Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I comfortably wear this leather chest holster while carrying a heavy multi-day backpack? Yes. This is exactly what the Guides Choice™ was engineered for. Unlike traditional waist or shoulder holsters, the straps lie incredibly flat across your shoulders and back, allowing you to wear heavy expedition pack harnesses right over the rig without pinching or rubbing raw spots.

Does this leather holster require a break-in period out of the box? Like all custom, high-end handmade leather products, it will arrive with a tight, high-security fit. We recommend drawing and re-holstering your unloaded Taurus Tracker a few dozen times to naturally smooth out and seat the leather to your revolver's specific cylinder and barrel lines.

Is the leather treated to withstand heavy rain or fly-fishing wade depths? Diamond D Leather uses an exceptionally high-grade oil finish that naturally repels moisture. However, for continuous exposure to extreme elements or saltwater air, applying a premium beeswax-based leather conditioner (like Diamond D's Skidmore's conditioning cream) will ensure a lifetime of supple durability.
