A specialized carrying system designed for the Ruger Super Blackhawk revolver, this equipment typically consists of a harness or straps configured to securely hold the firearm against the chest. This allows for quick access and a hands-free carrying method, often preferred in hunting, backcountry activities, or certain tactical situations. Variations can accommodate different barrel lengths and may include additional pouches for ammunition or other essential gear.
Carrying a large-frame revolver like the Ruger Super Blackhawk presents unique challenges due to its size and weight. A chest rig offers a practical solution, distributing the weight evenly and providing increased stability compared to traditional holsters. This can be particularly advantageous in scenarios requiring mobility and rapid deployment. The historical precedent for such carrying methods can be found in military and law enforcement applications, adapted and refined for civilian purposes.
