Inexpensive Chest Holster for Ruger Blackhawk 7.5"

[FancyGunz]

As the title says, I am looking for an inexpensive but secure holster for my 7.5" Ruger Blackhawk. I need something that doesn't flop around or get in the way with using a backpack. I am going to use this for strenuous hiking.

Most holsters for this gun/purpose seem to be special custom made holsters in the $100+ (and sometimes $200+!) range. This holster will likely get beat up a bit so I am looking fo something cheap.

Have you checked this relatively new comparison chart on Ruger?

Another option might be an Original Kig Bag from Hill People Gear. I don't think the Runner's pack would fit something that big.

I have one very similar to this and used to wear it all the time.
you tend to walk a little cocked to one side though with that iron on you

I bought mine on Ebay cheap

Thanks for all the replies. I really like the Hill People Gear bags but they are too small. I still have not found a holster that works for hiking.

@jason19711971 your ebay link doesn't work...?

I have this one for my Super Redhawk 7.5" in 44mag. I hiked with it in Yellowstone, and although it may need some adjustements to keep the muzzle pointing in a safe direction consistently, it distributed the weight well.
