Hey folks, I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I thought I'd ask you guys. I'm planning on finally getting my CCW in the next month and doing a bunch of fire-road exploring on my new dual-sport. Any thoughts on where/how to carry while on the bike?

First off, what type size pistol?

I would suggest a shoulder or chest holster. A hip or behind the back holster would place the pistol in an unfortunate spot in the event of a get off. some shoulder holsters also have flaps to help protect the pistol.

 

[VeloceMoto]

Whoops, forgot to mention that. It'll be my Glock 19.

And tangential to this topic... What condition would you guys carry? Two? One?

This seems to generally open up a can of worms with the CCW folks, but I'm asking anyway.

 

[Ratters]

What are you carrying for? If it's people just carry one. You can hold 15 rounds in the thing for cripes sake. If for bears, carry a bigger gun. Just carry a couple back up magazines. And since it's 9mm don't skimp on the ammo, get something decent like Corbons or Black Talons. Yeah, and a shoulder holster sounds like the ticket.

9mm's are so girly - get a real handgun. Personally a fan of the semi-auto 357. You can actually kill something with it. I've seen a half dead whitetail deer take nearly a full 9mm clip before dieing. Humans ain't much better.

Maybe the shooter should practice his shooting 9mm hollow points are just fine for killing things

 

[Honey Badger]

Not sure if they were allowed to carry hollowpoints - trust me, he got teased endlessly, but in all honesty it wasn't his fault....

I still prefer something with some kick.

 

[Eisernkreuz]

I prefer people who know how to shoot all calibers hydrashok ammo rules

 

[Honey Badger]

I'm actually a pretty good shot with an M60 -

"Pinpointed" tires on a jeep - don't remember the exact yardage - you could see the tires (obviously), but it was hard to hear them blow out....so it was aways....

 

[Eisernkreuz]

Like I said, all calibers

then sit back and

Good job Miran.

Now I can play out the cold war in my house

I'm actually a fan of light artillery

Yeah, I figure all the forest critters will more or less leave me alone when they hear the cacophony that is the XR650R with a Big Gun exhaust system.

I'm not too concerned with bears... but from what I gather, anything shy of a shotgun is futile. Bear spray actually seems to be the best deterrent; already have some of that.

Good call on the ammo. I figure any of those self defense rounds-- from Gold Dots to Hydrashoks and the two you mention --are all great, right?

That 2nd one is a cool setup!

Regarding the shoulder holsters... how do you manage one of those under a motorcycle jacket? Seems like it might be cumbersome to access quickly?
