How to choose the best holster for your Ruger Blackhawk

Carry Options for Ruger Blackhawk holsters

Concealed Carry

IWB Holsters

Inside-the-waistband carry keeps the gun close to your body. A solid Ruger Blackhawk IWB holster needs to check a few critical boxes. Such as being able to handle the revolver’s size and weight without shifting, sagging and printing on your cloths to prevent discovery and ensure comfort. Look for sturdy clips, smooth edges, and a sweat guard if you’re wearing it for long hours to protect both you and your revolver.

OWB Holsters

Outside-the-waistband holsters are a natural choice for open carry or hitting the range for some plinking. A well-designed Ruger Blackhawk OWB holster should sit high enough for a fast draw and low enough to stay stable as you move and not poke into your side or leg. Belt-slide holsters or pancake styles holsters are great, they ride snug and stay comfortable throughout the day.

Shoulder Holsters

If you're standing or sitting for long stretches, a shoulder holster makes carrying easier. A shoulder holster for Ruger Blackhawk balances the weight across your shoulders, taking pressure off your hips and waistband. Once it’s adjusted right, it feels almost weightless, even after hours on your feet or behind the wheel.

Chest Holsters 

A Ruger Blackhawk chest holster is an ideal choice for hikers, hunters, and anyone who needs quick access to their revolver without relying on belt carry. This style keeps the firearm high on the torso, clear of backpacks, jackets, or hip-belt interference, while distributing weight comfortably across the shoulders. A well-made chest holster holds the Blackhawk securely, protects the long barrel, and allows a smooth, confident draw even in demanding outdoor conditions.

Cross Draw Holsters

Cross draw is a solid option if you’re in and out of vehicles, riding horseback, or seated most of the day. A Ruger Blackhawk cross draw holster gives you natural access to your revolver without having to twist or reach awkwardly. The forward grip angle helps make the draw smooth, even in tight quarters.

The holster is great and I have the same one for another pistol that is perfect. However, this one will not button over the hammer and the pistol does not quite fit fully. It functions fine but I cannot clip the pistol in.
