I used an Uncle Mike's No 3 holster with the big flap that velcroed onto the back of the holster.. it worked great for covering the whole revolver and kept the rain, snow and bush crud away from the gun.

I’ll betcha there’s others and not every range takes part in shooting ipsc etc, I’ve been a member of another range that was fine with holster use on the general day to day shooting. No black badge was required to wear or use one, how it should be if you ask me.
Our range allows whatever holster, not necessarily to draw and shoot from, but so you dont have to leave a firearm unattended, or to move from one range to another, or to just simply have a place to put it. In these situations they are meant to be unloaded and if there happens to be anyone else there, they can visually see that.
Hmm, sorry I cant visualize how the holster would be oriented for that to happen? Not saying it cant, I'm just lacking the imagination at the moment.
Asides from that, they are waaaay more comfy, especially if your gun is not made of plastic...

If your gun is carried in a shoulder holster that carries it in a muzzle backward direction (horizontal carry, with slide or cylinder parallel to the ground), most folks are going to be sweeping everyone on their left (if the holster is carried on the left side) or right (if the holster is on the right) when drawing from (or returning to) the holster. As well as everyone behind you.
and themselves. As Geologist indicated they do have a purpose. I would not use mine while shooting with a line of shooters but I certainly would when shooting by myself or when I had my Wilderness Permit and out in the bush.

I have a Galco vertical for full size Glock, and draw or insert it angles back to about 45 degrees. People within 3 feet or so, could have legs swept, but hard to bring it in to sweep myself. They are banned at my range.
That means nothing. You should be able to manage this no problem... just go down to the CC sub thread. They'll straighten you out...
I'm not a fan of HZ shoulder holsters either.
But apparently they are just as safe as any... only Pussy's have problems with being swept, lol. "Guns don't just go off" ...to these people I would suggest carrying their 'Cocked and Locked Automatic' stuck down the front of their pants Gangsta style... at least we won't have as many offspring from them to worry about...
Sarcasm font is big on that one...and yeah, I'm trolling a bit.
Back to the topic at hand. I really like the Tanker style, not sure if they are as practical as they seem. Anyone with experience...pls sound off.

Hey tokguy!
Solely Canadian is experimenting with a tanker style now for wilderness use. Definitely has its use for ease of access and draw compared to a traditional shoulder holster system. Drawback will be lack of concealability but that may not be a concern when open carrying in the bush.

Gotcha, never used one before I was under the assumption the muzzle point primarily down and not so much back. Makes sense.
