Jacksonville, Florida – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group®, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets and one of Cadre Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre”) key brands, has announced the release of a new chest-positioned holster attachment option. The Safariland Chest Rig offers a secure and stable platform for safe and convenient firearm access.
The new Safariland Chest Rig (SCR) design is compatible with Safariland 6000 series and 7TS holsters. When paired with these three-hole patterned holsters and coordinating accessories, the cant can be adjusted for enhanced accessibility. The quick attachment buckle increases this accessibility by allowing for one-handed attachment. The injection molded nylon construction is extremely durable and made to last. The chest rig offers a replacement for standard belt attachment, making the chest rig a flexible option for alternate carry use.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Safariland Chest Rig to customers,” said Tim Drnec, VP of Marketing for Safariland. “We have been working hard on its development, and I am certain all will appreciate the increased stability and retainment options it provides.”
The SCR is a top choice for outdoor activity that requires a holster but where traditional belt carry is less than ideal. Chest carry keeps clutter off your waist without compromising ease of access. Whether spending time in the backcountry hunting and hiking, overlanding on ATVs, or scaling trails on horseback, the Safariland Chest Rig provides flexibility for any outdoor adventure.

Do you guys like those? When I sat in the driver’s side rear seat and the guy on the passenger side had one of those on his chest, I was very aware of the muzzle pointed at me.
Ditto. But for me it always depends on the make of the pistol and holster. If the holster was a good one with good retention and covered trigger and the gun is a model with a track record (glock, p226, M92, etc.) for safety, I’m not too worried.
You sit next to me with a fly-by-night kyber pass knockoff in a $15 Chinese cordura snap button holster on your chest I’m leaving.
A lot of it boils down to context. This is more designed to fill the role of something like the Kenai or HPG kit bag You use it while backpacking, so it doesn’t interfere with your ruck, in scenarios where flagging people isn’t as big of a risk. On the topic of flagging, I’d suggest you look up Annette Evans review of the flash bang bra holster, that she did with Inrangetv, it does a good breakdown of how to safely draw and reholster from the cross-draw safely.
