Crossfire Elite Alaskan Frame Hip/Belt Holster, Ambidextrous

This holster is not made for larger people . I am 6 ft and 180 lbs . This fits ok with only light weight clothing but with cold weather clothing it is barely usable . There is no mention of what size person this bandoleer is made for . For those people who do not have a CCW they must carry the pistol fully exposed . I am working on getting my CCW but until then if I carry my pistol hunting I must have the holster over my hunting clothing so it is fully exposed . The length of the bandoleer is not quite as long as it should be . I know it is an inexpensive holster but a few inches more on the strap would make it a very decent and useful item . As is I may have to return it .

I used this holster to carry my 6 inch gp100 .357 pistol during a wild boar hunt. 12 mile hike up and down mountainous region and my pistol stay comfortable in this holster. Awesome product.

The good: More inexpensive than most Alaskans. The only one I could find for a five inch barrel medium frame (mine is a GP100). Convertible to a belt holster. Ambidextrous. Simple. Speed loader pouch fits on chest strap.The bad: Flops around a bit (can be minimized by hooking to opposite D ring, but this might scratch grips). Retaining strap makes drawing revolver a two handed operation (a thumb break is available from the manufacturer)..

This fits perfectly for large and medium frame revolvers. I ordered this specifically for my Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum, with 4" barrel. I also use it for a S&W Model 66 with 2.5 inch barrel. Your belt runs thru it if you wish, and it also has the cross body strap for extra support for heavy guns. The strap is easily removed if you just want a belt slide holster. Well made and would recommend this product.

Looked like it would have been a nice holster but there advertised 8 inch is a long way off from fitting my taurus 44 mag. 8 3/8 barrel. So i had to send mine back.

I needed a system for my hunting revolver. This has a sold and secure construction that would work great in the field for a bandolier Holster. The straps are adjustable for any user. The holster is secure.Since I added a red dot to my firearm, though, I needed something to accommodate for the accessory which this did not allow.If you're using open/iron sights, it's a heavy duty option.

I am using this for a S&W 686+ 6" barrel - fits snugly/perfectly. What an awesome holster. I first tried a drop leg type holster and found I like the idea of a drop leg holster a whole lot more than actually using one. A 686 w/6" barrel is fairly heavy to be strapped to your leg and belt. Leg muscles are not particularly well suited to having snug straps around them during longer hikes. Having a heavy revolver swinging with your leg is not an ideal situation. This style over-shoulder bandolero type holster just works. Revolver ends up sitting snugly up against your side above the waist - high enough to stay out of the way, low enough for a comfortable cross draw. The wide padded shoulder strap (essential!) does a great job taking the bite out of the weight. The belt strap/clip adding to overall security and making one handed draw possible (if not a little clumsy). A very nice adjustable thumb break is effective and easy to use. Nice touch: included a tongue depressor to make it much easier to adjust the velcro on the thumb break. Plenty of strap adjustments to carry your revolver in a number of different positions. Clearly not a holster well suited for concealed carry - more of an exposed in the field / hunting type holster...or to rile up the hipsters at your local Starbucks (kidding!, please don't!). Better made, and more comfortable to wear than the photo suggests.

I have a somewhat rare S&W. It’s a 5.5” barreled 627-0, .357 on the large N Frame.To say finding a holster was challenging is an understatement. This one fits great, seems quite well made and has a couple carry options with it.
