What a Great Outdoor Holster

Quick Product Overview:
The Kenai Chest Holster was designed as the ultimate way to carry a firearm when hiking, hunting, fishing, or any other outdoor activity.
We settled on a blend of Kydex and Nylon for excellent retention characteristics, weatherproofing, and lightweight. The Kenai Chest Holster is a perfect pairing with a modern firearm such as the Glock 40MOS or a classic big bore revolver such as the Ruger Super Redhawk.
No matter what you’re doing in the backcountry, the placement of the firearm on your chest helps you be a hard target anywhere without compromising your choice of firearm. You can carry as big of a firearm as possible with maximum comfort. The centered position on the chest allows for a quick draw from any position, even when wearing bulky winter clothing or seated in a vehicle.

What I Like About This Product:
The Kenai Chest Holster is a great holster for anyone who is active in the outdoors. If you like to fish, hunt, backpack, hike, ride horses, ride 4-wheelers, etc. then this holster is for you. I have one of these holsters for my Glock 30, (.45ACP) and then I bought a shell for my Glock 20, (10mm). They are extremely comfortable and yet holds my handguns very secure. This is not a concealed carry holster but you can where a vest or a coat over the top if you like.
The object of this holster is to be able to get to your handgun quickly without having to push clothes aside and that’s what I like about this holster. If you are looking for a concealed carry holster, go with the Spectre Shoulder Holster.
Another nice thing about this holster is you do not have to buy the entire holster for every caliber handgun that you want, just buy the shell of the new gun.
What I Would Change About This Product:
No changes as of now.
Final Remarks:
The Kenai Chest Holster by Gunfighters Inc. is one of my favorite holsters for the outdoors. There are so many activities that this holster can be worn that makes carrying a gun a pleasure instead of a pain. The comfort level is excellent and the gun security is much better then expected. I highly recommend this holster while you are doing outdoor activities. One of my favorite is backpacking. It used to be difficult to find a holster that would let you have a backpack on and still get to your handgun. This setup works 100% and when you remove that backpack, your handgun is right where it needs to be not still attached to your backpack. Give this setup a try, you will not be disappointed.

I am going to remove the upper nylon webbing portion and install a TEK-LOK, or a rigid belt loop of some kind and that will work better for me. The sheath holds the knife very well and I do not like nylon webbing on a knife sheath or the nylon snap fastener that holds the handle in place. I like my belt fasteners to be rigid and not move around when they are on my belt. 
I take it a step further because I make my own knife sheaths, I use a Kydex press, some blue painter’s tape, two clamps to hold the press together, and the heat gun of course. Now some people say you can use a hairdryer but I do not feel it gets quite hot enough and therefore it can get frustrating. It is not in my picture but I like to also wear a pair of leather gloves to insulate your hands from the hot Kydex and decrease a chance of a burn.
, it is an awesome OWB holster that I love to wear but it is just a little tight around the slide. I find if I do this to the holster, the finish on my handgun lasts much longer. Some people just use the heat gun to soften the Kydex, put your gun in the holster, and then systematically press on the holster in the areas that you want to change. I like to use blue painter’s tape in the areas that are tight, maybe two layers of tape to give just a little bit of clearance in those areas. Then you just can either put the holster in the Kydex press or just use hand pressure to conform the holster to the new desired contour of the holster. The Kydex Press works great when making a holster from scratch but once it is made and has belt loops, etc. already there. Hand pressure works best and does not disturb the entire holster.

surface. Place the handgun in the softened holster and begin to push down with your thumbs.
makes it very difficult to hold down that lever so you can remove the slide. Trying to dig your fingernails into that little bar can be very frustrating. Installing a new extended slide stop is a very easy and simple modification that you can do yourself instead of going to a gunsmith. Installing this extended slide stop makes removing the slide so much easier. As you can see by the picture
, the original slide stop on top and the new extended slide stop on the bottom is not a lot different in size, only about 4mm different in length. But just that much longer makes the takedown process much easier.
about the possibility that they can break and a broken sight renders the handgun almost useless. 
It is nice to be able to have an adjustable rear sight so you can easily zero in your handgun.
Sights. The reviews on them are really good and I have always wanted to try them out. These are a little different in the fact that it is not a three-dot system. There is only one dot in the front and one dot in the rear and you just line the dots up and shoot, they call it a figure eight. They too are made especially for Glocks and should be easy to install. So at least I have another option.
these grip extensions. But if you have a compact or subcompact, they will really work out nice for you.
you add a pierce grip extension to your magazines, like the Glock 30 in the middle picture or the bottom picture in the Glock 26, you can add another finger to your grip, thus making your grip more stable.
rest your pinky finger. The Glock 30 (middle picture) holds one extra bullet, while the bottom picture shows my Glock 26 with the grip extension that only rests your pinky finger, with no extra bullets. Whether you choose extra bullets or not, having a place for your pinky finger makes a big difference in control of your handgun and it looks pretty cool too.
For about $20.00 and some personal labor, my handgun had better grip texture and is really pretty sweet. The package that you see comes with some great instructions, a pad with alcohol, and the pre-cut grips for your specific handgun. If you order these, make certain that you order the correct one for your handgun, as there are many different shapes available.
