Armageddon Gear's original Big Game Chest Rig was built with hunters in mind—simple, tough and practical. It featured two dump pockets designed for tags, wind checkers, rangefinders, gloves or whatever else the day demanded. And for a long time, that setup did exactly what it was supposed to do. But as more hunters put miles on it, one request kept coming back: "I love this rig… I just need a place for my pistol." Instead of forcing a compromise or bolting on something awkward, Armageddon Gear did what they do best. They went back to the drawing board and built a purpose-driven solution. That solution is the Gun Slinger Chest Rig, offered alongside the original Big Game Chest Rig for hunters who want sidearm carry built in from the start.
The Gun Slinger is constructed primarily from Armageddon Gear's signature double-waxed canvas, chosen for its durability, weather resistance, and quiet performance in the field. Webbing straps keep the rig secure and comfortable without excess bulk, while the binocular compartment uses a magnetic closure for fast, silent access when seconds count. On the carry side, the Gun Slinger features a dedicated pistol holster, positioned for balance and accessibility, and opposite it sits a single dump pocket perfect for essentials without overcrowding the rig.
The result is a chest rig shaped directly by real-world use and real hunter feedback. The Gun Slinger keeps everything tight to your chest, organized, and ready, whether you're glassing from a ridge, slipping through timber, or climbing in and out of a truck. It's not a replacement for the Big Game Chest Rig, it's the next option for hunters who asked for more, and got exactly that.
