Looking for a shoulder holster to carry a 7 1/2 inch Redhawk in. What do you suggest and pictures would be great. I usually like leather, but it may be too costly. Thanks.
 
El Paso Saddlery also has excellent rigs.
Their prices are comparable to most other makers, but if you need something special, they will work with you.
 
Check out Barranti Leathers High Country Companion or Tamk Rig. Doc's work is exceptional and his prices are reasonable, considering the ultimate custom quality he provides in every piece. Go to: barrantileather.com and check out his work.
 
I've been rather lucky in my search for "serviceable" Second Hand, L.H. Shoulder Holsters. I use them frequently for Single-Sixes and Blackhawks/Super Blackhawks. Gun Shops and Pawn Shops have kept me
"happy"! :D

What's your price range? If you aren't adverse to spending in the $200-300 range you can get an incredible quality holster from Mike Barranti, 7x Leather, or Grizzly Leather. I have a 7x that I bought 5 years ago for my 7.5 inch Super Redhawk and it's well worth the price. If you are toting it through the woods for any distance a well made rig will make the weight and heft more than comfortable. I've done 7-8 miles in a day with my rig and not had any issues.
I believe Barranti also has some more economical holsters that are less than $150 for a tanker style rig.

Personally I find "true" shoulder holsters to be a real pain in the neck to deal with. All of the straps and the general fit make them a hassle to get on and off without twisting straps. This is especially true if you are trying to put one on with a parka on.

My recommendation would be for either a chest rig (ala Simply Rugged Chesty Puller, or 7X Leather) or a bandoleer type such as the Ringler Wyoming Combination Hunter. Either of those variations are easy on or off, hold the gun secure and are very comfortable.
 
Check out Falco Holsters. I have two of their shoulder rigs and am pleased with both. Am ordering another one for a new SP101 with 4.2" barrel. very reasonable too!
