I'm a doc, I ride, and I carry, but I never thought about this before.

Primarily you would want to keep the hard outline of the gun from directly striking the body.

If you are really concerned about it, I think a fanny pack with a heavy double leather or formed plastic liner, to distribute the force of the pistol against the body in case of accident, might be a good idea.

Think about a standard fanny pack, in a spot easily accessible. Line it on the body side with two layers of heavy leather, or semi-flexible plastic. A piece of firm Kydex could be used, or several layers of white plastic milk carton contact cemented together.

A strong paddle holster might also fit the bill. I found this quote with a quick google search:

I am writing to thank you for the products that you produce. In April of this year while working a surveillance detail I was involved in a motorcycle accident on asphalt. I was wearing a Fobus model gl-2 paddle holster. The holster not only stayed in place but also protected my side from the coarse asphalt. My Glock model 27 also was not damaged. I am over six feet tall and weigh 220 pounds and that was a lot of pressure during my 25 yard slide. The holster still works fine and has only some surface scratches. I am a believer in the retention of the holster I have fought with criminals and had my leather paddle holster come loose.

In conclusion I am convinced the polymer tough holsters by Fobus are the only combat ready holster that will stand up to above and beyond extremes and I have been in law enforcement for over twenty years.

On a rather grim note- I have not seen a motorcycle fatality that did not involve crushing head injury or castration. Or both. :blink: I wouldn't put anything in the lower abdominal area that could snag/impale you.

Soooo...you're saying Smart Carry definitely ain't so smart in this scenario?
