Hunting carry
I have a 5" M&P 2.0 that I would like to carry while hunting. I have been considering HPG kit bags or a chest rig like the Kenai from Gunfighters Inc. I hike in with a pack, usually have bibs, so a belt holster is not high on the probability list. Any other recommendations?

Re: Hunting carry
I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but I believe it is fine to carry any handgun you want for personal protection while hunting, just don't dispatch a wounded animal with a semi-auto.

Re: Hunting carry
I carry my glock 26 iwb even under my bibs while hunting. The only other thing I've thought about is chest rig for 357 magnum,

Re: Hunting carry
Know that, it is why I have reduced loads with plain lead bullets for my rifle. No reason to use a full power load for a final light switch moment. The equivalent of a 38 Spcl in the server room does the trick.
Hoppy, I hate IWB. I'd also use whatever I get for hiking, and that is why I was primarily looking at a kit bag.Last edited by Hersh5317; October 21st, 2022 at 09:29 PM. Reason: Clarify remark about reduced loads, apparently it is needed

Re: Hunting carry
Reduced loads for my rifle...good grief kids. Further proof that post count doesn't mean anything.

Re: Hunting carry
Yes, I realized my mistake at being vague, and clarified my statement. I didn't realize it would spark a discertation on legal vs illegal hunting firearms and means of a humane finishing shot. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
