A robust, typically leather or nylon carrying system designed specifically for the large-framed Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan revolver, this equipment facilitates concealed or open carry on the shoulder. It generally comprises a harness that distributes the firearm’s weight across the back and chest, a holster secured under the arm, and retention straps to secure the weapon. Variations exist to accommodate right or left-handed users and may include additional pouches for ammunition or accessories.
This type of carry system provides quick access to a powerful sidearm often chosen for protection against wildlife in remote areas. Distributing the weight across the torso enhances comfort, particularly during extended periods of wear, making it suitable for activities like hunting or hiking. The specialized design ensures a secure and stable fit for the Alaskan’s considerable size and weight, minimizing movement and maximizing user safety. This specialized equipment’s development reflects the growing popularity of large-caliber revolvers for backcountry use and the need for practical carrying solutions.
