A little bit of back-story: My son and I are going to go camp at a ghost town in the Nevada foothills / mountains (up at about 7,000 feet), northwest of the Faultless Test Site. (I learned a couple of years ago that I have quite a bit of family history with the area.)

Spoke with a local Sheriff and he said that although there aren't a lot of critters in the area, we should pack a couple of magnum pistols with us in the case of a mountain lion (although he did say they tend to stay to more forested regions). We were planning on taking a couple of magnum pistols (and quite a few more firearms) with us anyways.

But the question is: In the case of an emergency, what sort of holster is best? I was thinking a chest / hunting holster as it allows for quick draw and easy carrying for a larger pistol. Is there something better?

You're not going to see a mountain lion, your sheriff is an idiot. If you need to have a gun on you just by camping outside, stay inside.

Mountain Lions, Gators, and/ or Bears are always a concern in the wilderness and camping builds character. It's imperative to carry when camping in wilderness.

I think that’s a bit overzealous. I carry more for the humans than the animals.

that's fair too, but i've been stalked by a Lynx before lol so it's not overzealous if you hike a lot
