Hi guys. New to the site and new to TC Encores. Just wondered what holsters you guys use for hunting. I have a scoped 15" barrel. Any suggestions on type & brand is appreciated. Thanks

I find better designed nylon (many camo patterns) on an unmentionable auction sight at VERY NICE prices. I got one a while ago that carries my 16" contender with scope quite nicely. Cliff climbing and tree climbing it's nice to have both hands free and your gun not swinging all over hell banging into crap as with using a sling. I personally prefer a front carry as opposed to a bandolier type where you have to draw over your shoulder. That's too much and awkward a movement to suit me. NO ONE makes a good harness system, so I designed my own back in the early 80's and it really works well. I can eat or take a power dump and still be able to draw and shoot if the need arises. Tree and cliff climbing is a piece-of-cake, and lenses never get junk on them, just need the flip-up on the eyepiece. Open bottom, even if just a little, is a help, inevitable to get some junk fall in there. Avoid velcro as much as possible, too noisy; snap retainer is a lot better.
If you decide on a hip holster, get the same hand as you shoot, just wear it backwards on the opposite side, and cross-draw. IE right handed shooter would wear a right-hand holster on the left hip, grip forward.
