So was just thinking about while getting a few bits for my contender,how do y'all who hunt with a hand guns carry them into the field? Especially the later ones like the super 14"  or the bolt action deals .Like y'all use a holster ? Just hold it ? Shoulder strap ? What's eveyone use ?

I like a holster on my belt. Out of the way till you need it then real handy.

a sling on the AR pistols 
 a belt holster for the Ruger Revolvers  7 1/2 inch barrels
 
 your TC is sort of in the middle , probably a chest rig or bandolier type would be best for that with optic
 
 I have actually been thinking of making a bandolier type for the RedHawk wear it under my jacket so I have my big iron if I want it but it is out of the way and it rides a little higher than my belt with the weight off my pants.

4” K-frames go in a holster on the belt. 6” N-frames go in a tanker rig or chest holster.
 
 I have a Smith 629 tgat is scoped but haven’t found a good way to carry it yet.
