Anyone here with Tanker style holster rigs? Login/Join

I want something to carry a 10mm 1911 for hunting and field use.

Chest rigs seem to be the the new flavor of the day. For good reason? Typically I have a small ruck on my back, something like HPG etc is either over kill or far too small. The Kenai is second choice right now, behind an ElPaso saddlery rig.

Any insights are appreciated.

I have both the M-3 and M-7 versions. I can pull the M-3 around as more of a chest holster than the M-7.

Ares Tactical made one for me from Kydex for my 1911. I prefer Kydex for wear in rain or snow.

Do you find them comfortable walking around or better suited to atv type uses?

I can comfortably use mine pretty much anytime, but:
If you are going to use the tie down which snaps to your belt, your outerwear needs to be short enough to accommodate this. If my cold weather jacket wont allow me access to my pants belt, I just add an inch wide nylon belt to the rig to help secure the holster.

The Kenai Chest Holster has long been a standard in the industry for chest carry.

Thank you for mentioning this. Most often I’d be in a coat.

I just picked up a Gunfighters Inc. Kenai for my 610 on clearance from Midway for $73. I’m excited to try it.

I don’t have pictures but I love the simply rugged chesty puller suspension system. I can use it with any of my 3 slot pancake holsters so it is not just stuck with one hand gun. It holds good and doesn’t flop on horseback or on the four wheeler

Chesty puller system

Ive got one of the pancake holsters for a Blackhawk. It would make sense to get that rig for a 1911 with the ability to trade it onto the Blackhawk holster.

Thanks for the insight.

I use the Cobra Chest Holster Combo, that holster can be used as an OWB (That i use everyday actually), then with a few screws you can convert it to be a chest holster. Concealment Solutions is the company.

I used the M7 while serving. I wouldn’t use the belt loop and could move the holster from from to under my arm depending on need. Was helpful to get in and out of tight spaces.
Never had a problem with comfort or retaining my sidearm. Unless I had to run with it but that was not common.

For hunting I typically go with the Diamond D leather type holster; I find that it's quieter than my Kenai. The Kenai tends to make creaking noises and I can't have that during the bowhunting season here in Colorado. I'll typically carry a pistol/revolver rather then launching an arrow off the side of the mountain at a grouse and then having to go & search for my arrow Roll Eyes



the handle?... it's Latin for "Lover of the Bow".

I've had a couple of the original Kenai rigs for about 6-8 years now. One fits a G20 (now a G40 MOS, which fits just fine) and the other a S&W N-frame.

They hold up well, are very convenient, and don't get in the way of whatever you're doing. I frequently carry one while hunting or fly fishing and it's a comfortable solution. Also excellent while operating various vehicles. As mentioned above, the Kydex tends to creak a bit, so if you want dead silent I'd look at the Diamond D rig. I've been considering one myself.
