Montana MuSINGS Outdoorsman Hip Holster

The Timeless Appeal of a Classic 44 Mag Revolver and the Perfect Hip Holster

There’s a certain feeling you get when strapping on a classic, well-oiled leather hip holster carrying a formidable single-action revolver. It’s a connection to history, a nod to rugged tradition, and a comforting weight that speaks of capability in the backcountry.

If you’re anything like us, you appreciate that feeling. And that's exactly why we were excited to check out the latest piece of gear reviewed by our friend Steve over at Montana MuSINGS Outdoors on YouTube: an Outdoorsman Hip Holster specifically designed for his 4 5/8" Ruger Super Blackhawk in the quintessential 44 Magnum.

Why the Outdoorsman Hip Holster?

In the world of open carry, there are many options: chest rigs, shoulder holsters, and various belt attachments. But for many, the hip holster remains the gold standard, especially for hunting and general outdoor use.

1. Accessibility and Speed: Drawing from the hip is a natural, fast motion. Whether you’re protecting yourself from a predator or needing to secure your firearm quickly, the intuitive position of a good hip holster is hard to beat.

2. Comfort on the Trail: For a large-frame revolver like the Super Blackhawk, a properly designed hip holster distributes the weight comfortably across your hip, making long hikes manageable. Steve's choice of the Outdoorsman holster appears to offer that perfect balance of retention and carry comfort.

3. Aesthetics: Let's be honest. Nothing complements a beautiful, blued-steel or stainless-steel single-action revolver quite like a handcrafted leather hip holster. It’s a piece of gear that has both form and function.

Spotlight: The Outdoorsman Hip Holster for the Super Blackhawk

Steve’s video gives a great up-close look at the quality and fit of this particular holster. The Ruger Super Blackhawk is a legendary revolver, known for its powerful 44 Magnum chambering and robust build. It demands a holster that can handle its weight and size while providing secure retention.

The video showcases the holster’s construction—presumably heavy-duty leather, often preferred for its durability and moldable nature, which ensures a perfect, custom-like fit for the 4 5/8" barrel length.

Pro Tip: When choosing any hip holster, pay close attention to the sight channel (the groove that protects your front sight) and the retention strap (if present). For a big-bore revolver carried in brush, these features are crucial for reliability and firearm protection.
