Description
The EMG rig was purpose-built for hunters needing a way to carry a sidearm on the outside of their pack belt. Like our Monarch holster, the EMG is crafted with an 80/20 split design placing the flattest half of the holster toward the body and making it extremely comfortable to carry all day. It sports a natural curve that contours to the hip/belt serving to relieve inward torque. The mold injected clips mount securely to your pack belt and provide excellent stability so your sidearm isn’t excessively rocking back and forth. We extend the sweat guard up both sides of the firearm to protect it while moving through thick cover, and each EMG rig is set with a forward cant so your firearm naturally “presents” itself to your draw hand. Like all of our pistol holsters, the EMG features an adjustable retention system that balances a smooth draw stroke, while ensuring that your weapon stays secure when moving through rough country or taking off your pack. The EMG sports a closed muzzle design (or crowned on larger models) helping to keep your barrel free from debris and snow. Lastly, every Ivory EMG is infused with Irish whiskey and has been blessed by the spirit of Fred Bear to ensure peak hunting performance.

I just got back from Colorado Elk hunt using the EXO K3 with this holster. I had my FN 510 with a 15rd mag and vortex defender red dot, when taking off my pack I would put it down and the hip belts would flip back outwards and the would hit everything from sharp rock, gravel, concrete, dirt, mud and so on. This holster took every impact and protected my gun, there were times I thought for sure my gun would be beat to hell but nope it still looks new. Not only did it protect the gun but it held it tight not letting it slip out even when falling while side hilling.

I purchased a EMG holster for my Exo K4. The holster fits perfectly both on the pack and my pistol. The attention to detail and workmanship is spot on. Highly recommend this holster!

This holster was hand forged by my brother-in-Christ and American patriot, and the bear I encountered in the backcountry wished it never heard my pistol leaving the EMG Pack Holster.
This holster is no mere pack candy, meant to be admired by lesser outdoorsmen who only seek to adorn themselves with the best of “tacticool.” Nay! Beyond its carefully handcrafted lines and rugged frame, stands the king of all holsters!
If it wasn’t for this holster, I would not have been able to withstand the bear’s sudden charge. Because of this holster, I was able to brandish my Glock 29 and defeat the beast who bore its claws and fangs.
This holster is both a sword and shield for every intrepid outdoorsman.
Ivory Holsters stands squarely in the vanguard between life and death, protecting those under its care.
BE NOT AFRAID! Ora pro nobis.

Worth every penny! Just received my EMG holster for my S&W M&P 40c. It fits like a glove. Unlike my other pack holster, this one is closed at the bottom, so I won’t be carrying around a sidearm full of fern pollen from the forests of the PNW. The EMG has the perfect amount of retention to keep it secured in the holster but doesn’t restrict my draw. This holster is also a perfect compliment to my EXO K3 pack. Looking forward using it on my next elk hunt.

I’ve had this holster for about 2 years and I’ve taken it through thick and thin. It’s been on my side through scrub brush, rain forests, dusty mountain slopes, in tree stand harnesses and on backpack belts. It holds a Glock 20 securely, with a clean draw. I’ve never had the gun come loose but it’s always easy to pull. I chose this holster above others on the market because of the extra coverage and protection it gives to the gun when going through the rough stuff. It also holds the gun nice and close to the hip which is a big plus for me. I had a lot of questions before purchasing and the owner proved to be a great guy to work with.

Awesome holster. Researched a bunch of holsters to try and find one for my mystery ranch selway 60 backpack. This holster is just what I wanted. Fits the Molle webbing on the waistband of my pack nicely with the clips that come with it. No need to order any other clip. Contour of the holster pulls it tight against the pack. Retention is adjustable and great. Holster seems durable and strong. Like that I could take the holster off my back pack and wear it IWB if needed. Customer service here is the wonderful. Would definitely recommend this holster.

I just got this today. I have to say, the website does not do this holster justice. Perfect fit on my Glock 22, superior feel of quality and some really unique loops that made adding this to my Exo Mountain Gear pack a cinch. Icing on the cake, I selected the wrong holster when I initially purchased, but the customer service was top notch. They made it right, and quick. I definitely recommend Ivory Holsters.

New to hunting and backpacking. Researched long and hard and found this, one reason I purchased an exo pack is I can have this as my holster. It is a quality holster and fits my xdm 10mm perfect. It also fit well on the pack so it will not be loose or fall off. Overall a great holster and recommend to anyone looking for one with their pack. I plan on getting another one for a different gun as well. I also like how I’ve called to ask questions and get great customer service and feel valued buying this product.

Absolutely love the holster! Fits my Glock 20 to a tee and feels so great on my side that you hardly even realize it’s there. Weapon holds very securely in the holster and contours to your side very well. Also being infused with Irish whiskey and blessed by the spirit of Fred Bear is sure to make this years elk hunt a great success. Gonna order another for my CZ 9mm. Thanks for an excellent product.

The EMG holster works awesome! Fits on the pack and is comfortable to wear all day long. Better than a regular holster because the weight of the gun is supported by the pack belt! Ivory Holsters even was able to cut it for my RMR. Great company and great product!

This EMG holster worked perfectly. I have a exo 3500 with a medium belt. Was able to got the EMG holster on the belt an still managed to leave the hip pouch attached also. We went on a 5 day elk hunt in Idaho. Sits close to the back belt but still very easy to draw and doesn’t sag the belt when I took my pack off. The sweat guards on both sides of the holster helps to protect the slide from scratching an sap. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting to take a pistol/revolver backpacking.
