I ordered one with a Ronin OWB holster for the XDM10. Will give it a shot and see how it does. I'd like to know what you think of it...and thanks for being the guinea pig!

Have any of you fugking morons heard of a paddle holster and a towel? You put the paddle holster on your strong side while wearing a backpack, and take five seconds to affix it to yourself when you stop on the trail or for the day. If the plastic between the paddle and holster become too worn from hip belts, buy another fugking paddle holster. Drape a towel over it. I have done this for ten years through Yellowstone, Glacier, and wilderness areas. Plaid shorts and Aviators let both human and wildlife know that you are not to be fugked with. HPG kit bags are tough to beat.

I hate an untucked t shirt and that solution would work well.

Like the paddle holster and towel combo. Great, yet simple low cost solution to a problem. Looks innocuous too. Great for the Deep South where high humidity makes a lot of us have a towel handy.

I made up my own chest pack with a 9"x10"x2 1/2" Fieldline pack and a Crooked Horn Bino harness.

Those that use the HPG Recon…what is your method for carrying your binos and pistol together? Both in the “pistol” compartment? Ted, I would think the pistol retention would not be good with the double M4 pouch you are using?

It rides well tilting over the HPG or can be loosened to ride directly over or under it. https://rickyoungoutdoors.com/basic-ultra-light-bino-harness/

If you're going for a walk, just figure out something cheap like the above paddle holster.
If you're backpacking real distances with real weight, HPG is the way to go.

I use the HPG bino pouch that attaches via molle straps to the recon bag. works great and can be placed off center on the bag to give better access to the pistol and better string clearance when shooting a bow
If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning

I keep binos and rangefinder in the front pocket and pistol in the back (closer to the body) pocket. Works pretty well for me.

Grumpy old man with a gun.....Do not touch . Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Don't bother my monument and I'll leave yours alone.

Haven't tried it myself, but this looked like a possibility, for me anyway. May drop the pistol just far enough under the pack belt to be out of the way, but not halfway down your thigh like the typical "tactical" leg holsters. They have chest holsters as well, but I generally have binoculars and a range finder there. https://gunfightersinc.com/shop/micro-aggression-thigh-panel/I finally got this. It does keep the grip below the pack hip belt, but haven't run around in the woods with it yet. Here's a quick pick with an empty pack. I'm not a lefty, I took the picture with the front camera on my phone and I guess it flips the image.

Just ordered another holster unit for my Kenai, this one for my Shield plus. The more I use it, the better I like it. Keeps the weight off my waist and hips. Also is very accessible while in the car.
Was hiking on the local WMA last week while wearing the 5.7 on my chest. None of the dog-walkers we met ran away screaming in fear, nor even seemed to notice, not that I care. After all, I’m one of the people actually paying for their “dog park”, and point that out at every opportunity. Last week, one of the guys we met asked where the “wildlife preserve” area began, since he had seen that on a map someplace, probably on Apple Maps, which calls it a “Wildlife Area”, omitting the “Management “ part.
What fresh Hell is this?

This is by the far greatest paddle holster I have ever used. Great retention and very fast out of the holster. I'll never bother with anything else. https://safariland.com/products/model-6378-als-concealment-paddle-holster-w-belt-loop-23341

I have been using an Alien Gear holster attached to the molle webbing on my MR6500's hip belt to carry a Glock 32 for several years now.
