I usu. carry a .357 and my husband a 40 - chest holsters just don't seem to work for us. Though I usu. have my camera in that general area so that might be why for me. I've ended up hooking my holster to the hip belt.

If my husband takes the shotgun, he has it on a strap so that it hangs, but he can still get to it quickly (without unstrapping it.)

Sorry not much help.
