[QUOTE="calling4life, post: 2439415, member: 48454"] I carry a 4" 500 S&W and I have the Gunfighters INC Kenai Chest holster, I have the StealthGear 2.0 Chest holster, and the StealthGear double strap drop leg holster. I carry the gun in all, it goes in the drop leg for fishing, chest for about everything else, I actually have a leather hip holster and carried it at Christmas with the family this year. But I've had it in a chest rig while felling trees, while milling those trees into lumber, while carrying that lumber to the spot where I then built my shooting house. While working on my outboard, while carrying and dragging brush etc... [U]I'll move my binoculars before I'll compromise my firearm and wouldn't have it any other way.[/U] The chest rigs work for carrying guns, even heavy ones like that 500. I would recommend the StealthGear 2.0 with the holster shell attached directly to it as my number one suggestion. I would also add, get the additional pad and have one under each buckle on the side straps. May sound weird but those buckles for tightening the side straps can dig into your ribs, those pads cure that, of course there are other things you could cook up as well, but the pads they already make for the over the shoulder portion work here as well. I don't mind recommending that Gunfighters Inc Kenai either, it has been used and abused and is great, I added padding to the back of it to get the comfort and fit I wanted. The drop leg is great, but for more specific circumstances, I'd stick with chest as a normal #1. Whatever you do, keep the gun on you, ON you on you, chest is a great place. [/QUOTE]
