Testimonials

 I recently received a chest rig you custom-fitted for my Smith & Wesson Model 29 Silhouette. Although I haven't had time to take it out and banter around, I want you to know I'm spreading the word about the outstanding quality of your work. The chest holster is snug, as it should be: but the draw is smooth and break-in time is almost immediate. I love the color, the fit and polish, and every detail.

Oh yeah, as an a-side: your prices are out of this world! For what I got I would have paid considerably more and the only other company that was willing to consider making a chest rig for my Silhouette wanted a lot more-and I could tell from the pictures it was less quality.

I wish you all the best in your future business. I hope some of the friends I pointed your way will be ordering from you soon. 

Best Regards,

 I’m absolutely thrilled with my chest rig for my Taurus Raging Bull. Perfect fit and finish. Very comfortable rig. Can wear it all day in the woods with no issues at all. I love it. I’m telling all my shooting and hunting buddies about your excellent custom leatherwork. Keep up the great work. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ R Hopkins

“I absolutely love my holster, now having two seasons under my belt with it in use while hunting; it has never let me down.  It turns heads from the other guys in my hunting group which is obvious from the top quality of the leather and meticulous craftsmanship that went into making it.  The shoulder and body strap, when adjusted to fit my frame, holds the weapon firmly in place on my body and keeps the firearm retained with no slipping at all.  The cut-out for the red dot is flawless and fits my rail and optic perfectly.  I will likely order another for my Colt 1911 very soon!  Worth every penny; will buy again!!”  Andrew S

 "Mr Hisle- I met you at the Tanner Gun Show in Pueblo, Oct 9th and I purchased a holster for my Ruger SR9. Just wanted to let you know I absolutely love the holster. It's extremely comfortable and keeps the gun tight against my body. I will contact you first for all my future holster needs. Thanks again!" Frank H 

 Just received my chest holster Wednesday.
VERY NICE holster!! Works perfect with my backpack and fanny pack. I'll be using it this fall in New Mexico while hiking and doing nature photography. Will be great on my horseback desert excursion too.Glad I found you guys. I'm already showing it off to my buddies. 

Hi Terry & Marie, 

I just wanted to say thanks for your great customer service and taking the time to make a chest holster for my Ruger MK III. The holster is perfect. Love it!  I have told a few people about your amazing holsters and service. I will also be taking it to my friends cabin this weekend who has a mark III and says he might order one as well.

Dearest Marie and Terry, 

I got my large folder brown leather case in the mail today.  I am the one,  that has two of your belts, black and brown, and asked you at the gun show to make me a snapped case for my large black Benchmade Adamas folder knife.  

I am so overwhelmed by this case that I cannot put it down.  My wife judged me crazy. You, Terry, far exceeded my expectations.  This has got to be the most beautiful folder case I have ever seen--and it is mine!  It looks like part of a beautiful saddle.  It is so everbuilt.  It is a beautiful, rich brown.  It fits the knife like a glove.  The snapped cover is perfect.  There is just the right amount of handle sticking out to grab easily, but not too much.  The metal belt clip is robust and perfect.

I intend to wear this case on my person every day until I die.  If I fly somewhere, I may even wear it empty.

You are both such nice people and Terry, you are truly an artist.  Thank you so much.  I look forward to seeing you both at the next show somewhere.

Our teenage grandson in Denver is thankful too--he will be so lucky when I finally die.

Most appreciatively, Thomas T

Marie and Terry,

I received the Rig yesterday and opened the carton this morning.  I’m impressed ; KUDOS to you all  for the design, fit, tooling and appearance of the Chest Rig.  I am truly happy with my choice for a leather artesian, holster vendor!  You guys make me look good.

I slipped in the gun and seated it against the scope post, snapped the retention strap which fit perfectly.  The barrel is covered, all is good.  

I’m in the process of adjusting to fit me and see there is ample adjustment to work with to optimize carry comfort.  I will follow up with a photo when I am satisfied with carry position.  I will also explore my other holster options for the Sigs I mentioned in the original inquiry. 

Thanks again, 

Bob R

My holster arrived yesterday and I have to say that I am very happy with it. The craftsmanship is excellent and the fit is perfect. It was well worth the wait and I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting a quality holster. 

Thank You!

I wanted to thank you for such a quality product. I ordered the chest holster. I've got rheumatoid arthritis and I could no longer wear a waistband holster. Your rig is comfortable and easily utilized. I've received many compliments about your rig and I refer people to your website whenever they ask. I'll be ordering a mag holster soon to compliment the chest rig.
Again, thank you for your craftsmanship and product.

Terry and Marie- just wanted to follow up with an email. I received the chest rig holsters, it is exactly what I have been looking for- for over a year I have been trying to find the “right fit”. This is perfect to wear under my dress blue/blazer without the large “bulge” on my side due to the duty hip holster. I also use if for hiking, hunting and even for a jog. Thanks for great customer service! Doug

I received the Sportsman's Chest Rig and couldn't be happier. Not only does it fit well as pictured on your website for some concealment, but also on the opposing shoulder like a Tanker's holster for use outside in bear country. Two functions, 1) a bit of concealment for around town, and 2) center of your chest for easier access. Love it. Thank you.
