Thigh rigs are great as long as no long distance movement is involved. I personally have found that on longer hikes they can be irritating and a nuisance. Fast on the draw though with a little practice. Another option is a drop or low ride holster. Rides on the belt but is "dropped" out of elbow range. YMMV of course.
Opinions on Thigh / Drop-leg Holsters
Something Ive noticed since I bought my gun is that there appears to be a resentment towards thigh holsters.
I bought my pistol primarily as a hunting sidearm. My experience with revolvers in belt holsters was that the holster always in the way and i would strike the weapon with my elbow when walking. It was unconfortable and, personally, I couldnt reach the gun easily.
I bought a UTG thigh holster; adjustable with quick connect. After some minor adjustments, it holds the gun firmly and securely and well out of elbow range. Also, the holster does not ride or shift positions when walking and is fairly comfortable to wear. And with a little practice, I have been able to quickly draw the gun and put it on target.
Is it just my imagination or is there some resistance to using drop-leg holsters. Personally, I prefer them to belt-rigs.
