Set Up Your Chest Holster in 3 Minutes
New rig day? Here’s the fast way to fit your TACDEFNEX chest holster so it rides stable, breathes well, and draws clean.
Why this rig works
Fits most popular pistols: Glock 19/26/43, 1911, Sig P365, M&P Shield, S&W, and more.
Chest & shoulder support system: balanced dual-strap design = steady gun, quick grab.
Fully adjustable fit: hugs your frame to kill bounce during hikes and runs.
Breathable + lightweight: soft mesh + padding keep you cool.
Rugged build: stands up to heat, dust, and long miles.
60-second fit checklist
Place high on the sternum—grip just left/right of center for your dominant hand.
Tighten shoulder strap until the holster doesn’t sag when you jog in place.
Snug the torso strap—you should breathe easily but the rig shouldn’t slide.
Adjust retention strap so the pistol stays put yet draws smoothly.
Dry run: 5 slow draws + re-holsters. No snag? You’re set.

When to pick a chest holster vs. shoulder holster
Riding, hiking, fishing with a pack hip belt? Chest holster keeps the pistol clear and centered.
Seated driving or light jackets? A classic shoulder holster can hide better, but may print when moving fast.
Quick safety notes
Keep finger off trigger while holstering.
Re-check screws and strap tension every trip.
Follow local laws for concealed/open carry.
