The Cole-Tac VWX104 Varmint Wrangler XL delivers secure pistol retention during extended field operations and precision shooting sessions. This left-handed chest holster system eliminates the draw interference common with traditional hip holsters when shooting from prone positions or navigating dense terrain.
What Makes This Different
The Varmint Wrangler XL features Cole-Tac's proprietary retention system that maintains weapon security without compromising draw speed. Unlike standard chest rigs that rely solely on elastic retention, this holster incorporates adjustable tension screws and a reinforced trigger guard channel. The XL designation accommodates full-size pistols with mounted optics and tactical lights up to 4 inches in length.
Key Features
- Left-hand specific design optimized for cross-body draw mechanics

Field testing demonstrates consistent draw times under 1.2 seconds from concealment while maintaining Level II retention security. The harness distributes weight evenly across the torso, reducing fatigue during extended hunting sessions or competitive shooting events. Water-resistant materials and sealed seams protect against moisture infiltration in adverse weather conditions.
