Get a little training and shooting someone in camp will never happen. Wtf must be from ABQ.If I carried I would use a holster that attached to the hip belt of my pack. Slide it off and attach to a belt or pants when not wearing a pack. I’ve never carried once while hunting though. I don’t hunt where there are grizz either and people don’t worry me. The last thing I want to do is shoot and kill someone at elk camp. That would open a whole can of worms.
I carry my Nalgene bottle, cnoc bag and filter mine too.P.S. I’ll find and filter water.
Yeap my thoughts exactly.I also have a Marsupial bino harness with the handgun holster underneath. I do see your point Jbxl20 about having to slip on the bino harness for trips out of the tent at night. Perhaps a holster that clips to the belt line would be a handy addition to my gear.
I don't carry in the backcountry, but I'll stick someone with my Leatherman in their face and spider monkey the $hit out of them if it comes down to it.
I carry a full-size s&w 10mm in a recon kit bag plus binos and other small equip in it. I love this bag.G20 or G19 in Hill People Gear original kit bag.
^this^Kenai chest holster has been the answer for me. Super comfortable and readily accessible. It’s been so comfortable that I pretty much only take it off to sleep. Use it with/under bino harness and pack without issue. Season after season in nasty brush and have never had a retention issue.
Why is it a pain the ass for you to carry? Why would you carry to look cool? 18 oz isn't a deal breaker for me. I am a weight Nazi too. Some of you in here carry a sleeping bag 3 times the weight of this set up.That's kind of my way of thinking, too. No reason to unnecessarily carry extra weight and go through the whole pain in the ass of carrying, just to look cool and be included among the glitterati.
The idea about having it on my pack hip belt just seems like it would be a cumbersome and a pain. It would all depend on the situation I guess. I don't take my bino harness off much till I'm at camp. I take my pack off a lot when I glass or take a break. Just my thinking anyways. Nice elk by the way!I attached my 9MM holster to PALS webbing on hip belt of my Kifaru...easy/quick access and don't really feel extra weight when it's on your hip.
