my chest for a while.
ReaperMedic1 8 months ago
Any weapon is unsafe when handle the wrong way. But the chest holster is the best place to carry a secondary weapon such as a pistol for the fact that its already close to your eye sight which means you'll be on the target faster. The only thing I would change is the tilt of the holster forward so you wouldn't have to put the strap back on it everytime you put it up.

I believe as you do. It is as safe as we make it, and as unsafe as we insist upon. A "Hall Monitor" once give me his "verbal personal safety manifesto". In his mind, it was appropriate to elevate the fear among his peer's that day at the range by asking me if it was loaded that way? I explained to him that coupled with is "ignorance of basic mechanical firing systems" and that fact that HE was in
possesion of a loaded firearm, that my gun would just be "a metal rock if it wasn't".

When would a chest rig be a bad idea? If an EFP cuts through the back of the Bradley you're riding in, takes your left arm off at the elbow, skims the front of your IBA and cuts your chest mounted pistol in half before killing your 'terp and the Bradley's gunner. Now you're running out of the back of a burning IFV, with only one hand, fire coming from multiple directions, and no secondary weapon to shoot your way to the medevac. Not my story, but still a true story.

Personally, I prever the hip or leg holster method. It's faster to "point" the gun if needed if I'm faced with a quick draw situation. But that's me.
When it comes to "pistols" of the modern auto-loading type, I dont' freak out unless it's unholstered (and loaded). I won't even freak out when they're dropped. Like what Nutn' said, the trigger needs to be activated. (Which brings up a question, how can you fire a gun if it's in a bag that was set down?)
tiffyj85 11 months ago
Yeah... He's right about everything but I'm having a problem with the "fast" part. What's with the soft holster with a snap-lock buckle? Every draw involves first un-snapping that, then every re-holstering involves re-buckling it before moving on?

barstoolguru 11 months ago
I agree that it is fine. Your holster has excellent coverage so there is no chance of the trigger snagging on anything. That is the only concern I have ever had with chest mounting the pistol. That is a holster that does not cover enough of the guns operating parts and can snag. Yours has good coverage and thus is very safe.

The chest holster is a good Idea, easier to grab than a shoe holster, hip holster, or a knee holster. Its little more safer to because if it shoots by a malfunction like a hard hit directly to the mechanisms, it shouldn't strike you. In a hip or knee holster you have a chance to take a piece of lead in the leg. Anything can happen and safety is key.

dust2010able 1 year ago
@dust2010able Pistol mounted chest rig is only if you're wearing armor and/or have a good amount of utility gear around your waist which might catch or slow your pistol transition. If you're not wearing armor, aren't wearing a lot of gear on your belt, and aren't a tunnel rat then there isn't really a need for a pistol chest rig.
Speed isn't an issue either as during a proper transition your hand moves down and away from the center chest area. Almost equal travel distance at that point.

It's not that new, this is just a new spin on a good oldie. Called a Tanker chest rig. World war 2 and into Veitnam Etc. Made it so your sidearm wouldn't catch as easily on the hatch of a tank. And for confined spaces and seats, makes sense. Safer to have it there where it doesn't get in your way than to have it on your hip, catch it on something, and you play with it to get it unstuck, or back where you want it. Less you play with it, safer it is.

I have never carried my pistol in a chest or shoulder holster however peoples concerns are not misplaced and I'd say that carrying a pistol in anything other than a belt or tac holster will increase the risk of an accident. The other concern I'd have is if you''re laying prone and engaging with your primary then it would be very hard to move to secondary if you're laying in top of it. If people have a different view to you on firearms use it doesn't make them wrong and you right.

Clothing and straps are more of a risk when holstering. If Glock's had an external safety NO worries.

@AusJackal I may have gotten a different perception from your reply then you were trying to portray. I was recently running some meat and metal shooting drills. Lots of movement and shooting, lots of reloads, and re-holstering. I ran it appendix in a nylon holster. Just like with a chest rig or appendix you have to be cautious. As long as folks don't get relaxed with gun safety all is good. I got the impression you were sharing the fears of the nay sayers.

Does it left hand switch? BTW to anyone that thinks this is unsafe: any holster is unsafe if this is, a hipster is constantly pointed at your own leg. A gun cannot realistically be pointed in a safe direction in/out of hand 100% of the time. Only a person can set a gun off, and as long as your hand doesn't touch it, it is 100% safe, loaded or unloaded.
patsfanczar 1 year ago
It's safe... but here's the rub.
If you were at the range and a guy pointed a cleared pistol right at your face you'd say "Hey, that's not safe". Range officer would have a fit.
Same guy puts said pistol, loaded into his chest rig and points it at you all day without thinking and it's ok.
Just something to consider.
RoscoeT99 1 year ago 4
@RoscoeT99 And what a rub that is. It looks cool, and it's fairly new, so guys want to carry that way. Since they want to carry that way, they defend it. It probably is usually safe, but not as safe as having your muzzle pointed in a safe direction- because negligent/unintentional discharges do happen during holstering. If guys thought they might shoot themselves carrying like this instead of someone else, they might give it more thought. Just sayin'...
GeorgeHolt3 1 year ago
@GeorgeHolt3 I think that's a great point about who might get shot.
But it all falls back to training and repetition. No one, I repeat, no one is 100% safe carrying a loaded pistol, accidents do happen. Safe practices help reduce the probability. Someone who says that they never make mistakes are unrealistic.
To sum up, it does not matter how you carry, if your finger hits the trigger or clothing, pouch flap, buckle etc catches it you could have an AD. That's life.
BTW Hall monitors suck.

Chest mounted holster is perfectly fine. The only people that have an issue with it are people that have not shot one before. Proper finger off the trigger discipline should always be used when re-holstering. One way I found that is a good way to carry is to put your holster inside the mag carrier and carry it that way on the chest harness. Keep doing what you do Nutnfancy! Amen brother!

conventional units are being told they can't use horizontal shoulder holsters. when holstered, their weapon cannot point rearward.
