How to Carry a Gun on a Motorcycle

[@Texan_American]

Motorcycles and guns, life is good.

[@MineEngineer]

I really like my Hill People Gear Kit bag. I have a universal holster that fits my kydex holsters clips so they can be secured in the bag quickly even when using different holsters and firearms.

[@wiryone1]

Same here. HPG Kit Bag.

[@mrmcd1111]

Hill people gear absolutely great chest rig

[@PappaLitto]

Finally a video on this topic. I've been riding with a shoulder holster for years with a glock 20. Didn't know so many others were doing the same

[@raptorchris1]

I wish you went deeper into concealed carry options. With the exception of off body tankbag, every other option was open carry.

[@timryan4711]

The way the world is going, carry everyday, everywhere you can. Excellent video with great info.

[@sociopathmercenary]

I live in rural Ohio. People still rarely lock their doors because the Amish don't do home invasions.

[@MamacrackerJ]

I’m in full support for more motorcycle content

[@Dennisthemenace40]

This is an excellent example of how Nutn’ keeps coming up with fresh content, even after more than a decade of videos. Something to consider for left hand gun use is to practice controlling your bike with the throttle hand only. Being able to shift up and down without the clutch is a vital skill as well as mastering the front brake. The only thing you won’t be able to do is come to a complete stop and take off again. That’s about the only time I use the clutch anymore.

[@garageliving3658]

@Dennisthemenace40 me being a lefty I think it's an advantage to a degree if I ever had to shoot from the bike. Pretty positive it would never happen but fun to think about

I duct tape mine to the front fender. that way when I crash and go over the handlebars the gun is handy.

[@PincheBuzo]

I would use gaffer tape, but you do you, man.

[@JimYeats]

I learned how to carry a gun on a motorcycle thanks to Sons of Anarchy. All of their techniques are solid.

[@PincheBuzo]

If you're not carrying at the 5 o'clock in your sagged jeans, are you really carrying?

[@rmikel14789]

Good point on left hand carry for a bike.

[@pappaclutch3266]

I already have the chest mount, but I’ve never considered a drop down until this video. Now I’m thinking chest when in the dirt and drop down while in the street. Thank you.

[@poisonousnut]

just got into riding. bought a lil xr150. been great to learn on. and i use a shoulder holster.

[@teon1322]

“It depends who’s body” 😂 🤣

[@1911GreaterThanALL]

People carry firearms for things that are mostly unforeseen. If you are getting road rage and you stop off to fill your bike up you can't really get away really quickly. Guns are for the unknown.

[@mikes.8823]

you guys had my heart back in 08 what ever happened to the OG gun guys on youtube?

[@mikes.8823]

nutn convinced my dad to buy me a glock 19 back then!! hahaha i miss it

[@Kq4hcuDan]

I wholeheartedly agree, and i like being ambidextrous. I can see equally holstering from both hands. I also enjoy cross carry.

[@BlackMetalSchecter]

Good to see shawn back in action

[@0BAAC0]

I don't have a bike - always wanted one - but I love these videos.

[@reddirtadv393]

Love the motorcycle vids Nutn! Keep them coming.

[@The-BCC]

I think a Fanny pack, like a tight chute product is a pretty solid choice. The magnetic holster system can accommodate basically all models of guns, you can have it in the back when riding a sport bike with a one piece leather suit, or in the front with standard seating position and when you stop it’s easy to take off your gear and blend in with everyone else and stay concealed carry the whole time.

[@ethanarias2911]

I used to doordash on a bike, I always had a taurus G2C tucked into one of my jacket pockets, it didnt print and I could get a grip on it without it being obvious. Handy in the sketchier neighborhoods I delivered to

[@scotscottscottt]

The Safariland is great, but check out the Tek-Mount holster system. Similar concept but you can very easily rotate your holster 360 degrees on the fly, so you can cant it way forward and lock it in place to be upright while riding.

[@GiosueMannino]

I always carry with a shotgun in a scabbard across my back

[@aricmoto]

I just keep mine in my dominant hand jacket pocket, second mag in support hand pocket; good old KelTec PF9. LOVE the moto content, always have! I watched the old feature length FJR review again the other day just bc.

[@gorbalsboy]

Happy fourth tou you and the family big chap, I wish you all the best for the rest of the year, ❤️

[@vladimirmusicchannel323]

Sean on the Crf doing a drive by was hilarious. Lmao

[@FOX1RR]

Great review and content. I've been using a Blackhawk fanny pack, which allows me to place all my other essentials in there as well. It works, but I really like the idea of the drop-down off-hand rigs. Gonna give that a stron look. Thanks again!

[@kennethreynolds8]

Thanks for the great ideas guys.

[@BruteForce.]

awesome good stuff. wish we could see more of that canik holster. Thanks

[@jeffreyporras3839]

I always carry whether in my Tahoe or on my triumph bonneville. Just like American Express don’t leave home without it.

[@micahmcfaul5994]

I run a 5.11 tactical skyweight utility chestpack. It's light, easy to access, I can keep TQ's in it and it will probably stay on if you dump the bike.

[@TheFoxyt2]

Tried serpa. Too sandy/wet. Ran hill people chest pouch. Too hot. Love Vertx Fanny pack with kydex plate to protect me on crashes. Home made trigger guard. Works great hard enduro and adv. Timbersled I use hill people.

[@williamiverson]

i love you brother .. no bones .. salute ..

[@Kq4hcuDan]

Im a avid cyclist and regularly carry as well when, im not riding motorcycles

[@thomasowens3135]

I was thinking as I was watching the intro to this, rare I know. Nevertheless, I thought I’ve been watching TNP since my early 20’s and now I’m 40. And then I thought, does TNP have more video content than any other person on the internet? Think of the hours of videos over the years. Kinda wild.

[@thomashowardmd247]

I'm thinking cavalry style, butt forward, on the left might be the way to go. Typically, I carry appendix which is comfortable on the bike, concealed, and accessible by either hand.

[@daftnord4957]

Cool didnt know you were in to adv biking. I've been doing some successful backroads exploration in South dakota. Good gravel and dirt can be found. If you're ever in the north I'd sure hit some trails with you

[@Enough_Tumbleweed]

Pepper gel is a better option over spray in my opinion. Its not as "area effective", it requires some degree of accuracy, but it nearly eliminates any blow back unless youre literally locked up and face to face with someone.

[@WY_Circus_Freak]

pocket holster in the right hand inside chest pocket on my leather jacket. simple, unassuming, effective. no need to overcomplicate it.

[@Montana_lifestyle]

I have been carrying a Blackhawk omnivore holster setup for the streamlight TLR with a Beretta 92X with 20rnd mag. (Riding duel sport or hard enduro out in the back country)

[@PincheBuzo]

Today years old when i realized what the vent on a Goldwing windscreen is actually for.

[@cupajoe7258]

@nutnfancy what's your opinion on Ural from a second kind of cool perspective and the other things that need to be considered for a commuter and adventure perspective.

[@CRM08]

The owl is on the shed 🦉

[@Tenright77]

Global, Adventure Touring, still alive on YT..."Charly Sinewan", and "Itchy Boots" (7 Seasons) >Channels. Thanks TNP...

[@ThanatosDMC]

Love the motorcycle adventure videos. 👍👍👍

[@Highway9mm]

I’d rock an inconspicuous micro chest rig, dorky fanny pack or onna those motorcycle drop leg pouches that can accommodate a typical iwb taco holster.

[@TheOVprodigy]

I just carry my HK P30 or P30sk in my regular appendix iwb and it works fine. I don’t put a lot of stock in the idea of shooting weak hand and throttling right hand, I’m just not going to do it. It’s more for when I get off the bike or maybe when I’m stopped and then I have to make the decision to draw and shoot or get the hell out of there like you mentioned

[@sociopathmercenary]

I think I'd be more likely to switch the throttle to the left

[@TheOVprodigy]

@@sociopathmercenary if you could clutch and throttle with the same hand that would be much better. If you are stopped and a dude jumps out and tries to kill you, how are you going to shoot with your left and throttle away with your right hand without using the clutch? It just doesn’t make sense

[@TheOVprodigy]

They are imply a scenario where you’d be moving at cruising speed, while firing off shots and continuing to throttle away. Certainly possible, but only 1 scenario, and I think it’s a little crazy to give up your strong had preference for just 1 scenario that you probably could just throttle out of anyway

[@markwhatley9955]

I live and ride in Dallas-Ft. Worth. Urbanized, overcrowded, and chock full of stressed out, aggressive, stupid, pissy drivers. And then there’s the crime and daily road rage shootings. So yes, I carry a full house 1911 10mm. I don’t know any riders around here who don’t carry. For me, it’s a Galco vertical shoulder rig for EDC. Highly concealable, comfortable, and allows fast access to the pistol. If there’s any downside to this method of carry, it’s that I can only access the pistol with my throttle hand. But as long as my hand’s on the throttle I’m gonna boogie away from trouble if at all possible (as you rightly recommend). I also use a high level of discretion as to when, where, and how I ride, which keeps me out of trouble. I refuse to get into pissing matches. I’m out to ride, have fun, and survive. I’ve noticed that many riders around here are open carrying. That’s all well and good, but some jackass is going to try to make your life miserable. By the way, I have that same Klim jacket. Rock solid. As for thigh carry, I don’t necessarily dislike the idea, but I think losing the gun is highly likely if you go to the tarmac. Stay safe out there, ride SMART, and always be prepared.

[@elismith660]

I ride a lot but tend to wear more subdued clothing and I conceal carry a g19 daily (appendix) I find that I can draw it right or left hand and have been happy with it. That alien drop leg is pretty bad ass though might have to look into that

[@troy9er]

Remember it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!!!

[@BJJNINJA215]

Love the motorcycle content ❤

[@emilja.4205]

@nutnfancy What's your take on Hickok45's latest videos about his situation on YT deleting a lot of his videos because of the new terms of service since June 15th and his older vids. Will it affect your channel too?

[@PincheBuzo]

Always happy to see the moto content.

[@jimcain349]

On a motorcycle, crashing is orders of magnitude more likely than needing to defend with a firearm, so I don't want a pistol on my torso. In a crash, it could break ribs and otherwise cause a lot more trauma than the crash alone would. I need to find a way to keep it on my leg in a leg bag or in an open-carry holster.

[@ChaohsiangChen]

Big iron is best to be carried on the hip.

[@poppabear9279]

Hey Nutn, I've been subscribed to you, for like, idk, 10-12 years. I lost count. You've been completely shadow banned by KZbin. 100%. I had all notifications turned on for you, and that was modified on this channel and my 2 other main channels I host content on. This is my anonymous play channel. Been Subbed, All the way back when your channel was small. I was just talking to my son in law. We thought you had retired. We can't find your content anywhere. I just found you, telling my son in law to buy a Browning BLR, older USA Model in 243. So, I searched and you popped up. He's a fan of your's as well. You don't respond to any of your viewers really. I know that. All good. I hope you still read comments. Hope you're doing well. Watching your BLR Video now. I can't believe you've still got less than 1m subs. You should be in the 5-6 mill by now, at least bigger than Hickok, which I'm not a huge fan of now days. Cheers

[@codycox2685]

I use a mystery ranch wingman pouch.

[@Tookarooks]

absolutely beautiful...

[@ShuriekenFTI]

I bought a 2014 KTM 1190 on your recommend nutn! Haven't found a good way to carry on the bike for my particular application which is bike camping on severe trails. I fall a couple times per weekend trip and always worry I will fall on the weapon. I'm pretty much always in deep wilderness and the probability of armed conflict is as close to zero as it can be. Having said that I have been camping in bear country and would be nice to have some firepower. Maybe carry in the luggage unloaded and then gas it up when I get to camp.

[@scottrgood]

I know you said you don’t mind open carry when on your bike… but wouldn’t you on a regular day on the road wear that ‘chest rig’ UNDER your riding jacket? Is that something you guys would normally do, or do you literally prefer it worn OVER your jacket?

[@timothychartrand9103]

Hey man! I haven’t came across your channel in years. What happened to your turbo 350z? Huge fan man

[@davidcurry9292]

Carry everyday everywhere

[@Haytifdad]

Whereas most states don't allow filtering, maneuverability is a bit less a factor; better to always give space in most situations. Since defensive use of handgun will likely place you in an immovable or stopped situation, strong side defensive use is most likely. Most motocross also carry strongside IIRC.

[@Haytifdad]

[@Adam_Newman]

Curious tower AT&T or verizon ?

[@davidgolden1726]

My Ruger LC9 sux's hate it !

[@xxxlonewolf49]

ONE dumbass shot himself & serpa got the blame, he was doing contact drills, swapped holsters & did ZERO dry fire or draw strokes after changing holsters.

[@CallsignWulf]

I've said that for years. Are Serpa holsters the best? No, but I had been using them since I was 14, with Glocks and M&Ps that had no "safeties" besides the trigger dingus on them. Never shot myself.

[@xxxlonewolf49]

@CallsignWulf Same for my personal old XD & my service M9, zero issues, but so much "group think" hate for even saying that. And my M9 was issued with the serpa.

[@carlredbird3054]

I use a drawstring backpack with my pistol and ammo loose inside

[@hkmp5kpdw]

Just bought a Transalp… I carry a 365.

[@tehflemin]

If you have a quickshifter then going ledt handed costs you nothing in bike control

[@billyboomb7335]

Does anyone on this platform know what they call the airplane model planes you might see on a flight commander or high up military official's desk to show an example of a military plane...mine is an F4F Wildcat metal from WW2 era??❤

[@jeffreyblose8295]

I normally carry everywhere also but, when It comes to carrying on body on a bike I worry about what happens if I go down and the gun just diggs into my body. Any thoughts about the risk of injury if in an accident?

[@markchalloner5883]

I spent 12 of my 20 years in the Border Patrol patrolling on ATV's. I've seen lots of injuries, but never anything specific resulting from a firearm digging into a hip, mostly head and extremity injuries. I have seen a pistol grip ripped completely off, with the rest of the gun still in the retention holster though.

[@saintsempai]

I'm about to hop on the triumph, need advice quickly!

[@fluffles9591]

Omg i use the same ratchet belt

[@PincheBuzo]

Combat hand gun. Has the military used a hand gun specifically designed for combat since the 1911? Not a military guy, so the term combat hand gun made me curious.

[@rbljackson]

Ironic this comes out today. My buddy and I took a ride on the fourth and had his pistol open carry for the ride, which got me thinking...why not. Looking at options now becuase we can open carry, and I don't have my Concealed carry yet.

Moto gloves are the issue. You need to incorporate taking the glove off in your draw. Most moto gloves are too big to shoot with.

Ive been carrying in a vertical shoulder holster, but i wonder of it'd break my ribs in the event of a crash

[@jordandenmark8443]

I hit the ground pretty much every time I ride (dual sport/enduro in New England) I only carry in a tank bag or pack because I dont want to damage it or cause more injuries if I land on it (chest, leg etc.)

[@xxxlonewolf49]

Weird...you flew & used a HUD and you don't like reddots? Reddots are better...I'm still trying to find a simple way to put one in my old XD.

[@markanderson9857]

I've been riding bike since the 70s. But lane splitting always bothers me. Years ago a friend of mine (passenger in a car at the time) opened a car door while stuck in traffic to dump out a cup. A motorcycle who was splitting lanes hit the door at high speed. While the motorcyclist only got minor injuries. She wasn't so fortunate. So please split lanes at a speed that you can stop.

[@thewiredfox2691]

At a gas station, if you are filling up your tank, you might have a tank bag to move and reattach, gloves off, etc. It may not be easy to get out of there fast.

[@johndeere1951a]

I've been riding longer than either of you have been breathing. Been shooting since almost that long. If your lane splitting your playing traffic roulette. Only pass slow traffic on the right shoulder. A motorcycle doesn't win in a car/truck argument. Good luck fellers. ✌️

[@larsrodbok1285]

Your lane-splitting speed is too high. Only lane-split 5-10 mph above the cars/trucks. That will reduce your road rage incidents.

[@rmikel14789]

Born in California, definitely understand the sentiment. My states politics is the reason why I left. Live in Oregon, but the state is becoming California quick. Remember four out of 10 of us are conservative and don’t approve of wacky leftist politics.
