A little bit of back-story: My son and I are going to go camp at a ghost town in the Nevada foothills / mountains (up at about 7,000 feet), northwest of the Faultless Test Site. (I learned a couple of years ago that I have quite a bit of family history with the area.)
Spoke with a local Sheriff and he said that although there aren't a lot of critters in the area, we should pack a couple of magnum pistols with us in the case of a mountain lion (although he did say they tend to stay to more forested regions). We were planning on taking a couple of magnum pistols (and quite a few more firearms) with us anyways.
But the question is: In the case of an emergency, what sort of holster is best? I was thinking a chest / hunting holster as it allows for quick draw and easy carrying for a larger pistol. Is there something better?
If you are hiking/backpacking then the likely hood is that your belt/waistline will be occupied by the backpack waist belt. You need a holster that will move the firearm off your belt line. I would look for a chest rig that you can make work with your backpack. If you are in the habit of taking off your back pack to do shorter scouting/exploring walks you will not want to drop your firearm with the ppack. Then you might want to consider a drop leg holster that will lower it below the backpack strap.
