Those chest rigs look pretty nice, I will have to look into them more.  Thanks for all the responses.

Several pro-gun guys and I used to do 7-12 day trips in various parts of the country (before I got really busy!) and moving through states that allowed carry was a big deal when picking routes. In fact, I remember the big show we put on just outside the gate of Yellowstone breaking our guns down (on the way in) and putting them back together (on the way out) because of the old National Park rules....

Generally, I would compromise down to a smaller pistol when on the MC unless open carry was a viable option (legally and practically). A Tomcat 32 or Glock subcompact in the chest pocket (with holster) of a heavy leather jacket was common. I also used off-body carry with full size guns in a magnetic pack that rested on the tank of my bike somewhat frequently. For open carry, cross-draw made more sense than anything else....

one thing is for sure, you really don't want to go down on your gun.  you will ruin the gun... I mean its going to do alot more damage.


You really don't want to land on a big block of steal...

Safepacker is the best I have come up with so far, either on the belt or in a tankbag (with easy transfer to the belt when off the bike).

As a guy that rides dirtbikes (badly), I know I want nothing in my pockets or on my belt when (not if) I go down.
"Why are you carrying a pistol?  Expecting trouble?"

"No Maam.  If I was expecting trouble, I'd have a rifle."

Tim,

I think HE was being sarcastic in the original comment.....

I know that when I high-sided my Duc I wasn't thinking about anything "important".... I was shirtless, no helmet and my natural reactions  combined with a decent/lucky tuck & roll kept me from getting much more than some road rash on my right arm and back and significant soreness for a couple of days. The last thing I would've WANTED to do at that moment was worry about securing a gun! And it might have been good that nothing other than the pavement was banging against my body.....
