A $30,000 motorcycle and you carry a FOBUS??? [smilie=icon_eek.gif]

$25k, and sometimes yes. Depends on which gun, and how carried.

I'm deeply saddened it doesn't meet your approval. Please see my signature for further info.

I used to carry a Fobus and have taken a few spills with it and not lost my gun. Now I use Blackhawk active retention holsters. That photo above was taken on a day when I probably fell off a good 20x. Not a scratch on my P220.

He is carrying it wrong, he needs to carry it slung muzzle down, that way he can slide it around and use it if needed. I guess he is new to OC.

I'm not sure how well any particular type of holster would do especially if you are wearing gloves. I am considering an ankle holster for my M&P40c or maybe a shoulder holster?. I ride a sport bike and feel like my usual iwb holster wouldn't be too comfortable especially moving around on the canyon roads. Any opinions? My current iwb is a Crossbred Super Tuck.


I carry an XDM9 and use a CompTac Minotaur IWB at about the 4-4:30 position and don't find it overly intrusive on my riding style, even when steering with my body a lot (shifting side to side, hanging off a, er, "little," etc. [smilie=icon_mrgreen.gif] ). Given the natural position one assumes on a sportbike, I DO think it prints a bit more, but if you're wearing gear like a good little rider should :D , it'll cover it up just fine.

It's funny though... People can't see a 400-800 lb. motorcycle but strap a 2 lb. pistol to your belt and suddenly you're visible!


Yes, I've noticed that too. Suddenly no one tailgates me or tries to "merge" their car with me.

when i ride atv's, i change between open carry on my belt, or a drop leg holster. When i ride in my rzr, the belt holster is very uncomfortable, so i find that a drop leg works the best for me.

Standard hip OWB or IWB.

A bike mount is of no use to me because my strong hand is always going to be using throttle or brake, and I suck at offhand shooting.

Some old Indian (?) cop bikes from back in the day had their throttles on the left handgrip IIRC so the coppers could skin a smokewagon while chasin' the bad guys.
