Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Best way to carry pistol?

I have recently started buying and modifying US military M3s both the 1911 ones and the Victory ones for revolvers. They are easy to modify for various handguns.

The pic below was taken hastily that's why the bino chest pouch is so low. Normally, it is "cinched" up so it is worn high on the chest. The M3 holster goes on next and is worn low on the side. The backpack goes on after that and I attach the belt loop for the holster to the backpack belt loop. If I need to take off the back backpack, one snap and a tug and the holster is free from the backpack. None of the straps interfere with each other during use.



You can get those M3s for about $25 delivered. Here is 1911 M3 modified for a Ruger BH with a reflex sight.
