A friend is buying a Smith .460 for carry as an anti-bear gun while fishing in Alaska. He's wondering about shoulder holsters, and thinking about carrying it cross-draw, but located more or less in the center of his chest.

The gun is a monster, of course, and the Uncle Mike's site, for example, doesn't look too promising. Clicking on their big-revolver, shoulder-holster selection leads you to a picture of a pretty standard-looking shoulder holster holding a Ruger .22.

Galco makes a Kodiak holster designed just for the long barreled (8 1/2") X-Frame Smith & Wessons:

They also make "DAO" holster for the 4" X-Frame

Yeah - he looked at the Galco holster, but he'll be standing in a river up to his waist in water at least, maybe deeper. He's probably going to buy the 5" 460.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll pass them on. Dean obviously knows who I'm talking about, but I somehow didn't get that he would be that deep in water. Maybe there's some way to hitch the Galco up. Because otherwise it looks good.
