Carrying while hunting- holster choice

[ExFlyinguy]

So the last few years I've been trying my hand at hunting (just for buck season). My reality was that when or if I chose to carry my pistol that there was simply no easy way of getting to it with the layers of clothing that I wore so for the most part I didn't carry while out and about.

Yesterday while surfing the web I came across a chest rig that after some consideration, I have opted to order and give a try. Looks like it would serve great for back packing and related activities.

HPG makes a nice rig especially if you want to conceal it, at the time I looked into them it didn't include an internal holster however Contact Concealment makes one called the HPG. I ordered one for my wife's CC bag and it works good.

When I started carrying a revolver for hunting I opted for a Kydex chest rig from GunfightersINC which I like very much.

My S&W 686 6inch barrel has been carried in a DeSantis Cross Draw Holster for over 20 years,it can also be carried strong arm but find climbing my tree stand is better in the cross draw position !

About a year or so ago I was in Wawa in Fort Washington with the morning going-to-the-office coffee crowd when I saw the customer across from me wearing an un-tooled version of essentially this rig, with a modern hand cannon, worn over a camo fleece:

This would be the one for me. I have wanted one of these for a long time.

I have to pick up a Diamond D Guides Choice chest holster yet for my Redhawk. I already have their hip holster. The Guides Choice is very popular in Alaska and places where they carry in case of big brown ones.

Yup nothing is cheap these days especially if it's gun related and made America.

The Desantis crssdraw cost me $35 20 years ago and they list it now for $58 !

If we're talking about a protection piece, I just carry a j frame or sp101 in a nemesis holster (pocket carry) when I'm hunting. I have a rifle, so I don't see a need to carry another
heavy gun. YMMV
