CCW & Motorcycling

I seem to remember there being a few posts talking about motorcle riding and ccw, however I can't seem to find it. I am curious what methods people have used, and found to work best for them.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

I have not yet managed to combine riding and carrying, but it has been discussed. There are methods for secure mounting holsters to the bike. A lot of folks pocket carry. I know one guy who uses an IWB with thumb break. I would be interested in getting a shoulder rig (probably an Andrews Monarch, with a back strap instead of belt tie-downs) for riding.

Some threads:

* Motorcycle carry?
* Carry on a motorcycle road trip
* 1911 motorcycle carry
* What do you recommend for motorcycle carry?

From a search on "motorcycle carry".

I purchased a vest from CCWSUPPLY.BIZ that has a built in holster on each side. The only drawback is my Colt Defender is a little large for the holster. so in this case I usally carry my Bersa .380, much smaller but better than being unarmed.

I carry all the time while riding. When I first did it I used a covershirt and carried it at 3:00 IWB. The wind did not lift my shirt over the gun nor did any printing occur as I thought it would. I must say that I have a winsheild on my motorcycle and this helps to deflect most of the wind around me. Whatever method you use make sure your holster has good retention.

My Kimber Ultra is my EDC...except...on my Harley! When riding, I tuck a Glock-36 IWB in a Fist #41 at 4:30-5:00 (behind right kidney)...secure and no problem with wind.

Stay armed...Harley-Davidson......stay safe!

I normally just put my pistol in the top box, as I probably wont be riding along and using it anyhow. when I stop somewhere, whether it be a campsite, restaurant etc...I discreetly take it out of the top box and tuck it into my waistband. No one has ever noticed or said anything when I do this.

The other option I have thought about is outside carry using a holster with a thumb break . I have two such holsters for either of my carry pistols, so maybe I'll try it out one of these days.

One other option I've though about is simply putting on my magnetic tank bag and putting the pistol in there. It would be easily accessible in almost all situations and could be convieniently and discreetly pulled out and put into an IWB/appendix carry.

Milt Sparks VM2 IWB like always. If I need to enter a place where I cannot carry, I use my Road Warrior locking holster.

I carry in my normal IWB from Tucker Gunleather. At first I kept checking to see if my shirt was riding up but it never seemed to happen so I just don't worry about it anymore. Now I am riding a scooter so perhaps the way I sit on that as opposed to a big motorcycle has something to do with it but I am still going 55-60 MPH.

I always carry my Glock 26 IWB and my Kel Tec P3AT in my right rear pocket while riding.

I have carried my Glock-26 comfortably in my M-Tac while riding, but, lately it's been my LCP in front pocket and pocket holster.
