THE KENAI CHEST HOLSTER

Product Review

What a Great Outdoor Holster

Comfort-First-Design

Product: The Kenai Chest Holster

Price: $159.00

Durability: High

Best Place To Buy This Product: gunfightersinc.com

My Overall Rating: 9.0

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.

Specifications Of This Product:

  • Right or Left handed.
  • 30% Angle.
  • Magazine holders available
  • Adjustable retention.
  • Sweat guard.
  • The Kenai Chest Holster was designed with all-day comfort in mind.
  • The harness utilizes wide flat nylon webbing and buckles and also has heavy-duty double-layer elastic sewn in key locations, so it expands and contracts as you breathe.
  • The Holster is made of Kydex material
  • Each shell is custom-made for your specific handgun.

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.

    COLD STEEL SRK COMPACT FIXED BLADE KNIFE

    Product Review

    Great Compact Knife

    Product: Cold Steel SRK Compact Fixed Blade Knife

    Price: $35.54

    Durability: High

    Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon

    My Overall Rating: 9.0

    Quick Product Overview:

    Cold Steel makes some awesome knives, they have a full-size version called the SRK (10 3/4″ overall. 6″ blade) and now you can get almost all the performance of the SRK in a substantially shorter, lighter, and thinner package. Designed expressly for those who want or need a low-profile fixed blade. The SRK compact is almost a mirror image of its big brother with all the features you have to come to expect. Supplied with a super sturdy Secure-Ex sheath it is very lightweight and should last for years.

    Specifications Of This Product:

    Weight: 5.1oz

    Blade Thickness: 4mm

    Blade Length: 5″

    Blade Steel: SK-5 w/ Black, Tuff-Ex™ Finish

    Handle Length/Material: 4-1/2″ Kray-Ex™

    Overall Length: 9-1/2″

    Additional Features: Secure-Ex® Sheath

    Knife Type: Fixed

    Blade Length Range: 3-5 in

    Steel Family: High Carbon Steels

    Blade Shape: Clip Point

    What I Like About This Product:

    This knife is constructed very well and seems to hold a fine edge.  It is comfortable in your hand and does not seem to create any hot spots after extended use.  The SRKC works great as an EDC knife and yet is big enough to find multiple uses.  The sheath is constructed very well and holds the knife in place very well.

    What I Would Change About This Product:

    While I like the sheath, I would like to make one modification to it. The lower plastic sheath is great but I do not like the nylon upper portion, as seen in the picture. 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.     

    Final Remarks:

    I saw the knife on the YouTube channel, Survival on Purpose, and thought it was pretty cool.  Do I need another knife – NO but I am glad I got it.  It is a great-sized knife and works really well for a good basic EDC knife.  It came with a decent edge on it but after touching it up with my ceramic steel it is now an outstanding edge.  If you want a knife that is a good all-around knife, you need to check this SRK Compact out, you will not be sorry.

      Final Remarks:

      This Wagner Spray Tech Heat Gun works great and does what you expect it to do.  It has two heat setting with “OFF” in the middle. The accessories that come with it may be useful in certain applications but I usually use it without those pieces. I highly recommend this heat gun.

        BREAK FREE CLP

        Product Review

        The best gun oil

        Product: Break Free CLP

        Price: $8.23

        Durability: Very Good

        Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon

        My Overall Rating: 9.0

        Quick Product Overview:

        THE ALL IN ONE FORMULA TO SERVICE YOUR FIREARM

        CLEANS A proprietary, penetrating formula that breaks loose powder fouling, oil, grime, grease and corrosion that can damage metal.

        LUBRICATES Reduces friction, retards wear and stops build-up of foreign matter.

        PRESERVES Creates a long-lasting, protective coating that shields all metals from rust and corrosion.

        Specifications Of This Product:

        • SPECIALLY formulated, polymerized, synthetic oils.
        • SAFE for all gunmetal finishes.
        • REDUCES FRICTION stops the build-up of foreign particles and inhibits rust.

        What I Like About This Product:

        I have been using it for years and it really works.  Colorado is not a high humidity state and in those areas, things might be different but for my needs, it works great.  

        What I Would Change About This Product:

        No changes are needed.

        Final Remarks:

        I may need to clarify one thing, I do not use this product as a one-stop shop, meaning as a cleaner and preservative in one.  I like to use Hoppes #9 as my cleaner and then Break Free CLP as my gun oil to lubricate and prevent rust.  And for that, it works perfectly.

          MB SXOWBMU HANDGUN TACTICAL RANGE BACKPACK

          Product Review

          Awesome Range Handgun Backpack

          Product: MB Sxowbmu Handgun Tactical Range Backpack

          Price: $60.88

          Durability: High

          Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon

          My Overall Rating: 9.5

          Quick Product Overview:

          The MB Sxowbmu Handgun Tactical Range Backpack has three removable lockable handgun cases that can be used to store handguns and ammo.  There are enough exterior pockets to fit most of the gun equipment without having to dig though a massive main compartment, but not so many that they are too small to store the necessary gun accessories. This backpack has a built-in rain shield. This rain shield will keep your hunting accessories dry when you encounter inclement weather.  If you encounter any problems with the backpack after purchase, it has a lifetime warranty on the product.

          Specifications Of This Product:

          • The size of this bag is 14″ x 8″ x 18″ ( W x D x H ).
          • The handgun backpack with three handgun cases is designed to organize storage for most of your equipment.
          • The compartments in the top of the pack can be used to carry ammo, shooting earmuffs, shooting glasses, and other handgun equipment.

          What I Like About This Product:

          I have always had a traditional hand-held range bag where I stored my handguns, ammo, and shooting supplies for the range.  Sometimes I would have liked to have my hands free to carry other items that I needed.  This backpack gives me the option to strap on these shooting supplies and still have my hands free to carry other things.  I like that option. It is surprising how much stuff this backpack holds.

          What I Would Change About This Product:

          Some of the pockets have some very small holding areas that I can not utilize.  It might be nice to have some adjustable compartments so I can adjust the size I need.

          Final Remarks:

          It is a nice change of pace to have a range bag that is designed like a backpack.  It really holds a ton of stuff but in a way to make it conducive to putting it on your back rather than holding it in your hand.  I really like the backpack and highly recommend it.

            UTG DELUXE SINGLE PISTOL CASE

            Product Review

            Awesome soft pistol case

            Product: UTG Deluxe Single Pistol Case

            Price: $20.55

            Durability: High

            Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon

            My Overall Rating: 9.5

            Quick Product Overview:

            This UTG Deluxe Single Pistol Case has a Double-sided Padded Interior. It provides Maximum Protection from Dents and Scratches to your pistol or magazines. It has five integral magazine pouches and fits most double and single-stacked magazines. The exterior accessory pocket has a hook-and-loop closure and works for most other additional range and pistol essentials

            Specifications Of This Product:

            • Made of durable 1680D Polyester Construction
            • Has 1.5″ Wide Two-piece Wraparound Carry Handles for immediate grab and go
            • Its size is  11″ (length)  x  8″ (height).

            What I Like About This Product:

            The padding in this case is excellent so it protects your handgun no matter what kind of conditions it is in. I like the way it secures the magazines and keeps them from rattling around too.  It has nice zippers so they do not open up as well.

            What I Would Change About This Product:

            The case is good just the way it is.

            Final Remarks:

            this is a great single pistol case that holds both your pistol and magazines very securely.  I have talked about using it with semi-automatic pistols, but it will work with revolvers too.  I have replaced my old case with this one and I highly recommend this case if you are needing a case like this.

              VISM UNIVERSAL PISTOL REAR SIGHT TOOL

              Product Review

              Excellent Sight Pushing Tool

              Product: NcSTAR VISM Universal Pistol Rear Sight Tool

              Price: $58.99

              Durability: High

              Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon

              My Overall Rating: 9.5

              Quick Product Overview:

              The Universal Pistol Rear Sight Tool is designed for the removal, installation, and adjusting of windage of dovetailed rear sights for most Semi-Auto Pistol slides. The Universal Pistol Rear Sight Tool works with many types of semi-auto slides: full, compact, subcompact, and pocket-sized semi-auto pistols. The base platform is adjustable for height, to get your slide and rear sights at the proper height for the rear sight pusher. Includes one bottom spacer for some pocket pistol slides for proper height alignment. The multiple vertical and horizontal clamps secure various sizes and types of semi-auto slides in the tool. The adjustable top brace with a plastic insert to secure the slide’s vertical placement on the base platform. The adjustable side braces with plastic inserts secure the slide’s horizontal placement on the base platform. Includes two sets of side plastic inserts: a pair of flat inserts and a pair of stepped inserts to fit a wide variety of slide profiles.

              Specifications Of This Product:

              • The rear sight pusher will work with 90 degrees and 30 degree rear sight profiles. The rear sight pusher can remove, install, or adjust the rear sights in either direction.
              • Side witness windows machined into both sides of tool frame to check for and verify proper tool and rear sight alignment.
              • Sight tool frame can be bolted to, clamped onto a work surface, or clamped onto a work vice.
              • The rear sight pusher tool has an adjustable/removable handle or you can use a 15mm wrench or socket tool.
              • Heavy-duty Blue Anodized aluminum frame with steel tools
              • Sight pusher steel screw has brass bushings for good bearing surface characteristics and excellent strength.

              What I Like About This Product:

              It works so easily!  I have used other sight tools and I always had to modify things so they would work.  Not this tool, it comes with everything necessary to do the job.  

              What I Would Change About This Product:

              The only thing I add when using this tool is some blue painter’s tape, just in case it would mar the finish and I am good to go and that is not really a change to the tool.

              Final Remarks:

              This is a great universal rear sight pusher.  It is large enough to hold the large frame semi-automatic pistols slides as well as the medium and small slides too.  It works very easily, which is a nice change from other sight pushers I have used. It is much better to use a sight pusher rather than a hammer and a punch, I really recommend this one, it is the only one I use now.

                GLOCK OEM ADJUSTABLE REAR SIGHTS

                Product Review

                Nice inexpensive rear sight

                Product: Glock OEM Adjustable Rear Sight

                Price: $25.97

                Durability: GOOD

                Best Place To Buy This Product: aMAZON

                My Overall Rating: 8.5

                Quick Product Overview:

                This is the Glock Adjustable Rear factory sight that gives you both elevation and windage adjustments. The screwdriver is designed for use with the Glock Factory Adjustable Rear sight.

                Specifications Of This Product:

                • This is the Glock factory adjustable rear sight that gives you both elevation and windage adjustments.
                • Easy to install.
                • Simply drive out your existing sight and replace with this new improved version.
                • This plastic sight functions perfectly with all models of Glock handguns except G42 and G43

                What I Like About This Product:

                While this is still a plastic sight, it does give you both elevation and windage adjustments on the sight and it comes with the needed adjustment tool.

                What I Would Change About This Product:

                If I had to change one thing about these sights it would be changing it to metal instead of plastic.  Other than that it works pretty well.

                Final Remarks:

                The one thing that can be frustrating is that when you are sighting in your handgun when it has fixed sights is when the point of aim is off.  A windage adjustment is usually pretty easy to change but when the elevation is off, that can get tricky.  Rather than filing the front sight, these adjustable sights make that very simple. Plus this rear sight is very inexpensive.

                  PEARCE GRIP EXTENSIONS FOR GLOCK PISTOLS

                  Product Review

                  Great Addition To Your Magazines

                         

                     

                  Product: Pierce Grip Extensions

                  Price: $11.04

                  Durability: High

                  Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon

                  My Overall Rating: 9.5

                  Quick Product Overview:

                  The picture on the left is a stock Glock with the normal plate on the magazine. Top right is a Glock 26 with a Pearce Grip Extension.  The bottom right is a Glock 30 with a  Pearce Grip Extension on it. These units replace the magazine base plate and retain all other factory components. They do not alter the capacity of the magazine. These units will add 5/8″ additional length for better control and comfort.*** For use on 1st – 3rd, 4th, and 5th Generation magazines, must order specific generation products.

                  Specifications Of This Product:

                    • These units blend with the contours and texture of the handgun giving a factory appearance.
                    • They are made from High Impact Polymer and withstand drop tests at temperatures from -20 F to 250 F.
                    • They form the next logical finger positioning feature to provide control and comfort without sacrificing conceal ability.

                  What I Like About This Product:

                  As I really like my Glock 26 & 30 for concealed carry, I dislike the fact that I can only get two fingers on the grip, and my pinkie finger is curled underneath the magazine.  Once I tried these extensions on my magazines it made all the difference in the world. Better grip, and more control of my gun.

                  What I Would Change About This Product:

                  This product is very good and I would not change anything about this magazine extension.

                  Final Remarks:

                  One of the major things we need when we are shooting is a good grip on the handgun, without this our accuracy would be very poor.  Using this Pearce Grip Extension helps us to attain a good grip on the handgun by adding a little more length to the magazine and therefore being able to stabilize the handgun better. Some of these extensions also add more capacity to the magazine and that is a good thing as well. For just a few extra dollars, these modifications are worth it.

                    This product makes takedown of your Glock much easier!  It is precision machined (not stamped, like many of the slide locks on the market).

                    They have versions that will fit Generations 1, 2, 3, 4 Glock handguns. Then they have versions available for Glock 36, 42, and Glock 43 then also for the Gen5 version, read the descriptions carefully so you get the correct part.

                    It is available in 8+ colors and it installs in minutes — watch the installation video online.

                    Specifications Of This Product:

                    They machine this precision part here in the USA from 416 stainless steel that is hardened to 42 Rockwell.

                    What I Like About This Product:

                    This extended slide stop is easy to install yourself so you do not have to go to a gunsmith, and that is a good thing.  The video from the Glock Store is really clear in their explanation and it really helps you finish the job.

                    What I Would Change About This Product:

                    I would change nothing about this product, it works great the way it is.

                    Final Remarks:

                    If you struggle with grasping the takedown levers every time you want to take the slide apart, get this product.  It is inexpensive and easy to install yourself.  Believe me you will be glad you did.
