Galco Kodiak Shoulder Holster on sale and available from our online store. We are an Authorized US Distributor for Galco Holsters. Designed to keep a large hunting handgun both comfortable and accessible, Galcos new Kodiak Shoulder Holster carries a magnum revolver diagonally across the torso. Using the same principles as modern backpacks, a padded shoulder strap is used in conjunction with a torso strap that allows for instant adjustments throughout a day spent afield. As the torso strap is tightened, weight is shifted off the shoulder strap, allowing for a full day of comfortable field carry. Actual placement and angle of the Kodiak holster on the front torso can be easily changed throughout the day to accommodate most field activities, including driving ATVs and trucks, without interfering with the normal range of motion. No screws or tools are needed to make adjustments to accommodate heavy winter clothes, wear under the coat, or simply over a shirt in warm weather. The Kodiak comes assembled and includes holster, shoulder strap and torso strap. The optional Kodiak Holster Bandolier may be purchased separately. Whether used to carry a primary hunting revolver, as backup for rifle or archery hunters, or for peace of mind in bear country, the Kodiak keeps a heavy revolver secure, accessible, and comfortable. Available in havana brown.

Suggest a modification to the harness to have it attach to your belt to eliminate the twist of the assembly during hiking. Otherwise it is incredible!!!Pros: Excellent fit, quality materials. Protects handgunCons: has a tendency to not ride as shown and slide to the side

I recently purchased this holster for my 460 S&W with the 8 3/8 barrel. I use this weapon for hunting here in Vermont & prefer to keep my hands free when I'm moving through timber. This holster is extremely well made, tight fitting to the gun, & so comfortable your almost able to forget your carrying that cannon around. Beautifully made, easily adjustable, near perfect weight distribution, & the Havanna Brown color is just eye catching. This is definitely a case of you get what you pay for.

bought this holster for a Super Blackhawk Hunter 44. First inspection showed no defects in material or workmanship. Came with a generous amount of straps for adjustment. Harness is easily adjusted and remained secure. Weapon retention was excellent, holster fit was like it was hand molded to the revolver. Once adjusted, this rig is very comfortable and made this big revolver easy to carry all day long while working at the cabin. Having a good revolver is handy since we have a bit of a hog problem.

This holster fits my Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter 44 Magnum like a glove. Be sure to let the leather warm in the full sun for 15-20 minutes then firmly fit your saran-wrapped revolver inside. Let sit untouched for 3 days, remove the saran wrap and bam! — you'll have a perfectly fit holster. Also, find a few 1" web strap keepers to add to this rig. This makes the rather long ends of the webbing easier to keep neat.Great holster for hoggin' or huntin' or just hikin' around the woods.Pros: Beautiful leather, high quality web strapsCons: A bit pricey but worth it!

My purchase was largely influenced by reviews, positive and negative, from previous purchasers. I do not hunt with my revolver. I use it as back-up during archery hunts.I found the Galco Kodiac Shoulder Holster a tight fit to my 7-1/2", 44 mag Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter (w/o a scope). But, I expected this, as I also expected the fit to ONLY get better with time as the break-in process takes place. Having a perfect fit, with leather, from the very onset does not seem reasonable to me. The fit may become looser with time and usage. I had no problems with the holster, even tho a review indicated the leather strap over the hammer, with a similar revolver, would not fit. Also, my preference for the nylon straps holding the rig to my body meets my expectations. Again, I'm not a handgun hunter, but as the nylon straps get wet thru inclement weather or sweat, I don't expect the fit to my body to change due to stretching, as I would with a full-leather rig. I believe I have found the best rig for my situation, with thanks to everyone else's experiences and comments.Additionally, the Galco bandolier was a perfect match and fit for the holster. Needless to say, I want things to go my when when it matters most.Thanks to Galco and the people who took the time to review this product(s). You all helped me make a better, informed decision and purchase.

This is a very nice holster and is made of the best quality materials that one can find. I bought it for my Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag with a 7-1/2" barrel. It fits very nice, maybe a little too tight around the rear sight, but it will break in a little with some use and be just fine. I tried the Uncle Mikes Shoulder Holster and it is a piece of junk that is not comfortable to wear like this holster. If you can afford it, you will not be disappointed with this holster.Pros: Fits tightly and is comfortableCons: A little more than I wanted to spend
