CrossBreed Holsters Announces the Chest Rig Nomad

Friday, September 6th, 2024

SPRINGFIELD, MO – CrossBreed® Holsters, a leading manufacturer in the category of concealed carry, has developed the perfect holstering solution for hunters and outdoor adventurers heading afield with full-size backpacks or daypacks. The new Chest Rig Nomad solves the problem of carrying a handgun comfortably and with easy access while wearing a pack.

Based on Crossbreed’s original Chest Rig for pistols and revolvers, the Nomad features three adjustable hook-and-loop straps that secure the system between your backpack’s shoulder straps. Designed as a universal fit for most backpacks, daypacks, and cargo haulers, this configuration places the handgun high on the torso for comfortable all-day carry and for the kind of quick access you want when traveling the remote backcountry.

The core of the Chest Rig Nomad is a handgun-model-specific rugged Kydex pocket fitted to CrossBreed’s premium soft and breathable leather backer. This wide and padded backer distributes pressure and fully supports the handgun to eliminate uncomfortable “hot spots” and pressure points during long days on the trail. Because the three-point strap system is adjustable, the Chest Rig Nomad adapts not only to different pack designs but can be loosened or tightened to accommodate seasonal clothing requirements.

Further customizing of the Chest Rig Nomad comes courtesy of the versatile handgun retention system. Loosening or tightening the pocket-to-backer screws provides the optimal lateral tension on the handgun while the integrated trigger guard retainer can be adjusted for perfect retention and draw performance similar to CrossBreed’s Reckoning holster system.

Taking the pack off or putting it on with the Chest Rig Nomad is made easy with a quick-release buckle system. Simply compress the side release just as you would the pack’s sternum strap buckle and the pack can be taken off without having to remove the holster.

The Chest Rig Nomad is offered in a wide range of handgun model fits and with assorted hardware color options. You can also choose between the durable black cowhide leather backing or CrossBreed’s popular Founders backing.

The new Chest Rig Nomad elegantly solves the challenge of carrying a defensive firearm on outdoor adventures. For more information on this or to see the complete line of everyday carry holsters from CrossBreed, visit CrossBreedHolsters.com.

This updated series now boasts user-friendly features designed to meet the demands of modern firearm enthusiasts.

At only $99, these feature-rich holsters are a great deal,” she emphasized.

According to Zacharová, “We have named individual holsters in our Enhanced Timeless Line in honor of the 39 delegates who shaped and signed the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. We admire the cooperative statesmanship that laid the foundation of the United States of America and the innovative spirit of that historic endeavor. Notable figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton were instrumental in crafting the Constitution, embodying the vision and heritage we strive to reflect in our products. By naming our holsters after these Founding Fathers, we acknowledge their contributions and align our commitment to excellence with their enduring legacy.”

ENHANCED FEATURES OF TIMELESS LEATHER FALCO HOLSTERS

Safety and Performance:

Concealed Carry Innovations:

• IWB Holster Claw: This optional attachment (or wing) tilts the grip of your handgun snugly toward your body, minimizing printing and enhancing concealment—essential for appendix carry.

• Forward Molding: Present in IWB and OWB pancake-style holsters, this design helps tilt the grip of your handgun toward your body for reduced printing.

• Forward Cant and Straight Hip Designs: OWB holsters feature an FBI cant (10-15 degrees) ideal for 3-5 o’clock carry, while IWB holsters are designed for straight hip (no cant) or appendix carry.

Durable Attachments:

• New Colors: Our standard black remains an option, as do two new colors: old-school tan and saddle brown.

• Handcrafted Excellence: Holsters are molded on the exact replica of your handgun for a perfect fit. Then, they are hand-dyed, oiled, lacquered, and crafted with the attention to detail only FALCO artisans can achieve.

• Meticulous Stitching: Holsters are carefully stitched with a solid thread and double-stitched in areas of the highest stress to prevent deformation and maximize lifespan.

• Attention to Detail: Rivets, snaps, and screws on the whole holster are either incorporated between two layers of leather or hidden behind the plastic cover to protect the finish of your precious handgun.

Zacharová added, “Our commitment to excellence and passion for innovation has driven us to create the Enhanced Timeless Holster Series. Each holster looks like a fine piece of art and performs flawlessly under various conditions,” added Zacharová. “These holsters come with a lifetime warranty, underscoring our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.

Gray Fox Strategic – FLUX Capacitor Holster

Now that SIG SAUER has announced (and shipping) the P320-FLUX Legion, it has become more attainable for a wider audience and the desire for holster options is growing. Talk about serendipity.

The Capacitor features universal mounting and adjustable retention and was designed to fit the Raider with or without rails as well as with a limited number of lights.  It is open ended to work with a variety of slides and compensators.  Their three retention screws as well as a few strategic catch points keep the Raider nice and secure in the holster.

Gray Fox Strategic holsters are built to order and the options list is quite expensive. Currently lead time for holsters is about three weeks.
