Carrying "N-Frame" sixguns

Tom,
If you prefer a pancake style holster, Simply Rugged makes an excellent version specifically for large frame revolvers.  Here is my Ruger Blackhawk .44 Spl in a Simply Rugged Sourdough pancake:
 

 

Wes,
thank you so much,  I didn't even have an idea that there is a company producing pancake holsters for single action wheelguns.  I like single actions very well because of their sleek design and their outstanding balance (IMO) .  Perhaps my new .44 Mag will be a Ruger or ( when bringing a heavy purse) a Freedom Arms.
Have a nice day

Tom

Simply rugged has a spotless reputation around here and is also one of our supporters for our Elmer Keith Shoot, and builds some damn nice holsters to boot.

When I go hog hunting in South Texas I carry my Model 29 in  a shoulder holster. I find it keeps the pistol out of the way and the sholuler holster disperses the weight quite nicely.

We want details!
Thanks--

Good to have you aboard. If you need any help, let me know.

I'd love to try one of these for my 5 inch 629 and my 3.75 inch Vaquero.

Looks like a great system.  Wish they were a bit cheaper.

I bought a Guides Choice shoulder holster from Diamon Custom about six months ago.  I carry a S&W 629 with a 4 inch barrel in it.  The revolver fits great and the holster is well made.  I am a big guy, 6' 3", 370 lbs and have a large mid-section (hence the fatcpa moniker) and have a problem with belt holsters.  I wear suspenders and rarely wear a belt.  The Guides Choice holster puts the gun in the middle of your chest, or lower if you like.  It holds the gun well, so bending over and having the gun fall out isn't a problem.  As far as TomHunter's concealment problem, the Guide's Choice would work if a coat or some other cover garment was worn.  There is a definite bulge where the gun sits, so a loose fitting jacket/coat would be necessary for concealment.  I love the work of the gunleather wizards on this site, but unfortunately one size does not fit all.

I was about to recommend The Wilderness Safe Packer holster.  They are very discrete and well made.  I carried a 10mm GLOCK in one of these all over Yellowstone and Glacier NPs without even a funny look from rangers or other visitors.  But I see they only accept a barrel length of 4 inches for large framed revolvers.  The 629 Mountain gun would be a nice fit.  Check them out.  If you decide to go with one, you will not be disappointed.

By the way, I have a 629 5" Classic and I carry it in the Bianchi 5BHL.  It is made specifically for the 5" barreled S&W.  It is well made and very secure.

Hello everybody out there,

I am so sorry not to have answered to your postings earlier but my computer crashed by lightning.

Many thanks for your recommendations.

I find the mighty computer often harder to use and maintain than my guns. Chris S

Good morning Chris ,
you are so right, maintaining my guns to me is more or less relaxing - I'll never manage to really understand what computers do. I think they should be helpful accessories to our life - but not

"the boss".
 Handling my .44 Special is much more fun, no doubt....
