I am needing a good hunting holster made for my 7.5" maximum. What's everyone else using?

I use the same Guides Choice chest holster I use for SBHs and FAs. The gun fits snug but the retention strap snaps just fine.

I have a Ted Blocker version of the Longhorn Companion. Can't remember what he calls it. Fits the max very well.
The Longhorn companion uses a hammer thong that makes the extra length of the max irrelevant.
Plus it's just a great holster design overall.

Contact Doc Barranti,,, and you will not be disappointed. (Barranti Leather.) I already have a couple of Doc's shucks. They are great. I've just never used a chest rig for a long revolver. |

I much prefer carrying a long barreled hunting revolver in a chest rig over on a belt or with a sling, in a pack would be a close second to a sling.

6” barrel Dan Wesson in 357 Max always rode in a Contender chest holster, back when FIL hunted with it… at 6” I always thought about a belt rig for that one… but it’s approaching max length IMO… if I were looking at a 7.5” long cylinder gun, I think I’d go with a chest holster

I use a Barranti Northwest Hunter for a 5.5" Blackhawk to carry my JRH custom 5.3" barreled .500 JRH 1.6" and my JRH custom 5.3" barreled 500 Linebaugh Max. These have larger diameter than factory cylinders and barrels. The barrels are that length specifically to use standard gunleather. It also handles my 5.5" barreled .445 Supermag, which uses a stock Ruger .44 barrel and the cylinder the gun was born with.
