It's looking like the FE/BFR 454 is about to drop. I plan to get into the handgun hunting business pretty seriously and this rig looks to be about perfect for what I want to do. My plan is to buy the whole package at one time, already have the ACRO, I will buy the reloading dies, a couple thousand brass, bullets, and all that so I can get to work building a load for it and practicing. I need some recommendations for a holster though. I would like a chest rig kind of like the Galco Kodiak I have for my 44. I am not opposed to Kydex. I'm sure with this particular gun and especially with the ACRO on it I will have to get a custom rig made. Who do y'all recommend for something like that?

Could look into the Diamond D Leather Guide’s Choice Chest Holster. I’ve heard good things about it. My dad loves his holster from them for his Taurus Judge. Takes it out backpacking all the time.
 
It looks like the issue is going to be finding one that will work with the ACRO on it. Worst case I could get one that fits the gun and notch the top of it myself to make room for the ACRO.

On the Diamond D page, it has an option to submit a picture of the Reflex Sight mounted on your gun when purchasing the holster. It might still work with the Acro?

Justin, another quality leatherwork outfit is called Simply Rugged Holsters. They can go as plain or as fancy as you'd like. Rob Leahy and crew are great. www.simplyrugged.com.
 
I'm probably going to reach out to Francesca over at Teton Leather to see about a custom rig. I've had her make a couple of items in the past that came out amazing, including a beaver tail leather belt which she has since added as a regular item. But the BFR screams Dreadnought (elephant)...

Hell yeah man. Keep me in the loop if you do contact them. I would like to get a nice holster set up for this rig. I don't mind paying a premium because I intend to really use this gun. It will probbaly be my full time truck gun when I'm not using it for a hunt. I plan to do a lot of shooting with this one and I want to get the proper set up the first time around. I'm hoping I can snag one of them on this first batch they are releasing. I already have the dies, brass, and bullets in my cart at midway. As soon as I know I have this gun on the way I'm going to pull the trigger on that stuff.
