SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pathfinder Chest Holster for the 1911 Government Optic Ready model is purpose-built for the serious outdoorsman who demands reliability, ruggedness, and hands-free carry in the backcountry. Made from premium American steerhide in a rich Classic Brown finish, this right-handed holster is as tough as the terrain you travel. Whether you're trekking steep trails, riding horseback, or hauling a pack through dense brush, the Pathfinder keeps your sidearm secure, accessible, and protected.
Designed specifically for 1911 Full Rail models, the holster delivers a glove-like fit while accommodating modern optic setups. A robust retention strap ensures your firearm stays locked in place during high movement activities, while the innovative adjust-on-the-fly chest strap system allows you to fine-tune fit quickly—without removing gear or slowing down. It's fully adjustable to fit most body types and is comfortable whether worn over heavy outdoor layers or lighter technical gear.
Built with the outdoors in mind, the Pathfinder balances function and craftsmanship. Every stitch and contour is tailored to keep your weapon close to the body while allowing quick access when needed most. This makes it an ideal solution for hunting, fishing, hiking, or any environment where waistband or belt-mounted holsters fall short. The Classic Brown finish not only looks sharp, it also speaks to the heritage and durability of traditional leatherworking—seasoned and rugged, just like the men and women who wear it.
Whether you're navigating harsh climates or simply want the best carry method when out on the trail, the Pathfinder Chest Holster offers secure retention, premium materials, and a design that’s ready for the long haul.
