Since I got my C-TAC, that's what I use on my bike. I actually prefer my SERPA, but have almost quit carrying openly, including on my bike.

Smartcarry or snubbie in the pocket

I carry the same when on my bike as when I'm out in the car, IWB at 3:30. Depending on the weather, I use a T shirt cover, or a vest, or a jacket. Riding a motorcycle does not present any unusual problems for IWB. Wind will not expose the gun as long as your cover garment is long enough to fall below the level of your belt line.

I carry fanny pack, in vest, or IWB.

There are motorcycle jackets, vests, etc. all made specificially for conceal carry.. and made to hold and be able to hold a gun. Fanny packs are common with motorcyclists, so no one thinks anything about it.

And normal IWB or OWB .... the holsters I'm using now have a snap thumb break to make sure it doesn't fall out of the holster while riding down the road and I'm leaning back in the seat. This came from just sitting on the bike in my yard and leaned back and the gun slid right out of my hoster onto the ground. Went to thumb breaks to prevent that ever happening again.

There are fanny packs that have holsters built into them. I have 4 of them in different sizes.

If I cannot take the gun in somewhere.... I take off my vest, or fanny pack, etc. and lock it up in the saddle bags, and no one has any idea that there is a gun in them. If I'm IWB, then I can take off a vest or take something and slide it in with it into the bags, and not be noticed.

When traveling I had a bag on the pinion seat that has side pockets that can be locked.... and a gun fits in there perfectly. However, I lock it down to the point that no one can take off with the bag without major major issues.

A lot of times, you can also lock up a small carry gun in the side panel , and lock it with the key. Most LEO's I've asked, say they use that method to lock it up if they need to.

I carry tucked IWB, so riding or driving, there is no difference.

I will probably read the linked threads, but I should state that CC on a motorcycle and needing to use it while still on the bike (stop light, parking, etc.) is going to require some significant rider skill. There are some riding principles and use of CC that are diametrically opposed to each other.

Having 'cruise control' helps...

I've always wondered what the recoil from a 90 degree shot would do while riding. Anyone tried it?

ccman · June 27th, 2008, 12:57 PM

AZ Husker. I tried it and ended up on the bedroom floor and woke up.

Have been carrying Kimber Pro Carry HD II in a Milt Sparks VM-II. Recently ordered an MTAC for the Glock 36...no problem with the Kimber, just like options!

I carry my Kahr CW9 in my front pocket, the small of my back in a tuckable holster. The Smith 686 goes in my saddlebags which are locked when I park the bike. From the small of my back I could draw while riding, but not from my pocket.
