Leathers and CCW

Do any of you guys CCW in full leathers? How?

Hope you don't need it it in a hurry if you do! It would be better in a tank bag if you're in full leathers. Might could wear a shoulder rig under leathers but still have to unzip to get to it.

There might be a way to use a shoulder rig and take to your local leather man and have him do a velcro access panel mod. A good leather man would be able to do so without making it too terribly obvious what it is for.

Tankbag FTW. Carrying on your body just makes you more likely to get injured if you crash.

I try to ride in areas with out bears and bad guys.

I ride with it in the tank bag but that creates a few problems. You have to either leave it on the bike unattended if you go in side places (my tankbag is a bitch to get off the bike) If you get attacked by anyone and get knocked off the bike....no gun. And you still have to undo a zipper to get to it in your leathers or in the tank bag. I have not found a perfect option yet. I usually have it holstered in the tank bag then I tuck it in my jacket when I go inside places but then the jacket stays on which sucks.

I will say this, a G19 just fits in the chest pocket of a tecknic 1 piece suit. Although I would be scared to shoot myself. I've seen fanny packs that would work better

Yeah, I have a Glock 27. Maybe just a Safe-T-Block is all I need, throw it in the inside pocket.

Actually, maybe a pocket holster will do the trick. With my luck, I'd forget the Safe-T-Block is there. I like my guns to go bang when I pull the trigger, without much else involved.

I plan on mounting a SAW on the front of my bike when I get back.
