they attach to your BELT and then your THIGH
they ride lower on the leg than a traditional belt holster!
you never really mention what specific pistol you planned to carry, just a handgun , and this these holsters are rather comfortable when walking and carrying a rifle!
and why I mentioned them!
as for wanting to carry a LARGE hand gun, that opens a whole new can of worms IMO
the most comfortable way to carry a large framed revolved IMO< is with a chest rig
like one of these

Oh, I see what you mean. A rig that hangs from a belt straps to the thigh so it doesn't flop around I guess. I dunno. That looks complicated and messy to deal with. It might be a lot of trouble to undo that to pull ones pants down to take a krap. Whenever I think of guns attached to human legs, I think of ankle rigs.
I would carry specifically a Smith N-frame .44, 6" (
hogleg is my slang for such big revolver, I don't yet own such gun) in bear country or my newly-online-ordered Smith 686 PLUS .357 L-frame, 3" in an area I know there is no bears. Some people (including a veteran policeman) on other firearms sites have indicated that either a chest rig or a shoulder rig would flop around, get in the way and/or hurt ones body while walking along hunting. The method the sidearm is carried can't interfere with the slinging, carry or mounting of a long gun. I seems like most long-gun hunters prefer to carry a sidearm on either hip if they pack a sidearm afield at all.
