How to carry on a motorcycle?

[turnandshoot4]

I am looking into getting a bike soon and was wondering how everyone carried on a bike? I was thinking a vest with a shoulder holster.

So how do you carry?

 

[Chefcook]

You got the right idea. I always carry my Walther ppk on the bike its real flat and hides easily under my vest. A guy I know carries a keltec in a cellphone holster. I never knew he carried till he showed me lol...

Depends on how "tacticool" you want to be.. how about drop-leg holsters on both sides??

Just kidding (mostly)

The one thing that I will caution - make sure that whatever you're wearing has excellent retention. You don't wanna park your bike and walk to look for your handgun..

That is why I was leaning towards the shoulder holster and not a paddle holster. I could just see hitting a bump and there goes my sig. I know they are durable but I don't want to try it.

Shotgun in the saddle bag, I have no problem with IWB S&W MP 40c. Real nice in the summer if you want to go with an untucked shirt and no jacket/vest.

Drawing while ridding takes a little practice, harder for right handed people.

Should I invest in a Serbu Super Shorty?

Couple of ways Ive seen.

Shoulder Holster seems idea but you always have to wear a vest or jacket.

Pants Pocket Carry but the gun has to be small enough to fit.

Also seen guys just carry in an inside pocket of their jacket or vest.

I read in a magazine about a vest specifically made with a holster pocket.

What's wrong with shoulder holster without a jacket?

In public a side holster works fine.But if you feel a little crazy that day go for the leg holster(umm i did this...see my public pics lol...the Johnson county sheriff department did notice the leg holster.He followed me into a gas station and asked "going to war"? I said no just ridding That was that.I now only carry in a belt holster.

I use a 6 O'clock holster on my sport bike. Being hunched over the tank you don't even know it's there, upright on my cruiser is a different story. On the cruiser I usually wear a paddle holster. Once I did bring a shotgun home strapped to the back seat. I had the stock off to make it a little shorter. Thought it would get attention, but then again, I do live in southern Indiana.

I always use either an ankle holster or in my vest pocket. I carry a J frame though so anything bigger would have different needs.

I have often remarked how I miss Arizona. There with no permits required. You just strap on your Colt and Sling your AR over your shoulder and roll its all good. If you get stopped with your .45 cocked and locked sitting on the dash the officer will barely even take notice.... As things should be....JC

I don't want to be mistaken for a 1%er.

I'll have to look into the jacket with the holster.

I am a Gold Wing rider. I almost always wear mine in IWB holsters. That is not to say I always cary concealed. I find the IWB holsters very comfortable and secure. close enough to my body that someone cannot snatch it without my knowing and resisting!
It is also a very secure way to carry on my bike.

Also a Gold Wing rider and use IWB most of the time.

My suggestion......

 

[turnandshoot4]

Is that your bike? That looks great! So you suggest a .30 cal carbine?

Umm, no. You should get a lever action shotgun. Haven't you seen Terminator? Sheesh...

Personally, I like the idea of a shoulder holster. As someone mentioned earlier, righties could still draw with the left hand if necessary.
