[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Hunting Holster

Posted: 7/23/2002 7:17:03 PM EDT

I like to use a Smith 629 with an 8-3/8" barrel or a Ruger Super Blackhawk with a 7-1/2" barrel for deer hunting in Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. There could be snow falling, the temperature could be near freezing, or it could be 50 degrees out and sunny.

I am looking for suggestions for rigs to hold those guns. Hip or shoulder setups would be ok. If a shoulder system, it would have to be adjustable enough to go on the outside of a hunting outfit, so the gun wouldn't be concealed.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Scoped or iron sights? The Uncle Mike's bandoleer/across-the-chest holster sounds like a good idea for bulky clothing in rugged areas if you're using a scope. I'm not saying the quality is the best, as I'm not the lying type, but this type of holster sounds like what I would use if it was my decision.

Guess I should have specified UN-scoped. I have an Uncle Mike's across-the-chest holster now for a Contender that I use for groundhogs - 14" barrel and Burris 2-7x scope. But I need something for the revolvers.

to carry my 7.5 in .44 mag Super blackhawk in the field I use the "Big Jake Crossdraw" rig from Andrew's Custom Leather. It is a western style rig, very well made, all hand made and fitted to the gun. The belt is also very well made and has loops to accomodate 20 rounds

I just got a Tucker Gunleather IWB holster and I'm really impressed with it. You can see the review here. They also make a field holster, belt holster and paddle holster for most ever revolver. Check them out at Tucker Gunleather
