Hunting rigs...how do you tote them into the fields?

I'm waiting around in a tree this morning. I've only seen squirrels so I thought I would post an updated picture of my rig.

[Low Budget Shooter]

djones, that looks good.

Crossdraw works both afoot and on horseback.

I've done a lot of horse breaking and riding when I was younger but never did much shooting off their back.

Yep, chest rig. Have carried everything from a 14" bbl scoped Contender to a PPK clone in chest rigs. Comfortable and relatively easy to get to.

Simply Rugged has some great selections (and prices). I usually make my own but I have to think twice when I look at their stuff, especially the cost of leather these days.

Hip holsters on a fanny pack. I use belt keepers from an old Sam Browne belt you can get at any police supply store or catalog.I have a Bianci X-15 shoulder holster but find it too hard to get to in colder weather.

I'm a plus-size fellow, and I've had good luck with old duty holsters that drop the gun slightly away from the body around 3 o'clock (9 if you are lefty). I find this doesn't interfere with my tree-stand harness as much as the chest rigs

When I'm actually hunting, the pistol stays in my hands; when dragging (a deer), or climbing, the best rig,I've found is the Bianchi 4100/4101 Ranger H.U.S.H. (HUnting Shoulder Holster) ballistic-weave Cordua Nylon cross-chest bandolier.

(The 4100 is for unscoped pistols; the 4101 fits scoped pistols - there are several models of both, to fit various guns & bbl lengths)

It's silent, (leather creaks at inoportune moments), and is available for both scoped & unscoped handguns, with a retention strap and/or a holster flap.

I use the same Bianchi chest holster that Pietro does. It does add quite a bit of bulk up front with a 9 1/2" scoped super redhawk so when I'm stand hunting I sometimes dispense with it and carry the revolver in my pack then keep it in had while hunting.

For my 10"/14" TC Contender I use a Uncle Mikes shoulder holster. All my other (numberous) shorter guns go on the belt with a OWB holster at the 4 oclock position.

I use all sorts. Handgun hunting usually involves large, sometimes scoped handguns. Those ride in chest holsters. Uncle Mikes, HUSH, T/C, FA. Use them all. Smaller revolvers ride in crossdraws. My go to carry gun while rifle hunting is a .32 H&R single six. Anything with a short barrel rides thefe nicely. 1911s & SAAs tend to ride in strong side belt holsters. There is no one right way for me. Kind of like tools ride in different parts of a tool pouch

+1 for Wes Daems at 7x leather. Great service and product. Don't even feel my revolver on me.

Ok, I'll throw in a different maker & thoughts.

Doc Barranti makes one of the most comfortable, easy to wear rigs out there for bigger guns that I've ever tried. I own several T/C Contenders, Super Redhawks, Redhawks, Freedom Arms, & Ruger SA's.
Doc's "Northwest Hunters" rig is the best by far. These are custom rigs & not cheap, but they are top quality & will make you smile when you wear one.

I hunt long & hard with a handgun a lot. So far, it's been the best I've worn.

[Geezer in NH]

I will vote cross front shoulder myself. Fat and been there dude, I hate when my gun belt slides down past my hips. Almost at weight when I can use a gun belt (thank you diabetes) That by they way is the only benefit of the diabetes.

How does she draw it left handed?

I have stared at this picture for a long time and can to the conclusion......it doesn't matter!!

[Fergie]

The story that I read(told be Wes), was that his wife(in the pic) was in the pose to try and get decent muzzle flash picture. It was also to demonstrate that his rigs can fit petite frames, and XXXXL frames.
