My Taurus Tracker .357 with 4" barrel fits like a glove, great retention and like the hammer strap for extra protection.
I have been wearing this for the whole weekend and honestly I forgot I'm wearing it, it so comfortable! When you lean forward it stays against your chest. I can wear a pair of shorts and not have my sidearm pulling them down. Yes, it's not made for concealment, but why would you.
Do yourself a favor, sell or give away your old holsters and get this...... you won't be dissatisfied!!!!!

Next is have on hand a roll of stretch wrap and go around the revolver about 50x and push gun into holster until up to almost the rear sight and let it sit for 24hrs and then coat internal with another coat of oil and insert revolver on after 24hrs it’s now worn into size.
Without doing the above you definitely need 2 hands to draw the pistol as the gun is so tight in the holster it will spin holster and you will have to yank gun several times to withdraw it.
Other then the tightness it’s in perfect position for cross draw with adjustable straps and with the safety hammer loop adjusted you have confidence it won’t fall out while bending over.
Heavy duty and then some as it’s a top quality holster. I’m considering buying another for my other Super Redhawk Alaskan .
This chest holster system isnt cheap and looks kind of silly. It's the precise opposite of a concealed carry holster. But I don't care, because this Diamond D Guides Choice is awesome.
It fit perfectly right out of the packaging (I'm 6'2", 250 pounds, and I ordered a size large). It is the most comfortable way to carry I've ever tried, and I've tried just about everything: IWB, OWB, shoulder, belly band, ankle, boot. My state allows open carry, so I wore it to a gun shop 40 minutes away. The guys there were impressed with it. Is it ostentatious? Yes, at least in the city. Is it more comfy than any other holster out there? To me, that's a big YES.
I don't do many product reviews. When I do, it's usually to complain like everyone else. But my only complaint about this is not having a loop to secure a dangling strap. Everything else is excellent. I love this holster.
I use it for my two Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskans, one in 454 casull and the other in .44 magnum. Both fit perfectly.
And no, I didn't get the holster for free. I don't have any association with the company. I paid full price at Amazon and got free one-day shipping.
Great product. US Made!!!!
