Guardian Chest Plate

I am running a Marsupial gear bino harness and had a Glock G40 with TLR1 light and Leupold DPP attached underneath my harness. This is a big pistol and I had some concerns about how this would fit and if it would interfere with accessing my range finder pouch, since Im right handed both are on my right side. I used a Razco holster I had from my previous mounting system and it worked great. Harness doesn't stick out much farther from my chest, but I was surprised how much more comfortable it was not having it hanging down below my harness. I never really realized how much it got in the way before until I mounted it this way. I do have to pull my range finder out at a little different angle because the pistol grip sits pretty close to the top of my range finder pouch lid. But its not hard once you get used to it. Overall, this is a great mounting system, I have no complaints.

This is a great idea that is well executed. I’m giving it 4 stars because more description is needed on exactly what type of holster is required to attach to the plate. It’s one thing to say that a particular holster is recommended, when it’s more accurate to say that only this holster, or another with a similar attachment method will fit. I have both Ivory and Blackpoint holsters, but neither work. The only holsters that will fit this plate will have attachment points cast into the back of the holster kind of in the area where the pistol sits in the holster. I contacted Dioni and he got back to me immediately with a couple of suggestions, although that means I need to buy a third holster for this gun. Still worth it for the needed use.

Purchased to field carry a Canik TP9 elite SC. As I was using the holster provided with the firearm, I had to use a few zip ties to secure the holster to the plate and was able to get only one fastener through the plate and holster. The provided straps made for a secure and adjustable fit for my Vortex bino harness. I suggest purchasing a holster designed for this sort of plate, but I was in a time crunch and the zip ties made it work fine. I recommend this product to anyone that wants to try field carrying on their bino harness. It did not interfere with using my binos or range finder and the fire arm is easy to pull from the holster.

Have yet to hunt with it but this far it looks like it will solve all my issues carrying a sidearm in the backcountry. I’ve tried to e hip holster, drop leg holster and others. This solves my issues with the others and doesn’t add another thing to take on and off. Highly recommend it!

Picked it up as soon as I heard about it, and wore it on an 8 day backpack bear hunt. Absolutely love it. I used to have the system that hung below the binos. I never really cared for it but didn’t want the additional straps of the other option. This keeps everything snug and comfortable and gives great access to the pistol. Bottom line, I highly recommend this setup!!
