  • Detail

    Galco Gunleather is excited to introduce the Great Alaskan™ shoulder holster system, the latest member of an expanding line of chest-type hunting and outdoor holsters. Carrying a large-frame revolver or auto in an easily-accessible crossdraw torso position, the Great Alaskan is ideal for protection when hunting, fishing, camping or hiking in bear country.

    Constructed of premium steerhide, the holster component is fully lined with smooth leather. In a departure from common construction methods, the harness is also made of extremely durable premium steerhide. The harness pivots at the holster attachment points for comfort, while its 2” width at the shoulder distributes weight extremely effectively. A Fastex®-type buckle facilitates quick donning and removal of the holster system. The harness will also accept an optional carrier for spare cartridges or a magazine, sold separately.

    Fits chests to 54".

Great Alaskan Chest Holster Review
I live in Brazil . I use to hunt Wild Boar , and the Great Alaskan Holster together with the spare magazine Ammo Carrier was the perfect option for my 1911 back up gun .
The quality of the materials , the comfort and the fit of this holster is just amazing .
I always expect great products from Galco , but this one exceeded my expectations .

LOVE IT!!!
Spent most of last week at a friend's ranch in West Texas... we had a lot of work tasks going on and my new chest holster kept my .45 out of the way and readily accessible when needed... and I needed it twice! (two for two on wild hogs).

Great Leather!
Hallo, ich bin ein deutscher Kunde und super begeistert von dem tollen Leder!
Internationaler Versand war problemlos und hervorragende Abwicklung mit sehr schnellen Antworten auf Rückfragen zum Produkt.
Gerne wieder! Die Belts sind auch erstklassig und in der Qualität in Europa nicht zu bekommen!

ALASKAN CHEST HOLSTER
As usual, you can always expect great quality leather products from Galco. This is my third holster from them over the last 20 years and the high quality of their products remains unchanged. Definitely recommend.

3rd Galco Chest Rig
This review is for my 2nd Great Alaskan Chest Holster, which is for a 5” 1911 pistol. Fit and finish are superb, as is the rigging for wearing the holster tight to the chest. Fully adjustable to fit.
Buy with confidence.

Great holster
A great holster as with all Galco products. This cross draw Alaska fits my needs perfectly when a belt won't do. As with all Galco holsters the fit is perfect with a little working the leather to loosen up a hair.

Like a Glove
To use that old clich'e...It fits like a glove. I carry a 1911 and and in the holster it begins to feel part of you, very comfortable. Excellent buy.

Fabulous ...
My husband thinks I am the very best wife in the world ... he loves it. I saw the holster briefly as he bragged about how happy he was to get it for a late Christmas present (my fault, not yours) and wore it all Sunday afternoon sitting on the couch watching football ... goofball. He was very pleased with the fit for his weapon and says it might be time to take another trip to Alaska. I agree. He claims the holster will be in his possession for the rest of his life, so that's a good thing. Thanks for making me look great :)

Great Holster!
This holster fits my Dan Wesson Silverback 10mm perfect! Great fit, finish, and quality. I own several Galco products and this along with the Dual Position Phoenix are THE best holsters I own. Well done Galco.
