Well, I had a "want/need" of a chest holster to go with my bino harness for this upcoming hunting season. After some looking around for a bino harness+holster, I didn't find anything of major appeal to me. Plus most of the designs that are out there where the gun hangs lower than the actual binos seemed uncomfortable to me. It's easier for me to not have something on my hip whilst going through some of the thicker areas of brush I generally hunt in and I always like to have binos for glassing and a rangefinder for.. well not guessing. So, I made my own last night and finished it today. Pictures in the vise are of it wet and being molded to my 6.5" Super Blackhawk in 480 Ruger. I sized it so it should work with all my Rugers up to a 7.5" barrel and most other guns of the like. I might need to make another in the future for my S&W's as well just so I have.. options cause who really only has ONE favorite.

Pretty slick! I like the holster design in that it is not wrapped but two piece. This can create a sight track. I have some made that way and can say they are much better for a tall front sight.

Little update, out this weekend for archery I decided to give it a field test. Straight retention wasn't enough and while it was extremely comfortable, I was uncomfortable with moving around. So, I added a simple strap. Otherwise, this has turned out exactly as I expected.

Maybe I missed it, but what is your base chest unit ?
