Recommendation Needed - Chest Rig/Bandolero Holster

Frogdog
Evening, all! Looking for recommendations for a good chest rig or bandolero holster to accommodate a 5.5" Ruger Redhawk. Additionally, I need one for a 5.5" Ruger Blackhawk. If there is one that can work for both....even better.

Ideally, I am looking for something sturdy but basic. Kydex would be great (example: Gunfighters Inc Kenai rig), but leather or other material is fine as well. I have really only seen a few that fit the bill, but I am not looking to drop $150+. Looked on the auction side as well, but not much there.

Thanks for any recommendations you might have.

    Blackhawk has a chest rig for big revolvers that?s under your price range but it?s not pretty. Ruger sells them too but I believe only for the 4? Redhawk at the moment. I?d spend the money on a Diamond D Leather rig. My brother in law has one for a long slide Glock 10mm and it?s awesome.

    There's local outfit here in La Grande called Windhill Holsters that makes some pretty nice chest rigs. I know the two guys that started the company and the now current owner.

    For what it might be worth I finally gave up on going cheap. Like many others I have a basket of cheap I never use. My chest rig is custom from Purdy Gear. Clings like a limpet and even with a .480 Redhawk it is not uncomfortable. It did however cost well more than $150. I think it is worth the price, Karla at Purdy Gear is about as good as leather work gets.

    The Chesty Puller made by Simply Rugged. Hands down the best option out there.

    I have one for a 5.5" Redhawk and it is very comfortable. I used mine when I was fishing with waders on.

    As a plus you can remove the straps and use it as a hip holster.
