Which Holster For Backpacking - 12/29/08
I decided to make my Model 19 6" my new go to backpacking gun, so I'll be in the market for a holster.
In past threads I have heard mention that many prefer a shoulder holster as opposed to a belt holster, has anyone had a problem with such a set-up with a backpack on? I'm thinking about a vertical carry model since the revolver has a 6" barrel.
Is it a pain having the pack straps so close to the revolver, either on the hike, or putting the pack on and off?
What do most prefer out on the trail, a shoulder or a belt model?
I asked this over on the "Handgun" forum also, maybe we can consolidate the replies over there.

Thank you.
