The Galco GA128 Great Alaskan shoulder holster delivers secure carry for large-frame revolvers in demanding outdoor environments. This premium leather system accommodates chest sizes up to 54 inches while maintaining quick access and weapon retention for extended wilderness activities.
What Makes This Different
The Great Alaskan features a unique torso strap design that distributes weight across the shoulders and back, reducing fatigue during long hunting trips or outdoor work. Unlike standard shoulder holsters that rely solely on shoulder straps, this system includes a stabilizing torso component that prevents shifting and bouncing. The thick leather construction withstands harsh weather conditions while the open-top design allows for rapid deployment when seconds matter.
Key Features
- Accommodates chest measurements up to 54 inches for larger frame users
- Premium tan leather construction resists moisture and temperature extremes
- Fits Ruger GP100 and Smith & Wesson L-Frame revolvers with 4-inch barrels
- Shoulder and torso strap system distributes weight evenly

Field performance centers on comfort during extended wear periods. The dual-strap system eliminates the single-point stress common with traditional shoulder rigs, making it suitable for hunters spending full days in the field. The leather maintains its shape in wet conditions while providing consistent retention pressure. Guide services and backcountry professionals rely on this holster design for situations requiring hands-free carry with immediate weapon access.
