How do You Carry Big Revolvers?

I have been carrying my 7.5" redhawk weak side in an uncle Mike's nylon holster, butt forward. Kinda poor man's crossdraw. Don't really like it that much, but it's more comfortable for in and out of the truck or chair than a shoulder rig. I am in the market for a high quality strong side holster though.

Many. Hiking is really the only exercise I do and we go out at least once a week. Its actually quite comfortable. The wide belt helps spread the load and it hugs the leg pretty good. I really dont notice its there after a while.
When carrying a rifle and walking I prefer an El Paso crossdraw. When riding a 4 wheeler knocking around the club property I carry strongside a model 629 4 inch in a Cyclone 100 holster most times.
When sitting in a stand, I like the el Paso tanker with the 629. I also sometimes use the tanker holster when on the 4 wheeler. This is a very comfortable holster and fits me very well.

I occasionally hike in areas with grizzly and moose. I carry my Ruger Redhawk in .44 Mag in an Idaho Leather 41D-1 shoulder holster.

Both the Bianchi Cyclone and Galco Phoenix are dual position holsters that can worn strong side or cross draw. Typically the Cyclone sells for around $80 and the Galco $130.

shoulder hoster for silhouette revolvers .
I had a custom chest holster made of kydex for my 7.5" stainless Redhawk Hunter. It's modeled after the Kenai chest holster. $150 for the Kenai holster on Amazon. $40 for mine. Big revolvers put too much pressure on my hips for long hikes in the woods.

Chest rig, sometimes known as a "tanker" or "hunter" rig. The gun rides high at an angle over your sternum. You can sit, bend, run, climb, thread through brush, etc. without snagging the gun on anything. Works with overalls or hip waders.
Looks strange, but very practical.

Does the tanker style holster work out pretty well for you? I recently won a bid on GunBroker for a Ruger Police Service Six with a four inch barrel and have been considering one of these for "woods" bumming.

On my own acreage, I normally carry a wheel gun; either a 6" barreled .357 Mag or a 2" barreled in the same chambering, depending on what I'm doing. The former is carried in a black leather holster, the latter in a pancake holster. Both strong side.

Yes pretty good. If you dont have one with a wrap-around-the-body strap they can be a little floppy, but not bad once everything is adjusted.

I use to have a Redhawk .44 Magnum that was a perfect fit in a British WWII khaki web holster made for a Webley Mk.VI with a 6" barrel.
