Marsupial Bino Harness Pistol Holster - Safety

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

I’m done hunting with people that wear this holster. Twice this year I’ve found myself staring down a barrel. Guy the other day said, “don’t worry the safety is on”

What a ridiculous design.

I wore a kydex chest holster under my bino harness while in grizzly country this season. I carry a Glock though. Sounds like these yahoos you speak of were carrying Sigs! That would concern me to!

Yeah I have one and have been thinking about getting something different , what do you prefer ?

I agreed with this sentiment regarding MG's bottom mount holster. Like you, I'm not going to tolerate anyone "lazering" me with a loaded firearm. If you are that concerned about hunting in dangerous bear country, carry the pistol pointed toward the ground. With an AD, you might shoot yourself in the leg but while you're bleeding out, you can take comfort you didn't take someone else's life.

Ivory on the pack belt.

I understand a bino harness holster is desired as you’re not always wearing the pack, but choosing an unsafe holster is not a good solution.

Not sure what the other guy was carrying, but the guy this weekend was carrying a 1911, round in the chamber, hammer cocked.

I don’t care what brand it is. I don’t want it pointed at me.

My buddy has one of these holsters, I’m less concerned with the direction it’s pointed than I am with with soft material and any gaps that could let a stick get into the trigger guard. Seems very dangerous when going through thick brush and Id think a proper fitting kydex holster would protect the trigger much better.

Not a fan of cloth holsters, if anyone is going to use one at least double up with a kydex trigger holster.

I use a hillpeople gear chest pack with the integrated holster pocket and a kydex trigger guard which places the handgun horizontally across my chest but I hunt by myself. If I was with a group I would probably just run a kydex holster on my waist.

As for carrying the 1911 cocked and locked it’s actually probably one of the safest handguns to ever be produced and this is the recommended way to carry it. Even if the manual safety accidentally disengages you still need to depress the grip safety in order for it to fire. Searching the internet you really don’t find any evidence of these guns ever misfiring other than incidents of user error.
