[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1327253, member: 1656"] I'm a believer in light backups when backpack hunting. I have a Taurus Titanium 41Mag and a SW 329PD (44). I have BladeTech paddle holsters for both. Due to the big cylinders I find the maximum retention inadequate, so I use a couple layers from a gallon milk jug plastic to increase the "squeeze" to hold the pistol. You can shake the holster upside down and the gun is retained, but it can be pulled without an issue. When backpacking I can snap the paddle holster over the waist band of the pack. If I drop the pack, the holster is easily transferred onto my waist. I have no use for heavier guns requiring shoulder rigs, and find shoulder rigs to often interfere with packs. Hunting partners using both heavier steel guns and shoulder rigs have routinely left the backup gun in the truck the first time we go back to it. [/QUOTE]
