Carrying Concealed

[SDM]

I work nights ryding through some of the not nicest neighborhoods in the world. I have also taken trips out of town by myself. Need some wisdom from fellow ryders that carry. I am working towards getting my license and saving up to purchase a weapon. I am leaning towards a S & W Model 60, chambers either .38 or .357. Where do you carry? In a holster on your person, in a bag on top of the glove box, in a holder on top of the dash, etc.??? I know a revolver makes it not as easy to conceal. I hope and :pray: to not be in a situation that I would need it - however, the crap does occasionally hit the fan. Any suggestions and words of wisdom would be most welcome! :chat:

2" or 3" barrel? :dontknow:
Get the "Rounded Butt" version: it'll make the grip area a bit more compact.
Since I rarely tuck in my shirts; I'm a big fan of carrying a handgun in a "small of the back" style holster.
(Mine is from Galco)
My Colt 1911A-1 happily rides back there, and is virtually unnoticeable. :thumbup:

I would not carry a handgun in any sort of bag or other arrangement affixed to the bike, if your primary goal is to protect yourself or passenger from death or great bodily harm. If you are separated from the bike (say, for an example, as in a vehicular hijacking or some other attack that knocks or otherwise causes you to be off the bike), your handgun is worthless to you and may well fall into the hands of your assailant. A handgun properly and securely concealed on your person remains under your control and subject only to your commands. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that you are always fully compliant with the laws of any jurisdiction that you may be riding in.

While I'm also NOT a fan of packing the handgun away: Gloria LeMaster makes some gorgeous carry-concealed handbags...

Check with Galco, and see if they've got an "SOB" holster that'll work for you.


EDIT: I just checked Galco's site, and they don't offer an SOB holster for a 3" barreled J-Frame...

Here are our traveling companions of choice.

Hers (left) is a S&W .357 Magnum that she keeps in a slide holster belted around her waist.

Mine is a Sig Sauer 938 9 mm. I keep mine in the inside pocket of my leather jacket in cooler weather and in summer months in a waist holster that slides on my belt.

Both are lightweight although the S&W is a bit heavier. She also has LadySmith .38 that is a bit lighter but the kickback from a very light hand gun makes it hard for her to stay on target.

[MMMII]

My carry system of choice is a Glock 26 carried in my waist band. I prefer the horsehide crossbreed supertuck deluxe holster.

It's comfortable and doesn't print which is a ++++.

Something to think about, find a gun class that results in a Utah concealed permit, its good in 30+ states. I've carried for 30 years 99% on my body. I picked up a "specialty gun" that shoots a bullet that will tear off an arm if you hit them in the finger. Its only 4" long. I also have a 2" 38 near by.

[SPYD3R]

NO MOTORCYCLE RIDERS, TRUCK DRIVERS, etc. carry a weapon.....
ssssssssssh boy...

9mm semi-auto load if you happen to really need one... Kel-Tec PF9 is a good one... with a 'belt clip'.... but heck, i'm just guessing here.....

The only problem with the Utah (which I had) is that I cannot renew unless I have a CCW from my home state. Thus, I just gave up on the Utah one and went and got my MO one.

If you can handle the kickback, go for the 357. Or try using the 38 special in your 357...(some can handle both)

I have found that this http://www.sneakypeteholsters.com/ is the best holster for all around use. I tuck the plug end of my ear buds under the flap and it looks like a big phone case. I have one sized for Kahr PM9 and another for the XD40 Sub Compact that also fits the Taurus .357 snub nose DAO.

Just carry whichever one you can shoot the best; the round itself is only a secondary concern... :thumbup:

[ulflyer]

I've been at it for 60 years and here's my thoughts: If you've not done any/much shooting you need to go to a range where they rent guns and try out several types to see what feels best to you. If necessary, get someone there to tutor you a bit. I wouldn't suggest starting out with a heavy weapon unless you are certain you can carry that comfortably all day.

Then consider how you want to carry it. I use OWB as about anything bigger than a tiny 380 sags my pockets too much. If you use OWB holster, get a wide stiff belt. Makes it way more comfortable.

For a newbi, a revolver is hard to beat. Its gonna fire every time you pull the trigger. Most autoloaders do too, but can
be more problematic for beginners.

I carried a Ruger LCR 38spl for a good while....very light, can shoot +P bullets. Stings the hand, even with regular loads, but does the job. A five shot, very lightweight, about 17 oz. ABout $350.

I recently transitioned back into autoloaders. Lots of excellent ones out there. One I used was a Ruger LC9s...a 9mm, 17oz empty, fires any bullet without fail, right out of the box. Hard to beat product. About $360.

I'm currently carrying, at various times, 3 Kahr's: a 380, 9mm, 45acp. Holds 7, 8, 7 bullets. About 12, 17 & 21 oz empty. I like their long smooth trigger. They are not for everyone and can be problematic until they've been shot a lot to break-in. I had no issues with any of mine, but a few folks do. Each of these cost from $340-375 approx.

Another outstanding 9mm also in the 17oz range is the S&W Shield. Gets rave reviews on gun forums. About $360 also.

Same weight but less expensive and gets good reviews is the Bursa Thunder 380. Made in Argentina or Brazil I think. Under $300. Find used for $250 or less.

Don't underestimate the 380. It will penetrate gelatin 8-10 inches. I can carry mine all day and not know its there. The 9mm carry's well too but you know you've got more weight and have to hitch the belt a notch tighter.

Get on Highroad gun forum and start reading up. Go to gun shows and fondle the products.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

One thing to add to this thread is once you get your gun and permit, don't forget to get some frequent range time in.

I'm going to a place called Quickshot. Shot the .38/.357 Saturday. Will try the semi auto this coming Saturday. The reason for the revolver is: The hubby (Tobor 9) had a semi auto that he was plinking with one day. He pulled the trigger and it went full auto on him!!!:yikes: Pretty much scared the crap out of him. Of course, that was a long time ago and things have changed since then in the use of materials.

[Mad Mac]

When my wife and I travel,I carry(were I'm legal)and even when alone, a 9mm S&W M&P sheild in a soft IWB BLACKHAWK #1 holster. Problem I worry about is being in a crash and being thrown due to the fact that this holster is very comfortable wearing my riding gear but has no retention device and heaven forbid someone else finds my weopon. No problems as of yet and I hope it stays that way. Good Luck and Stay Safe!

[DJFaninTN]

the real answer is carry whatever you feel comfortable with and that you have qualified with. then practice, practice and more practice.

if you looking a semi's then I'd look at Glock or S&W M&P. I owned a lot of guns over the years. I loved my Glocks ... well until I ended up getting a S&W Shield in 9mm. I really, really like this gun and it's hard to beat the price. IMO it's far superior to the Ruger LC9 (which I owned for about 3 months before selling it). It is super easy to carry concealed.

as far as holsters you need to try several before you find one that you like. whether you are going IWB (inside the waist band) or OWB (outside the waist band). while the weather is nice and cold, I am always wearing a jacket so I have opted for going with a shoulder holster while riding. In the warmer months I normally go with an OWB and just leave my shirt tail out or wear a banded bottom shirt. for work I normally go with an IWB because my shirt is tucked in. you have to learn how to dress while carrying and it does take some practice. you also have to decide if you want leather, kydex or a hybrid (combination of both).

and once you get your holster then you need to go to the range and practice using it. remember you are most likely going to be in a sitting position while on the bike and that changes how you may draw your gun.

one last thing I will tell you. buy yourself a REAL belt to support your holster. if you go cheap then you are going to hate carrying because it will not be comfortable. I have one gun belt that I've had now for 10 years and I wear it several times a week. It still looks great. might want to check out thebeltman.net to see what I am talking about.

An earlier response mentioned the Sig Sauer P938 9MM. I would agree with this choice or a Beretta PX4 Storm 9MM. I have both of these pistols.

[Roadster Renovations]

I will say this: I try to avoid areas where trouble can occur, but that is not always possible. I have been trying to come up with some "goodies".
I have two items of interest for personal protection in the works. One is a means to carry concealed and have access right at hand and the other is a non lethal force option. I'll post more when we get things ready! I am especially excited about the non-lethal option.

My .380 Ruger fits perfectly in the spyder front cubby. I used this for long trips. Just don't forget to take it out, :)

[Orange Spyder Man]

I have had my CCW permit for over 40 years... I carry either a Glock 26 in a Galco ankle holster or a Glock 19 inside my waistband in a KingTuk holster depending on my attire & weather... I strongly recommend if you plan to carry... do it 24/7 and everywhere that it is legal.. and be dam sure you can proficiently shoot your weapon..... your life and the life of your love ones will depend on your ability to eliminate a threat... the 2nd thing I put on in the morning is my weapon... and it is the last thing I take off at night ... I shoot over 2,000 rounds a month.. I participate in competition shooting matches every weekend so I hit what I shoot at..
Oh.. forgot to add one more thing... ALWAYS have a round in the chamber... an unloaded pistol is just a rock !! it takes about 2 to 3 seconds to rack a round in the chamber.. those few seconds may determine if you live or your assailant lives !
Happy Hunting !

My preferred method of carry is a shoulder holster, under my riding vest. That way, the gun is always in my possession, not on or in my Spyder, and possibly accessible to someone else, like an aggressor. I have a 2" barrel S&W Model 15 for this purpose . . . and because I like wheel guns.

I take a Ruger LCP .380 with me every day. Most often in a pocket holster and inside my coat. In the summer it slips nicely into my back pocket. Double action semi-automatic. No safety but comfortable carrying chambered because of the deep trigger pull.

I also have the S&W model 60 - love it but extremely heavy; Model 19 Glock - won't carry chambered; and Springfield .45 Ultra Compact 1911 - I don't trust remembering the safety in a pressure situation. The LCP with hot loads is my choice. ...Don

P.S. I don't carry a chunk of steel in the small of my back after learning that an acquaintance broke his back after being thrown.

For those of you that carry concealed, we have a travel bag that we are now offering that has a concealed pocket and fits perfectly on the RT dash, between dash and windshield. We tested this setup in 16 States last year and it worked perfect. Easily detachable from the bike with both a carrying handle or a shoulder strap, it allowed me to carry my valuables and my electronic goodies away from the bike if we were stopping to visit something or getting something to eat. It even has a quick access area you can get to with gloves on that you can get toll money out. Made it super easy. We buy these from Targus and my wife does several hours of sewing to make them "Spyder-friendly. I will post a link as soon we get a few ready to sell.

If you carry:
1) make sure you get trained in combat shooting--start on a target range then go to a combat range.
2) make sure you shoot and re-train regularly. Ability to shoot is not like riding a bicycle--it takes constant practice.
3). Make sure you have it in your head that you can kill another person--not everyone can--and if you can't, there is no shame--just don't get a gun because someone will take it away from you an use it on you.
4) combat changes you, you must be prepared for that.
5). A small caliber gun is easier to handle than a large caliber--especially at the short distances in a combat situation. However, they do not make you feel as macho. A gun is a tool. A gun is not a statement.
6) decide if you might be better off with pepper spray. Remember you are unlikely to be assaulted--even in bad neighborhoods, and when you are monpving, ie. Not stopped at red lights, the liklihood of an assault drops even more.
7). By the way, did I stress training enough. Merely because someone was an excellent shot 15 years ago doesn't mean he is today.
8). If you get in a combat situation, make sure to watch the background where most of your bullets will end up--you probably don't want to injure a bystander.

​Good post. 8 out of 10 people are in more danger when they carry. They feel secure when they carry but hesitate to use or not sure they should use it. If you are going to carry make sure you can make split decisions without hesitation and know when to unholster the gun. Make sure you are in imminent danger and there is no other way out before pulling the trigger. Reality remains could you actually shoot another person? Food for thought.

No permit is required to carry concealed in Arizona now. I still keep my permit active as I have for 45 years because of recip. out of state.

I carry a Ruger LCP 380 in a nice little pocket holster which I keep in my right jeans pocket. The handle sticks out of my pocket a little, but I leave my tee shirt untucked and it covers it. It's a small weapon, but I keep it loaded with critical defense rounds. On those rare occasions when I have to go into a place with one of those "No Weapons Allowed" signs, I just lock it in my trunk.

Do not carrie any pistol till you have spent a lot of time at the range. Get completely familuar with the safty cocking and shooting. If you have never target practiced with a pistol you are in for a shock. I care a sig p938 9mm all the time in front pocket. It is the smallest 9mm if you practice you can get very good to 10 or 12 yards. And farther you needa 3 to 4 inch barrel dending on individuals capability.

[gkamer]

You carry it on your person. A gun is of absolutely no value or use when you have it in the trunk, in a bag (no matter how close that bag may be to you). The only logical place to carry it is in a holster on your person. If a situation has escalated to the point where you need to defend yourself, you don't want to be fumbling around trying to open some stupid bag. A semi-automatic has the advantage of holding more rounds in the magazine. Notice I didn't say bullets or clip. If you're going to carry a firearm, make yourself familiar with the correct terminology. A revolver, while not holding as many rounds as a semi-auto, is almost jam proof.

I too now carry non-lethal along with a gun. A flashlight that is a stun gun too and pepper spray, that shoots a stream 15-20 feet. Even if you are totally in the right too many anti-gun people on the juries. I will use the option if I feel they will work enough to stop the problem.

Laser sighted S&W 38 with the "right " ammo in a Crossbreed mini-tuck. comfortable, does not print with the Crimson trace small grip. I like a wheel gun--- no jam---- ever, no safety ( on or off???) Hard to beat the S&W single action trigger.

Its not against the law to carry in most 'gun free' zones, and the ones that it is, i.e. courthouses etc, will have a check point set up where you can leave your weapon as you enter. In that case, we leave them in the vehicle.

I load those Critical Defense rounds in the Ruger 380 that I carry. I've seen demos of what they can do. Would not want to be on the receiving end.....

Like most gun owners I've got a tote full of holsters that were "the solution". I keep falling back to a simple inexpensive Kydex holster, I carry my 1911 Colt Defender in one, my Sig P238, or my J frame S&W. The are light weight, easy to draw from and I usually wear a vest to cover them or a shirt over a t-shirt. My Keltec 380 rides in my front pocket or a Sneaky Pete style holster. Take a class, it'll scare the hell out of you when you learn of the consequences of pulling your weapon even if you're justified. SD has open carry, but I'm not comfortable advertising "Shoot me first".

I bought the Curve in early May and have carried it since. I have the one with the laser and flashlight, love it, it shoots well and the laser was accurate "out of the box".
Carried it on a 2,000 mile trip to Spyder Fest and back, and a 1,000 mile trip to PA. This is a very comfortable CC piece.

Ruger LCP 380, North American Arms Sidewinder .22 magnum, S&W 38 revolver. My current favorite is the .22 mag because it's so small. I figure I'd probably only use it when the threat is really close and it would be useful there. I have several carry options depending on what I'm going to wear.

I don't know if they're still available; but Gloria LeMaster used to offer some very nice handbags that were designed for concealed-carry...
The Missus has a pair of them. They even have reinforced carrying straps that won't get busted, if some mutt tries to pull the bag out of your hands.

There are several carry purses out there. My Sidewinder fits in an eye-glasses case in my purse! I have a carry purse, too, but, if possible, I prefer to carry on my person.

I carry a H&K USP Compact, and sometimes a Sig P320 Subcompact. My wife carries a Sig P226.

No matter what you decide to carry, it needs to be something that YOU feel comfortable with shooting, and that your proficient with.

Everyone seem to have their favorites and why they like them. There are so many different pistols/revolvers on the market, and so many different ways to carry them. Hope you find something that you really enjoy shooting.

I would suggest that you find a local range that allows you to rent pistols so you can find something that you really enjoy shooting. That way you don't purchase something and later figure out that it's not what you really want to shoot.

I always carry, regardless on Spyder or truck, and it's usually a FiveseveN but I do carry an FNX 45 tac with TLR-2 and RMR from time to time. Big, yes, but wearing the proper clothing to accommodate it, it works. IWB is the style of holster I prefer to use, normally 3 - 4 position.

[RTDillon1960]

I've been at it for 60 years and here's my thoughts: If you've not done any/much shooting you need to go to a range where they rent guns and try out several types to see what feels best to you. If necessary, get someone there to tutor you a bit. I wouldn't suggest starting out with a heavy weapon unless you are certain you can carry that comfortably all day.

Then consider how you want to carry it. I use OWB as about anything bigger than a tiny 380 sags my pockets too much. If you use OWB holster, get a wide stiff belt. Makes it way more comfortable.

For a newbi, a revolver is hard to beat. Its gonna fire every time you pull the trigger. Most autoloaders do too, but can
be more problematic for beginners.

I carried a Ruger LCR 38spl for a good while....very light, can shoot +P bullets. Stings the hand, even with regular loads, but does the job. A five shot, very lightweight, about 17 oz. ABout $350.

I recently transitioned back into autoloaders. Lots of excellent ones out there. One I used was a Ruger LC9s...a 9mm, 17oz empty, fires any bullet without fail, right out of the box. Hard to beat product. About $360.

I'm currently carrying, at various times, 3 Kahr's: a 380, 9mm, 45acp. Holds 7, 8, 7 bullets. About 12, 17 & 21 oz empty. I like their long smooth trigger. They are not for everyone and can be problematic until they've been shot a lot to break-in. I had no issues with any of mine, but a few folks do. Each of these cost from $340-375 approx.

Another outstanding 9mm also in the 17oz range is the S&W Shield. Gets rave reviews on gun forums. About $360 also.

Same weight but less expensive and gets good reviews is the Bursa Thunder 380. Made in Argentina or Brazil I think. Under $300. Find used for $250 or less.

Don't underestimate the 380. It will penetrate gelatin 8-10 inches. I can carry mine all day and not know its there. The 9mm carry's well too but you know you've got more weight and have to hitch the belt a notch tighter.

Get on Highroad gun forum and start reading up. Go to gun shows and fondle the products.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Go rent several guns and see what you like. I carry a Ruger SP101. 5 shots, 357. Hurts to shoot but does the job well. Easily concealed and does not make me walk in circles. Best Wishes.

Only pistols I can enjoy shooting clay pigeons with. Perfect for home defense, or 4wheeler snake gun.(IMHO) with right 410load (say #6bird shot) you have a 20" spread @3' away. Fyi & newer antipersonnel rounds are brutal. Standard 410 slug -expected, 00buck 3shot- mean, zombie round & RIP Rounds-yet to test. 45LC-expensive & expected. Also judge has smaller grip so comfy for lady shooters. Just beware the sound (loudest firearms I own (currently) FYI recoil is par with a 45, watching target explode well heh :)

Unless you're just really into weapons my thoughts are a couple of things...First, too heavy and too big is a pain in the ass...I carry a Taurus .380 which is light, easy to carry, inexpensive to fire and very accurate in the right hands. Second, while there's something to be said for the noise factor if you ever had to fire the thing, just pulling the weapon is all you're likely ever to do.

[aeroshots]

[QUOTE= I hope and :pray: to not be in a situation that I would need it - however, the crap does occasionally hit the fan. Any suggestions and words of wisdom would be most welcome! :chat:[/QUOTE]

Prepare mentally to use and, just as important, no to use your weapon.

I've asked many folks that carry what they would do in different threatening scenarios. Most are way too quick in separating the weapon from leather thinking that is the only action needed to resolve an issue when in fact that action can escalate the problem. And, way too many others are way too premature in discharging the weapon.

I'm not going to pontificate too much here, but just be mentally prepared and trained beyond the physical handling of the weapon. There is great responsibility and liability at play being armed with a deadly weapon.

Last week My mother in law discovered that I carry. She was spending a few days up to camp with us, and while I don't carry when out and about in the campground, i grab it when we go to the store ect. She was shocked, and asked why. Of course I gave her the standard reasons, but what shocked her was my answer to her question what would I do if someone started shooting in the store? I guess she expected me to say I'll run up and shoot the guy, but when I explained my priority is myself and my family, I said I'd look for a way out, or a place to hide, and when and only when we were in immediate danger, I would defend myself.

Of course every situation is different, but I guess what im trying to say, is just because you have a weapon, look for other options before pulling your gun.

After coming out of the military I went for years and didn't carry...head game on my part...but, I have a friend that has an "adult toy store" in Florida that was robbed at gunpoint. Both he and a cashier were put on the floor in the store by a masked robber. The robber was so confident he carried out a bag of loot and told them to stay put. My friend was carrying at the time and as soon as the robber left the store he jumped up, pushed the silent alarm and pulled his weapon, a .25 revolver. When the robber reentered he began firing at him and was fired back upon. None of the shots hit anything although the distance between them was less than 20 feet.

So some things here stand out to me and were pointed out by the investigating officers. First, it's very possible the robber would have shot both my buddy and the clerk because he really had no reason to reenter the store. Second, not many shots fired hit anyone on purpose because of the adrenaline pumping though unless someone is very well trained. Third, the officer told my friend to get more weapon. As I first said to him, in that kind of situation you don't want a pop gun (although a pop gun can sure kill you), you want him to crap his pants as soon as that weapon is discharged and if you hit him you want him to go down from where ever you do hit him. It takes some weight plus velocity to accomplish that when everything is pumping through the crook too.

Bottom line is my friend now carries at least a 9mm and sometimes a .45. He was lucky the first time and now hits the range once a week.

GOT MY CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT YESTERDAY

In the afternoon, I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a small 9mm handgun for home/personal protection.


When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.
​ ​
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader!!!
​ ​
As an intelligent senior citizen, I do not get flustered often. But this time, it took me a while to get my pants back on.
​
I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear.

I still don't think I looked that bad!
