The Cole-TAC Varmint Wrangler is a chest holster built around one job: carrying a suppressed .22 pistol where a hip rig won't work. It fits most common rimfire suppressor hosts with cans attached, including the Ruger MK series, Smith & Wesson M&P22, Browning Buck Mark, and the Taurus TX22. That makes it a working tool for ranchers, farmers, varmint hunters, and anyone who spends the day moving on foot or in a side-by-side and needs a quiet .22 within reach. The harness keeps the weight off your belt and the muzzle pointed down, which matters when you're carrying a host that's a foot longer than the bare pistol.
Cole-TAC builds the Varmint Wrangler from a nylon and polymer blend that stays light at roughly 0.25 lbs and shrugs off weather in the field. The overall package measures 5.25 x 2 x 14.5 inches to accommodate the extra length a suppressor adds up front. Retention is adjustable, so the rig can be tuned to hold a stubby integrally-suppressed setup or a longer threaded can without slop. An integrated magazine pouch rides alongside the holster body, keeping a spare 10- or 25-round magazine on the same platform instead of buried in a pocket. The adjustable harness distributes load across the shoulders and is sized for layered clothing, from a t-shirt in summer to a hunting jacket in cold weather. Cole-TAC backs it with a lifetime warranty.
Reach for the Varmint Wrangler when you're walking fence lines, clearing pests around outbuildings, or running a trapline and want a suppressed .22 ready without a sling tying up the gun. The chest position keeps the muzzle and can clear of brush and clear of your legs when you sit or kneel. If you're outfitting a kit around a suppressed rimfire, browse our full range of chest holsters and dedicated .22 holsters, or pair this rig with the Cole-TAC suppressor covers and Can Caddy for storing your cans between outings.
It fits most common .22LR suppressor hosts with their suppressors attached, including the Ruger MK series, Smith & Wesson M&P22, Browning Buck Mark, and Taurus TX22. The extra length built into the 14.5-inch body is what lets it carry a host with a can mounted up front.
Yes. The Varmint Wrangler is designed specifically to carry a .22 pistol with the suppressor attached, so there's no need to break the can off your host between uses. The retention adjusts to hold longer threaded cans or shorter integral setups.
It does. An integrated magazine pouch rides on the holster platform, keeping a spare rimfire magazine on the same rig instead of in a pocket. That keeps reloads with the gun when you're working away from a truck or bag.
The Varmint Wrangler uses an adjustable shoulder harness for chest carry. That position keeps the muzzle and suppressor clear of brush and your legs, and shifts the weight off your belt, which is useful given the added length of a suppressed host.
Cole-TAC builds the Varmint Wrangler in Rapid City, South Dakota, and backs it with a lifetime warranty per manufacturer specifications.
