GREAT ALASKAN Chest Holster for Pistol with Red Dot Optic (RDO)
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.
- Crossdraw across the torso
The Great Alaskan carries a compatible large pistol in an accessible crossdraw position across the torso. GALCO describes it for hunting, fishing, camping and hiking. The premium-steerhide holster component is fully lined with smooth saddle leather.
- Leather harness with pivoting attachment points
The harness also uses premium steerhide. Pivoting holster attachment points help it conform to the body, while the 2-inch-wide shoulder strap distributes weight. An adjustable torso strap with a Fastex-type buckle facilitates putting the system on and taking it off. GALCO specifies a chest circumference up to 54 inches. The firearm-retention strap has a glove-friendly polymer release tab.
- Optional spare magazine carrier
The harness accepts an optional Great Alaskan Ammo Carrier. For the auto-pistol configuration described here, that separately supplied carrier holds one spare magazine. It is not included in the stated holster system.
- Carry method
Chest-style crossdraw system; fits chests up to 54 inches.
Material and craftsmanship
Holster and harness in premium steerhide; holster fully lined with smooth saddle leather.

Notes
- Optional ammunition carriers are 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.
