Sidearm holster

[blacksheep]

I'm looking for ideas on how and where to carry a back pistol. Belt,thigh rig or something else.

What kind of pack do you have? If you have one with a belt on it that’s a good spot for a holster. Or are you looking just for everyday carry?

If you daily carry a CCW, I would stick as close to that position as possible. Muscle memory is what is going to draw that weapon.

IWB is probably not going to be an option, packs won't ride well.

I have a Kydex holster with no safety strap. It snaps into place. That i at my 4 o'clock on my pack. It is secured by a harness made for MOLLE gear to the pack.

I feel a thigh carry will be too low with a pack on, throw you off balance. Again, if you dont' carry there normally, you'll prob be slow on the draw.

I carry almost everyday. I'm a righty and I draw from the 4 o'clock position also. I sling my rifle over my right shoulder and the stock is in the same position as my pistol.

My vote is for somewhere on the belt or chest if that isn't possible. From my time in the Army I HATE drop legs....annoying, always rubbed, weird for drawing purposes to me.

I use a crossdraw on the pack strap. Its easier for me to reach and I can sling my rifle more comfortably

Drop leg.

since I have a bino harness in the way on my chest, I carry on the hip on a separate belt that hangs just below my pack belt.
Still not perfect but best I found so far

This Blackhawk special operations holster is what I currently use. Not a fast draw, but it gets the gun low enough to get out of the way of your belt without being a typical "drop down" and swinging around down by the knee. Nutnfancy has a good review of it if you can stand him.

Big fan of Safarlilands ALS system. You can almost certainly find multiple ways to carry using a single holster.

If you like a bino harness, the Nosegunner from Eberlestock has a holster built in to the back.

I use a shoulder holster. Carry my full size 45 or a pint size 40 with a pack no problem.

Mystery Ranch has a holster that will attach to there bino pack

 

[sschultz]

And it kinda looks like it will work with my Vortex bino pack to

Yep, MR has this: https://www.blackovis.com/mystery-ranch-quick-draw-holster (or a semi auto version too) Works great.
