GREAT ALASKAN Chest Holster for Revolvers
Built for bear country: the Great Alaskan carries a large handgun in an easily accessible crossdraw position on the chest – ideal for hunting, fishing, camping or hiking, says GALCO. The premium steerhide harness pivots at the holster attachment points and spreads the weight over a 2-inch shoulder strap.
The modular shoulder system is GALCO’s signature: according to the manufacturer, Galco International invented the interchangeable shoulder-system components (originally the “Jackass Rig”) in 1970. Founded in Chicago in 1969, GALCO today works from Phoenix, Arizona.

The GREAT ALASKAN carries the revolver in a crossdraw position on the torso. GALCO describes it for hunting, fishing, camping and hiking.
- Leather and lining

- Pivoting harness and fastening

Notes
- The optional Great Alaskan ammunition carrier is not included.
- For the most harmonious overall look, we recommend choosing leather holsters and leather accessories from the same manufacturer in the same colour designation. Leather is a natural material; slight variations are possible even within one colour. Colour names such as brown, tan, cognac or natural are not standardised across manufacturers.
- For leather care we recommend the GALCO Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
* Firearms, optics, magazines, ammunition and accessories shown are not included unless expressly stated. The selected article variant applies.
