Hill People Gear. I carried a S&W 10mm in Montana and Wyoming in mine without an issue. I’ll probably just bring a 9mm next time.

Here’s another option that I just ran across, made in USA:

DO IT ALL Survival Chest Pack! Better Then Hill People Gear Kit Bag?

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned Hill People Gear yet?

The little kit bag fits a G19 or and HKVP9 SK just fine. Add a Dale Fricke Zack trigger guard holster and you’re good to go.

Silly pic of my wearing mine in the Smokies.

That looks decent but what I love about the HPG kit bag is that it has clips / lifters which allow you to quickly attach/detach it from a pack harness system while hiking.  This transfers almost all the weight to the pack.  Not only that, it let's you wear the kit bag straps a little more loosely so you don't sweat as bad.

I've been using a Hill People Gear for a few years. The original design. A Glock 20 or 21, a couple mags, phone, small compass, couple power bars, small light, allergy eye drops, and a can of OC on the bottom.

Only one I've tried is the Viktos Low Key.  https://viktos.com/tactical/chest-rigs/low-key-chest-rig/

I've worn it on several out-west hiking and fishing trips.  Very comfortable, even when wearing a day pack over the harness.  It holds up to a G17 or G21 sized gun, spare magazine, multitool, map, phone, snack bar, binos, and bear spray underneath.  It really doesn't look like a gun bag.

I wear one a couple times a week. My homestead buts up again national forest so I'm out and about on my property or NF all the time.

I sold my hill people gear one and now only use the 5.11 one. The 5.11 has that air mess on it and in the ozarks it's much more comfortable against the chest in a T-shirt
The hill people gear was also too big for me. And the 5.11 was on clearance for like $20 not that long ago so I sold my hill people gear one used for like $150 and bought two 5.11 ones.
The 5.11 one has been great.
