My set up sucks. I've got a chest harness rig for my binos and a cheap chest holster for a revolver that I need to upgrade.

Show me something that works for you. Seems a pack that is wide enough could carry both internally side by side or chest back for the binos with external molly for a holster but that seems like it will make the gun stick out too far.

Venandi Holsters

I went through this a couple years ago and saw this company advertising locally. I looked through his website at the various photos and made myself something similar, as I had been making Kydex holsters for myself for a few years. I ended up with one for a G19 with TLR1, a G43 / 43X and a Ruger GP-100.

I think there are a couple different companies making similar holsters. I have not seen a pack that would fit both binos and a pistol inside.

I think First Lite used to make a holster that attached to the bottom of a bino pouch, but I can't find it on their website any more.

I tried a couple combinations, nothing works as well as Hill people, with the bino pouch.

Marsupial makes a great bino pouch and they sell a holster that attaches to the bottom of the bino pouch with a molle strap. Marsupialgear.com

Gun Fighter Inc makes the Bino-Link that attaches to your bino harness. They make them for several different chest rigs

This is where I've landed.  Have one on a Alaska Guide Creations Ravus.  Ive gone through a lot of combos over the years but this seems best.  Second best is a Diamond D chest holster independent of the bino harness.

I use a Gunfighters Kenai chest rig with Alaska Guide Creations bino pack over it.  Then my Kuiu Pro frame pack over both.  3 sets of straps, but no issues.  Put many miles on in Alaska on a 7 day caribou hunt, flawless.

I wanted to have my pistol rig always on for bears, but were times I did not want my pack or bino harness on.  My 2 hunting partners all had similar setups, no complaints.

I positioned the Kenai rig where the butt of the revolver was accessible behind the AGC bino pack, bino pack worn a little lower to give more pistol access as well.
Packed a S&W 329pd.
