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 use a holster but my hunting record with a handgun is a big fat zero.

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

I would lean towards a chest rig unless you're using a small rifle like 330nhad there

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.
