- Why Bulletproof Zone?
The Viking Tactics Big Rig Gen II Auto Holster is a chest-carry holster designed for shooters who run a pistol with a frame-mounted light, a Mini Red Dot Sight (MRDS), or both simultaneously. Adjusting slots and Velcro keepers let the same holster fit a bare pistol, a light-only setup, an MRDS-only setup, or a fully loaded pistol with both a light and optic. Available in Black or Coyote, in right- and left-hand configurations.
Built for Optic and Light-Ready Pistols
The Big Rig Gen II Auto Holster is sized and shaped to accept pistols equipped with frame-mounted lights including the SureFire X300 and Streamlight TLR-1, as well as pistols fitted with a Mini Red Dot Sight. Because the holster uses adjusting slots rather than a fixed retention shell, a shooter does not need a separate holster for each pistol configuration. A few simple adjustments shift the fit from a slick pistol to a fully equipped one, protecting the investment in a single holster across multiple setups.
Adjustable Fit Across Conditions
The Big Rig Gen II is designed to ride over cold-weather gear when layers add bulk, and can be cinched down for minimal-profile carry in warmer conditions. The chest-carry position keeps the pistol accessible during activities where a hip holster would be blocked or uncomfortable, including ATV and snowmobile riding, horseback, and backcountry hunting. The rig is positioned so it does not conflict with a backpack harness or belt-mounted accessory pouches.
Versatile Carry for Active Use
Chest carry keeps the pistol within reach during movement without requiring the wearer to clear a jacket hem or unthread a belt. The Velcro keepers hold the holster body in position while still allowing the quick adjustments the Gen II is built around. For anyone who regularly switches between pistol configurations, or who needs a holster that works across seasons and activities, the Big Rig Gen II is designed to stay useful rather than becoming a single-purpose item.
Features
- Multi-configuration fit: adjusting slots and Velcro keepers accommodate a bare pistol, frame-mounted light (SureFire X300, Streamlight TLR-1), MRDS, or light and MRDS combined
- Chest-carry design: positions the pistol for access during ATV, snowmobile, horseback, and hunting use without interfering with backpack or belt pouches
- Cold-weather adjustability: expands to fit over layered gear; cinches down for minimalist carry
- Right- and left-hand versions: available in both orientations
- Made in America: manufactured in the USA

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Big Rig Gen II suits shooters who carry a pistol in the field during activities where hip carry is impractical, including ATV and snowmobile riding, horseback, and hunting. It is particularly well matched to anyone running a light, an MRDS, or both on their pistol and who wants one holster that adapts to each configuration without additional hardware.
The Big Rig Gen II is a chest holster and is not designed for concealed carry or duty belt use. It is not a ballistic or protective product and carries no protection rating. Buyers who need a hip, appendix, or drop-leg holster should look at other options.
Common Questions
Will the Big Rig Gen II fit my pistol if I run both a light and a red dot?
Yes. The Viking Tactics Big Rig Gen II Auto Holster is specifically designed to accommodate a pistol equipped with both a frame-mounted light and a Mini Red Dot Sight simultaneously. The adjusting slots and Velcro keepers allow the holster body to be repositioned to fit that combination, as well as a bare pistol or either accessory alone.
Which frame-mounted lights does the Big Rig Gen II accept?
The Big Rig Gen II Auto Holster fits pistols with the SureFire X300 and Streamlight TLR-1, and is described as compatible with small frame-mounted lights generally. Fit with larger or non-standard lights is not confirmed for this holster.
Can this holster be worn over heavy winter clothing?
Yes. The Viking Tactics Big Rig Gen II is designed to adjust outward to fit over cold-weather layering and can be cinched down for a closer fit in warmer conditions. This range of adjustment is one of the holster's primary design goals, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.
Will the Big Rig Gen II conflict with a backpack or belt pouches?
No. The Big Rig Gen II chest holster is positioned to avoid interference with a backpack harness and belt-mounted accessory pouches. This makes it practical for field use where a full kit, including a pack and belt rig, is worn simultaneously.
Can this holster ship to my state?
The Viking Tactics Big Rig Gen II Auto Holster is a chest holster and is not classified as body armor, so state body armor shipping restrictions do not apply. No state-specific shipping restrictions are identified for this product. Contact us if you have questions about your order.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

- Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
- The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
- The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
- Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.
To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
