Field carry for Super Blackhawk

[darkh2odiver]

I'm looking for good complete rig for my Ruger Super Blackhawk.
1st....It will be for carrying in the field and hunting.
2nd...all leather
3rd....any advice on strong side or cross draw

Thank you

Maybe a few more details?

Are you looking for a cowboy rig? Just a plain belt-holster?

If you've got anything longer than a 6" barrel, crossdraw is the ONLY way to go. Even then, wearing a 6" barreled revolver on the hip sucks.

I think I'm leaning towards a cartridge belt with cross draw holster. My Blackhawk has a 7 1/2" barrel. I'm hoping to do some hog and deer hunting. I'll be staying with open sites. Just trying to find the most comfortable rig for all day carry.

Comfort? Maybe take a look at a chest type holster.

I carried my 8-3/8" S&W 29 hunting a few times last year. Strong side belt holster carry sucked, especially trying to sit down! I ended up using a shoulder holster that I had and was much happier.

Not leather, but the Blackhawk Nylon chest holster worked for me while walking and hunting from a hunting seat. Could have use a strap around my back to keep it from bouncing while travelling over rough ground.

forgot to add that my 6 1/2" Blackhawk has a Millet red dot on it that severely limits the choices for a holster unless one wanted to wait on a custom holster......
