Carrying handgun while in saddle

[SNIPERBBB]

I use a sneaky pete holster on my tactical belt(rigger belt). This belt sits over top of the saddle

I have a Shield 9mm. I have a Sticky holster that I can use IWB and then put in my pack. I do like idea of a chest pouch/holster.

Pocket carry cargo pocket here too...

When I hunt, I usually bring a handgun with me, which is allowed here in SC. I normally carry IWB or OWB. I realized carrying this way would be near impossible in a saddle. How are others carrying while in a saddle that don't get in the way?

I use a Turkey vest for my pack and the pistol fits nicely in front right pocket of the vest.

Has anyone used the Kifaru Steelhead chest rig? It looks like a nice option and I’m thinking I can ditch the dump pouches and have my tether and gear strap in it, while also carrying a pistol. It does look a little bulky though.

Pocket carry in a cargo pocket of my pants, making sure the leg straps aren’t in the way. There are no dangerous animals where I hunt so I don’t feel the need to pack a big gun

Same and put it in my pack immediately before ascending tree.

Chest rig for my S & W M&P 2.0 Compact in .40 cal. Have thought about trying a drop leg rig to diminish banging around between the rig and my binos on a Vortex harness

Chest rig or one of the mollie attachment carry’s work real well. My friend carry’s his OWB to the tree and then stores it in his pack from the climb up until he climbs down.

It looks like Hill People Gear has a bino harness that goes on the Pals of their recon chest rigs. If you’re wanting to keep a chest rig.

I’m using a molle adapter with my Blackhawk Serpa, M&P 40. Just like any other carry, it really depends on the gun. On my Thanksgiving trip to Ga, I realized an hour down the road that I forgot my pistol. So I carried my wife’s Sig P365 in an standard IWB holster, clipped to the saddle waist belt.

I installed a bladetech tek lok to attach to the molle on my saddle. On the tek lok I have a safariland QLS
plate screwed to it. The holes match up to pair with the qls. If you go this route use a zip tie to keep the
tek lok from opening. Even it it opens its fine & can't fall, but still a pain in the rear trying to get that little
top clip locked back over while your wearing it loaded with a hog stopper. Holster & teklok fits super tight
in the molle & there's zero slipping around. I can run with it on the saddle just the same as on a tight belt.
Who am I kidding. I can jog with it! I aint running anywhere. No bouncing. Stays put when I need it on the
draw. No up & down slop as long as I have my saddle tight.

I’m also AIWB all the time. I took me a couple of years after I first got my CCHP to figure out what worked for me. I went through 5 handguns and who knows how many holsters before I found the best solution for me, which is something that I will actually carry all the time. I can climb, hunt, rappel, hike, drive, ride my bike etc without having to change my holster or routine.

Which AIWB holster do you use? Also, do you wear a belt & holster under your saddle or just attach it to the saddle belt? For whatever reason when I where a belt under my saddle it ends up constantly getting pushed down by the saddle belt.

Get the Helicon Tex one. It’s better suited for this. I ran it all last year. It’s less expensive. It will easily fit everything you need plus once in your saddle anything you need to get is right there in your workspace so movement is minimal.
