Built from premium steerhide with a tension screw and a robust retention strap (easy to pop with gloved hands), DAO rides securely for brush busting, ATVing, or range days. It wears strong side or crossdraw, fits belts up to 1 3/4", and the open-muzzle design accommodates varying barrel lengths. Available finishes typically include tan, black, or havana—classic looks with hard-use durability. If you want one leather holster for Taurus Raging Hunter that covers the most ground, this is it.

Why it wins

• Versatile carry (strong side or crossdraw) for hiking and hunting

Best Chest Option for Backcountry: Kodiak

Headed deep or going hands-free with a pack on? Choose the Kodiak™ Hunter/Chest Holster (available for limited Raging Hunter models). This across-the-torso chest holster spreads weight, keeps the revolver clear of waistbelts, waders, and bino harnesses, and shines when scrambling or sitting in a stand. It’s the smart pick for scoped revolvers or heavy winter layers when belt carry feels clumsy.

When to pick Kodiak

• You wear a backpack or chest harness regularly
• You run an optic and need clearance
• You want the quickest access while seated, glassing, or on an ATV
