Holsters for Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag
How to choose the best holster for your Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag
The Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag isn’t light. You need a holster that can handle the weight without dragging your belt down or shifting while you move. Look for something made specifically for this revolver’s hefty frame. Universal fits might seem convenient, but they won’t give you the same stability or security. Think about how you carry day to day. Walking the woods? Riding ATV trails? Tucking it in your waistband for a grocery run probably isn’t the go-to move with this one. Comfort matters more with big guns, and so does retention. Whether you're out hiking or just heading to the range, make sure the holster hugs your Ruger Redhawk tight without fighting you on the draw. Leather and Kydex both work, but for this gun, ruggedness is key. You want something that doesn’t flex too much and spreads the weight evenly. Adjustable cant helps, so you can dial in the draw angle until it just feels right.
Best Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag IWB Holster
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.
Carry Options for Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag holsters
Concealed Carry
IWB Holsters
Inside-the-waistband isn’t the first pick for a revolver this size, but it’s still an option if you’ve got a strong belt and roomy waistband. A well-built Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag IWB holster with a sweat guard can keep metal off your skin and help with printing. Look for adjustable clips to balance ride height and cant, especially if you’ll be moving around a lot.
OWB Holsters
Outside-the-waistband carry makes a lot more sense for the Redhawk. A solid Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag OWB holster spreads the weight better and is easier to draw from under a jacket or vest. Whether it’s leather or Kydex, get something with solid loops or a paddle that won’t shift every time you bend. Some even ride a bit higher to help with concealment, which is a bonus.
Shoulder Holsters
For colder climates or long hikes, a Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag shoulder holster can make carrying this beast feel easier. You get the weight off your belt and onto your shoulders, which helps a lot on long treks. Look for something with padded straps and a counterbalance pouch if you're carrying speed loaders or other gear. Just make sure the muzzle doesn’t sit too far back. It should stay accessible even with layers on.
Chest Holster
The chest rig is where this revolver really shines, especially if you’re in bear country or backwoods hiking. A Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan 44 Mag chest holster keeps the gun right where you can reach it, even with a backpack on. It doesn’t dig into your waist, and it’s fast to draw from if you’re dealing with thick brush or rough terrain. Look for something with padded straps and a secure retention system. This isn’t the gun you want falling out if you trip.

Summary

This matters more when you're out in the field, navigating uneven ground or thick woods. Your holster needs to stay secure, no matter how you move. With the right choice, carrying the Redhawk feels less like a burden and more like part of your routine. It keeps your hands free, your draw quick, and your revolver right where it needs to be.
