CCW Carry option

[Davidk]

As a professional gun writer and instructor, I have seen LOTS of holsters. I have not found a perfect solution to bike carry. A lot depends on what clothing you wear.

If you wear a projective jacket (even in summer) the fastest access would be a proper shoulder holster.

Ankle holster works well on a bike for small guns if you wear it on the strong side rather than the traditional support side. Unless, you wear boots which are too big to fit an ankle holsters.

Problem with this is that the gun is at a very poor angle which makes it hard to grip and the strap is a major problem. You have to first undo the Velcro strap to reach the gun then grip the gun without the strap getting in the way. Slow and ungainly with a high probability of the strap getting in the way.

OWB and IWB hosters such as the CrossBreed work, but it might be slow to draw depending on what type of protective clothing you wear.

The SneekyPete looks interesting, but I have not had a chance to try it. The draw technique in the video may not be the best, but it might be the shooter not the SneekyPete.

A fanny pack off to the side works as well if you don’t mind wearing a fanny pack. It does not bother me. Be sure to get one that tightly holds your gun rather than just using a loose holster inside. They have a nasty habit of guns falling out when you open the fanny pack.

While I have not tried the Urban Carry, it looks to be a very similar concept to others that I have tried. I sincerely doubt that it will work in everyday use any where close as well as in the sales video, especially when sitting. I expect that you will have to wear your pants pretty loose in order to get your hand in quickly.

In terms of draw time, do NOT discount the need for very quick draws. I have numerous seen videos of gunfights where quick draws were necessary.

Also, I am not fond of any two-handed draws. Your support hand may be injured, blocking, striking, arm wrapping, holding back kids, pulling your girlfriend out of the fight, pushing your wife into the fight, etc. One-handed draw is always best.

Winner of best paragraph !!!

You got my point, but I think you missed the joke

Here's a recent example of needing a quick draw:

Okay...Why is no one dead? Point blank range and no one on the ground? The video above this one with the couple waiting on the door doesn't look real either. Although one perp is on the ground, the women would have been pissing herself and someone would have come out of the door.

Having a weapon and the ability is paramount. Choosing to engage is a whole life time of second guessing. In a post long ago I stated if Zimmerman had it to do over would he have engaged. My answer is no but hell no. Kinda like CPR, if I do not know you I will not be swapping spit with you. I will do everything possible to get you help but no first base. JMO

Everyone "thinks" they will react in a certain fashion. Only by being tested will the answer come. You can practice till you buy Wal Mart out of ammo but pulling the trigger on someone is a whole other story. The majority will freeze, spray bullets or just piss their pants. Just sayin!

Adrenalin my friend. Plus Brazil is a drug ridden country, thus the high crime rate. Thugs were looking for drug cash, not retirement funds so they may have been high on something. First shot most likely connected with the dude, but the second looks like it whizzed over the second thug head. You can go a long way on that adrenalin. That's why you need the two to the chest and one to the melon drill.

I wear a vest when I carry that has a special made pocket
that fits any frame of handgun, also having an elastic band to slide the bbl-receiver into, keeping it from swimming around in the pocket.

Some call them a "Club" vest.
My SOP's nephews call them a crew vest.

I call it functional.

Amazon, about 60-70 bucks for regular sizes.
I also have several conceal holsters, but this is the quickest access for me.

Crossbreed Supertuck in Horsehide, the ugliest most comfortable IWB holster.

+1 I've tried a good cross section of what's available for CCW. The Crossbreed Minituck in horsehide is the best I've found for my Sig P938 and S&W Shield. For pocket carry, I have come to favor the Recluse. Top notch in all regards. And I use and like the Sneaky Pete but am cautious with the draw. I carry all the time, every day, and if limited to two holsters for my carry guns, they would be the Crossbreed Minituck and the Recluse. I carry nothing larger than the Sig P938 or S&W Shield because I don't want my attire to prevent me from carrying. And in this crazy state of California, I can't afford to print even though I do have a CCW.
