- Bikers and 2nd amendment rights go together like mom and apple pie. Motorcycle riders rank their concealed carry weapons (everyday carry or EDC) and pocket pistols right up there with modifying their bikes, but where is the best place and the best way to carry your pistol while riding? In this video we will talk about bike mods, holsters, pistol sizes whether it be a small .380, 9mm, all the way up to a Colt Government 1911 .45 and where to put it when you are on the road.

Been a BIG man most of my life, couldn't lose weight for any girlfriends, or my wife, but I lost 65lbs to conceal my CZ P-01, must be TRUE love!
Good on ya! CZ fan boy here...P-07, P-09, P-10c and a RAMI. Love those guns.
Retired LEO. All of your suggestions were very good. The best and most important thing you said was not to leave it bouncing around inside. I have a Shield, Bodyguard, and Kahr, in .40 .380 and .45. All will fit in my back pocket but not very comfy on long ride. The most important thing is IF you get pulled over, let the officer know what and where you have it. Surprises could lead to bad day for all.
depending on the state requires you to. Oklahoma you do not need to give that info unless officer asks by state law. I let em know anyway. even hand them my ccl along with my license. i find that if you are up front with officers. keep your hands on the bars and shut you engine off before they step out of the car. chances are you'll just get a warning instead of a ticket. if you show concern for their safety like pulling way over out of the line of traffic and things I've mentioned. you are more likley to get a warning. I've been asked why I kept my hands on the bars before. i told the officer for his and my safety. told him i had a firearm. told him where it was on me told him where my license was and i was slowly reaching for my wallet on the opposite side of my firearm. he asked for insurance told him i was reaching for my phone it was on an app. after five minutes i went away with a warning and he thanked me for thinking of his saftey. officer want to go home too
Yea when I get pulled over I hand over my license, registration, insurance, and carry permit. I've been asked afterwards if I was carrying and said yes on my right hip, nothing else said. Had another just hand back the carry permit and said, I don't need this, no questions about firearms. Mileage will vary with each officer. But I live in Georgia so people carrying is not a surprise here at all... In a blue state the Officer might be scared out of lack of dealing with that type of scenario.
I've heard that information should generally not be disclosed unless the cop asks you directly. Then again, I'm sure this does vary greatly depending on the state and the man who pulled you over.
Thanks for your service sir. That's Solid advice, first words after "hello officer" should be, " I have a firearm in ______ ."
Most times the officer will ask you to get off your bike or out of your vehicle to check & secure the weapon ,(whatever you do let the officer recover it don't try to help) a lot of times they don't even request it. Main thing is to be upfront about having it. L.E.O.'S number 1 job everyday, is going home after work....(5 Leo's in my immediate family they all say that same thing)..... They will shoot you if they think you're going to stop them from that goal ....
Ride safe .
I only carry in my Cut. I never drink when I carry. I never drink when I ride for that matter.
A voice of reason.
Best policy
In the past, my travels have taken me through multiple states and I have to comply with different situations. So my 380 lives in a "quick draw" type holster in the lid of my saddlebag and the mag (fully loaded) is in my pocket. I test and refresh my abilities to ready myself for a shot frequently. I'm an old Marine that believes in being ready for "whatever". I know what states are open carry and which ones will confiscate your sidearm in a heartbeat. The times are changing and we need to keep up with the craziness or we will pay the price!!!!
Perfectly said. Thank you for your service!
My two favorite hobbies combined into one video!?
Its a perfect storm!!!
I always use the holster built in to my riding vest. I do carry a 1911. I have several different calibers. I usually carry the 9mm because it is a little lighter. I also carry an LC9 in my 👛 purse.
Always on my hip, don't feel like telling someone to wait while I get my gun!
As I said in the video, only in the bag when I can’t carry it.
I use a combination lock box in my bag with a steel cable mounted to the frame.
Good plan.
Remember to always check regulations when you are traveling, because laws vary state to state. I've been in Law Enforcement for many years and that is the best thing you can do when traveling. What's not a problem in one state, may be a felony in another. However, carry when you can. Would rather have it and never need it then need it and not have it.
@Straalen Streams I am aware of the 2nd amendment and what it's says. I agree 100% the government should not be able to tell you when, what, or how to carry. However, if you read what I stated, I said, the best thing you can do. Unfortunately there are laws in places that the act of carrying a firearm can cause you trouble. I am simply stating that to prevent problems and possible criminal charges, you might want to know the laws where you plan to travel. To anyone that wants to carry, God bless you. To the other part of your statement, I don't know where in what I said leads you to believe I am either a coward or a traitor. To the best of my knowledge, we don't know each other, so I am not sure how you are able to form such a strong opinion about me. I have nothing but love in my heart for people who believe in and back the constitution of this great country. God bless you brother. I wish you safety and prosperity in your life.
If I'm on my 11" ultra, My M&P 40 is either in my vest or I also have a shoulder holster...never leave home without it...
Here in Virginia we have concealed and open carry. So I just roll down the road gun on my hip, don't care who can see it or not. Havent been stopped yet.
Same in NC.
@@philgriswold2133 free state of AZ here and if i have to leave it with my trike or bike I carry a gun lock box with the cable hook to the fram or any place where it would be hard to take off. This like at the Post office as here in this area the small bank I go to allows you to carry. I have new case being made for a 10 mil vote stun gun that will go by my hand on the handle bars that will give me time to pull away when I am on my bike if I am at a stop light and someone trys something. I try to cover every base. Other things I don't tell. I am to old to fight these days at 66.1
Same
SAME IN LOUISIANA
I really need to get the hell out of WA. It's been Californicated to near death.
Some great concepts here. Another retired LEO; it is hard for me to even consider a primary CC sidearm other than on my person as sometimes stuff happens quickly, and retrieving something quickly from inside a 'Wing's bag is not possible. An IWB holster at about 4 0'clock seems comfortable and reduces the visibility unless you are sparsely clothed in the south. Carrying a mouse gun in your front pocket works... but I decided to nap one warm day on a ride and found that is incompatible with holding a straight line and staying upright. Oddly enough no broken bones - except a little fracture exactly where the pistol was on the front of my hip when I kissed a fence. Life is risk... and managing it.
Holy crap, goad you're ok!
I always recommend on body carry.
Yup.
I agree !!!
I agree. If you need it it’s there.
You have a unique ability to keep talking and keep it interesting. That’s not easy to do hence your subscription increase. Well deserved. Love your content. Guns, Motorcycles, RVs and Stuff.
Grassy ass!!!
Wow! Motorcycles AND guns! Now you’re talking! I’ve been a firearms instructor for 25 years. I’ve never been a fan of “off body carry”, but I’ve had my issues with the wind blowing my shirt up. I still carry when I’m on the bike but the struggle is certainly real.
“No Guns Allowed” is just a suggestion. In my state you have to be verbally and directly asked to leave and take your gun with you, that is if they even know you have one. 99.99999% of the time the gun is in my jacket or vest, or IWB. Never left on the bike. As an FFL, there’s no way I could justify not being in immediate control of a firearm. The ATF would have my nuts in a vise.
I always carry my 1911. I use a shoulder harness or the carry vest I wear riding. I also carry my LC9 in my 👛 purse. Ever since I got my permit to carry I have carried daily. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Not riding yet looking into finnaly getting on two wheels and this helps me with ideas of where it should go. Thank you.
Milwaukee leathers make jackets with built-in concealed carry pockets.
Been thinking of picking up a club style kutte from them, how's their product quality? Any good? Does the ccw pocket suck?
@@kevinbruce6346 the pocket is good size for average ccw pistol in my jacket and has some pretty basic elastic loops for both pistol and spare mag on both sides. Overall quality is good for the whole thing.
When i worked at a gun range i carried a 1911 inside waistband. the skinnyness of the gun helped. now-a-days i usually carry a Ruger LCR. Except I lost all my guns last year in a freak tornado accident. no other damage or lost items. just swooped up all my guns and i cant find them anymore.
Aw man, a gun tornado? That sucks.
@@ProfessionalMonkey Probably part of that perfect storm of motorcycles and guns?
I use a magnetic tank bag with a built in holster. Easy quick access to the weapon and whatever else I want quick access too. Also I can just grab the bag off my tank and show it or carry it. I also carry a 38spl Darringer small frame in my watch pocket.
tank bag is a very good idea
I use an alien gear shapeshifter shoulder holster setup under the vest for riding
As I’m watching this, the mail came with my renewed Utah CCP. I got my Utah back when Virginia got loony, but all is well, and keeping my Utah adds a few extra states where I can conceal. My EDC is my trusty Walther PPQ. I’ve had her since Walther came out with it. I haven’t found anything with a better trigger, and I can knock a hair off a gnats ass with her! 😉 I shouldn’t admit this, I appendix carry because I’m fat, and I often holster it and forget it, out of sight, out of mind, go where I want to go, act like I own the joint. If I need it, It will not do me any good laying in a glovebox.
Everyday is a s&w .40 my polite piece is a s&w bodyguard.380 ..... You don't want to get killed for lack of shooting back. Good video
I have seen holsters attached to handlebars, T bars and ape's....For when you are on your sled!!!!!! Close and available, when and if you were to need it!!! Have only seen a couple videos, but liking your channel brotha!!
Right on
For concealed carry: it may sound off but a fanny pack (something similar) its on your person, and if the wind blows others will only see a bag and be less concerned. For open carry: hip works as long as its secure, or shoulder holster. Biggest you are willing to carry is a good point, but also a holster that can support the weight. As for dealing with magnets and speakers, the speaker magnet has to overcome all other forces and a magnet next to it could damage/hinder its proper use and may end up distorting or damaging.
Always on my hip! I use an alien gear holster that is the most comfortable I've ever worn and I have carried for over 40 years. I never trust leaving a loaded firearm in a vehicle. You have some great ideas though. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have. My EDC is a Glock 26, 10 in the mag 1 in the pipe and 1 spare mag!
Yeah I would never leave a gun in saddle bags. One kick and they're open. Not vh only that you dont have time to " get your gun" an average draw and shoot is 1 .5 seconds so.... I wouldnt know what an average open my bags, retrieve my carry ,point and be dead takes.
I carry Glock 43x and spare Mag appendix. (I’m a big guy so its possible for silverbacks too) If I have to leave it on the bike, I leave the firearm in the holster and put in pocket of saddle bag organizer.
Great hook. Caught my attention. Yes the final idea works. There also the fairing.
My gun is always on me, either an American arms flip handle 5 shot magnum 22 in ft pocket ( clip looks like a cell phone) very short barrel can't tell you have it in your pocket. Or mainly my S&W 38 shielded hammer air weight in a calf holster above my right boot (a throwing boot knife in left boot)....wear wrangler cowboy cut jeans for easy pull up,,,, fairly fast grab.
.38 Sarcasm & wit here in the UK :) best every day carry i need
I’m so glad you had this video. I’m in MA and have been struggling with what to do so you gave me some good ideas. My EDC is a Sig 1911 Ultra. Much appreciated brotha!
Your perfect everyday carry is one you can shoot effectively.
M72 open carry - I've given up on trying to find a decent OWB for it. 🤣 I really don't like leaving my sidearm unsecure in a vehicle so it stays with me most of the time. I've had to lock it up on the bike once and you have some great ideas for those times when you can't take it with you.
Look at Alien Gear Holster. They have a velcro mounted holster that fits well inside a saddlebag
If I am going somewhere I cannot or won't wear the firearm, I lock it inside a cheap, wal mart lockable safe that attaches to the motorcycle with a short steel cable. The safe is padded inside and has rounded edges so it won't mess up the bags, I can switch it between motorcycles easily and it is as secure as I can make it on a motorcycle. Also cheap-about $20. Also locks up check book and some cash for road trips.
The RickRak holsters are made by a retired LEO from NY. High quality, you mount the holder where the saddlebag bolt is, and the holster clips on it. You can then take holsters out and clip on your belt! Great product! Bought one from him at Sturgis 2 urs ago. He was at the vendor row across the street from Rapid City H-D.
I carry a Taurus Millennium G2 on my hip. I also use a paddle holster in the saddle bag. Rickrak is 20 minutes from my house, so I'm going to check that out when he gets back from Daytona.
Tell him to send me one! Or at least to check out the channel!
I'll do that!
There is a clip retainer you can get that your pistol leg holster will unsnap off that and when MOUNTED inside the saddlebag. It snaps in and had trigger guard etc. It's mounted in the bag. Then have a belt clip on the other side. It slide into position so you can wear it concealed.
Leave it in the bag, put it on your back without unholstering
You're gonna take my advice keep on doing what you're doing
Thank you, sir!
All glocks but i never keep one in the pipe i pratice that way and always have ... when u can rack it in a second theres no need ... im subbing keep the vids coming!
THANKS!
Lots of good ideas there. Of course where I can, my Taurus 9mm is on my hip. If I have my .380 I will carry it in my vest. If I can't, like when off the bike in the flatlands (Illinois,) I put it in my HardBagger Top Shelf saddlebag organizer with foam insert. I've got an old vid showing it.
Open carry is allowed here in KY. So the hip is good, also a torso because I ride a sport bike. Still working on good alternative for "on" the bike
This is the main reason I'm looking at a road king over a street glide. Looks like a g26 can fit on those little glove boxes.
For now my z1r leather has concealed pockets with the stretchy holsters
Smith Wesson Body Guard 380 fits in my back pocket.
Up here in canada few things will get you in more shit then getting busted carrying. But that removable holster in the saddle idea is nice idea if you were inclined to do so
Interstate carry on a bike would be q very good episode
A note on Peel and stick magnets: use adhesive primer in area where it’s to be mounted , rub peel off with thumb before removing to warm up tape. That will give the best holding but will leave a dull finish to surface of paint. Use rubbing alcohol on painted areas that may be seen again.
Ummm on your hip 1 in the chamber and ready to rock an roll!!!
after watching my buddies pistol slide across the ground when it came out of his IWB holster when he wrecked I started looking at better options and went shoulder holster under the vest
@@Kyle-ue5uj if you wreck lol that pistol is coming out regardless of where's it's at! Wrecks happen so does robberies, murder and kidnapping! I'd rather have my pistol on me ready to go when something comes! If your holding your pistol somewhere else besides you because your worried about crashing your bike... well... stay ready and vigilant at all times and stay safe while riding keep the rubber down!
I have mounted bags on my lowers. Carry a 380 there, Bought the bags at J&P and riveted the bag to the door. Easy to get to and very secure,
Good topic. Safety and lawful use, carry, transport and storage, always. My main pistol is a Beretta M9; Current backup pistol is also 9mm semi-auto, but small, lightweight, composite piece. Needless to say: Gun Control is hitting what you're aiming at. And always be aware of the backdrop...what's behind the intended target and how far might that round travel after hitting the target (dependent on type of projectile and load in the shell).
Tell your dealer to have Barnett Make the Cable for you, and i live in Northern New England We have Constitutional Carry here, so everyone i know carries, i used to carry 357/38 special Smith's but then i shot a Ruger Security 9, then the LCP, and LC9s my every day is the LC9s and a pocket full of genuine Ruger Magazines, i carry mine on me at all times except in states were doing so will make me a felon !!! My Wife has a Taurus Spectrum she loves . i was thinking of moving to Florida, but if my pistol showing will get me pulled over i may have to re-think that. I'm looking for ways to Hide a gun while riding thru states that would lock me up for YEARS if they found it, like Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey cause i'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Taurus makes a good weapon. I like the Sig 365. Carry in my vest or sometimes just put it in my back pocket.
1911 Colt Gold Cup, yes its on me, everywhere I go.....Vertex back pak, has holster options, also Level 3A armor from Premier, fits in the Vertex...100$ for the L3A from Premier.
When I lived in TX, I would just carry my G26 at about the 5 O'clock position in a good IWB holster. But I always wore a good summer jacket with armor. So it didn't ride up in the wind. If I had to go inside the post office, I'd throw it inside the top case with my helmet and gloves.
But now that I live in MD and sold my bike... I'll just have to live vicariously through you. Hopefully we'll move again soon!
Keep the dream alive!!!
I alternate between a Sticky pocket holster and a Sneaky Pete OWB for my Kimber Micro 9 while on the bike. Plus I have dedicated storage pockets, one in my tour pack and one in my side bag (quicker access) when I don't body carry.
I live in Ohio so we have open carry, I also have a CCW as well. I mounted a holster in the side cover and when I am riding I carry one there and lock it up if I am away from my bike and I as well have the saddlebag storage pouches. I also appendix carry my EDC.
AR15 in a fork scabbard, FTW! LoL JK. I carry an Arex Delta M Gen 2 IWB at 4:00 o'clock.
For those times when you have to leave it behind, I like the various options that mount on the saddlebag mounting bolt from Rickrak or Innovative Storage Solutions with a legit trigger guard.
I've been thinking about a Vulcan QuickDraw inside the front of the saddlebag. That way it can ride in there without one in the chamber in case of a crash, but can be easily racked on the draw for quick access while on the bike.
Then there's the Henry U.S. Survival Rifle that breaks down and stores in the stock for those camping occasions when you have to hunt for something to throw on the fire!
omg I love listening to you Yanks talk about your guns!! In Oz we can't carry a slingshot!
Rocks are good.
Move
Could you share the SG badges part #. Want to put those on my Scorched Orange Limited!
shoulder holster. Also my cut has a gun pocket. Im in Az . No permits needed for open or concealed carry.And my piece IS a Colt 1911. Dont care what it weighs. Its fine in the shoulder holster. Weighs my cut down though. I either carry my Colt combat elite or my actual factual made in 1943 M1911A1 government issue with matching numbers . The old girl still shoots just fine!
I like the sig P 938 9mm with the BRG 7mag grip it fits in a large hand and provides a pinkie finger grip. I put it in the front slope of my left saddle bag with a Prepcision mount that lets you slide the rack if you don’t want it to be loaded you just push down and your locked cocked and ready for business. I really like this setup.
You gotta love being left handed right. I know I do LoL
Nice suggestions here. Do an apocalypse load out!
My typical day to day carry is my M & P Shield 9mm IWB. On the bike for extended rides is a full size M & P in a shoulder rig under the cut/jacket. Of course if I end up in a place that won't allow me to carry inside, I have a biometric car safe that tethers inside the saddle bag...
When I'm riding, I carry either a 3" 1911, or a sig P229 in a Galco shoulder holster. If I need it, I need it NOW, not "wait til I stop, get off, and open up my Tour Pack or Saddle Bag." JMO.
I only put mine away when underway. I’m more concerned about an accident scenario than thinking I am Chuck Norris and is going to get into a gunfight going down the road.
Great advice. I heard you should carry the one you shoot best and carries/conceals comfortably. The answer for me is my Sig P938. In the saddlebag is my CZ P-07 9mm. I train with that one, too. Too big/heavy on the hip, though.
Too bad the little compartments on the fairing aren’t lockable. That would still be a good place to keep one while your on the bike. I keep mine on my person. Concealed means concealed though. If I don’t have to go through a metal detector then it stays with me.
I agree with this comment 👍 👏 👌
I approve this message
Here in France we aren't allowed to carry.
But I second the locking compartments request !
Garage door opener, gloves, sun glasses, highway payment device ...
A lot of stuff could find its place in there but here you can't leave anything unlocked otherwise it will be stolen.
I appreciate your videos. Good stuff to know!!
I do carry a 1911 off duty it is in a shoulder rig under my cut if I carry a gun in my cut it is a 40cal S&W.
living in Florida, YES 100% LCP 380, Fits in the shorts pocket just right, on the bike as well.
My fiancé and I were in West Palm beach/Jupiter this past week and every time we were out and saw a bike, we were hoping by chance that it was you! (We are from Memphis, TN). 😂 Keep up the good work brother, we love watching your videos!
Ha! It was me. They’re all me.
None are you! You’re the silverback bro 😂😂. We find your channel very unique. You and shadetree suregeon are the only 2 Florida TH-camrs that we watch and we thoroughly enjoy both of you. We like how in depth you are on your different trips and experiences and day to day activities. We’ve been watching for a few months now and appreciate the content. Our dream is to ride our road glide to Sturgis!!! So awesome to hear back from you. Much lover brother and keep all the monkeys in line 😎
I like the magnet idea. You gave me an idea to try. Secure a holster in one of the bags somehow. I'd really like something I can reach in the front somehow.... On the fairing, or near the fuel tank, but not overly obvious. Unfortunately, I'm at one firearm at the moment, a Taurus 24/7 40 cal. Heavy! I had zero issues carrying on my small bike, but the sofa on wheels(Goldwing) is a bit more difficult to carry the beast in comfort, and concealed. I will be picking something smaller this year before any long trips happen
Never leaves my person but very informative great vid
My favorite things too. I carry an M&P Shield, 1911 Range Officer, G23. Good idea in the bag, may adopt it. Washington state is an open carry state.
I have a couple of stack on digital combo gun safes...for my vehicles I've never had to bit I suppose I could wrap the cables around my bag mounts when I need to secure it in a leather non locking saddlebags
I use a Sticky Holster with a .380 attached to the back of saddlebag.
That’s a great option to transport your handgun but in the event it were needed you’d be screwed due to the time it would take to draw. I carry everywhere. If I’m riding it’s in my cut pocket ready to go. I’m just not sure why anyone would carry and it not be readily available... respect to you and the video... just my 2C...
You missed what I said. I always have mine on me, but when you CANT, that’s how I store them.
Good common sense talk about an important topic. Personally, I don't want to have to reach into a saddlebag to acquire my piece.
In hot weather I don't wear a jacket (Georgia) and prefer not to open carry (it gives too much information) so I use a cross-shoulder manbag. Mine is leather, holds my cellphone, other small possibles and has a zippered pocket roomy enough for your G3, 17, BCC9, Beretta or 1911. The weight of the unit rides on my lap when in the saddle, so the shoulder strap rides weightless across my chest. I don't use a trigger guard since I can't really envision the possibility of the trigger being drawn all the way to the rear inadvertently.
The only drawback I see is the possibility of stupidly leaving the bag in a restaurant or bathroom. I leave the bag strap across my chest and shoulder in the first instance (again, the weight is on my lap) while dining. In the latter case, I make sure to hang the bag on the inside door of a stall-or on the doorknob if it is a private rest room.
I totally agree with your opinion about the 'best gun'; except I phrase it differently: "It is the gun you can put your hand to when you need it." Manbags are nice. The zipper for the large pocket (for your gun) is at the edge of the bag on the backside. I can unzip it surreptitiously if I think a situation looks like trouble and putting a hand inside the back side of the bag isn't nearly the giveaway that reaching for a waistband is. Amazon sold me mine for $15 some years ago.
I'm 80 if I can make it to Sunday and have been carrying on and off duty every day of my life since 1962, so I'm not just pulling these ideas out of my ass.
Ride safe and shoot low, they might be riding Shetlands.

ps. I own two G3's. The first thing I did was superglue the safeties. Problem solved.
Ooooo I like the idea of supergluing the safety, thanks!!!
My EDC is a Walther PPQ in a Crossbreed IWB at 3 o'clock. With the Crossbreed I can tuck my shirt in if I need to so no worries about concealment.
The title of this video jumped up and slapped me in the face because I asked myself the same question!
I have made several scabbard style leather holster out of leather with a belt clip on the back to hold it on the organizer like you have. If you need to carry it it will clip on your belt or your pants pocket.
I edc a shield 9 iwb or a bodyguard in a pocket holster, unless its obviously exposed most people are way to distracted to notice.
I like that paddle holster idea. I have both the front and side bag organizers so lots of holding options. The magnet on the back of the lid shouldn't interfere with the speakers
I got fat guy problems, so if it's going to be a long fuckn day I use a shoulder holster with level two retention. If it's going to be an on and off kinda day or I plan on hitting a spot that don't allow colors I opt for the appendix inside the waste band. But as you guessed being a heavier guy, that tends to sucks if you're hammering out 300+ miles in a day as we often do in Maine. I think on average I do about 80 miles to get, to the meet up location. By then in the appendix holster, I'm already itching to switch to the shoulder holster. As far as clubhouses go, I have to leave my key in the bike, because my key doesn't come out of the bag if it's unlocked. I tend not to worry about that so much because 9 times out of ten someone is one bike detail anyway. On that 10th time is a clubhouse I visit regularly and trust them anyway, so I know 100% my shits not going to wonder off.
For a small pistol in that pocket in the bag organizer a Sticky Holster would be perfect. Protects the trigger and if you need to draw it out the holster will stay in the pocket.
I carry my Glock 30SF on my belt in an cross draw OWB holster every where I ride in Mississippi. I try to keep my weapons concealed even though Mississippi is an open carry state.
Always carry my S&W Shield IWB in a Hidden Hybrid holster. Very comfortable and concealed.
From a friend former cop in New York :
Duct tape it between your shoulders.
Ha!!
Taurus G2 .40 in a custom leather holster at the 5 o'clock position. If it's going to be a long, hot ride the EDC may go in the saddlebag in a nylon holster clipped to the side. But again, in New Mexico, it's an open carry state, and many do.
I have a saddlebag holster that fits on the saddlebag bolt like you were talking about and I can easily reach it if I need it going down the road if you’re need it ain’t doing you no good in the tour pack ifyou need to reach it if you have to have it
I usually just wrap mine up in a towel and put it in the saddle bag
If you can find a badge that would fit one of the magnets on the bottom you could put a second one on the other side of a cover, it maybe hard on the paint and I think high heat will de-magnefy a magnet.
That moment your every day carry is actually a government model 1911. Then again I have a vest and a leather jacket that it fits into the pockets of plus I don’t mind carrying it exposed to the public just because most people don’t even see it anyway and in my state that is legal
I found myself buying my guns the same way. Budget myself $1,500.00. Instead of buying one gun, buy as many as I can and don't go over my budget. It's working so far.
It's more fun that way I think also?
@@ProfessionalMonkey Yes sir!
Colt .380 on me! Easy to conceal and handy when and if.
I got very lucky years ago, and stumbled across (really...had to do a double-take for it on the back counter at a pawn shop) a true Colt Compact Commander .45! Great price, size of an average .380...best pistol ever made (and why Colt stopped making them is beyond me...but they do make the Defender in .45 ACP still). I like my Ruger .45 Long Colt...but, well, that falls into the 'OMG, can you actually lift that?' perspective...but then again, it was the .454 Casull before Casull was born, too...
Damn, I used to have a Colt Officer, freaking loved that. I've had a couple Kimber Ultras also. I would really like to have a Defender for an EDC.
I rotate between a 1911 .45, springfield XD 4"9mm, and a sig 365. I pretty much exclusively use my kutte to carry, or Alien Gear's shoulder holster. On the rare occasion I need to stow my gun, or if I'm going to work, either my kutte gets rolled up and stowed in my locked bags, or the whole shoulder holster gets stowed. Never been a fan of leaving firearms loose anywhere, let alone my bags.
Google "slam fire shotgun". They are made from standard pipe and are easy and cheap to build. It's also easy to incorporate the sperate parts into the bike so they appear not to be gun parts. I keep mine in my tool bag as part of the tool roll. They are so cheap they are disposable and unrecognizable as gun parts when separate from each other. They are legal to build and have for personal use. You can't make and sell them to others. I was pulled over and searched including my tool roll getting taken apart without the officer realizing what he was looking at.
Dude, that's awesome!
I saw a company at a rally a few years ago that made a replacement side cover with a lockable door that held a "tool".
Now that would be awesome...
For the magnet, double side it first then use a couple dabs of epoxy adhesive to keep it in place. Just enough to keep it in place but not too much as to where you can't remove if necessary.
Great idea
Yippee! Dropped over to the local dealer (Space Coast), and who do I bump into? 10 of my shootin' buddies. Yay, Florida! Whining about being reduced to practicing with .22.
A Sig 365 fits nicely in my front pocket when riding.
