Top 5 Tips For Concealed Carrying On Your Motorcycle

[@Hegshot87]

What's up guys! Leave me your ccw setup for your motorcycle here and check out the discounts and links to products in the description.

[@joeyfamulare3032]

Wear my Vedder with the claw for my VP9 SK. Conceals great with just a t-shirt when I ride. Otherwise I wear my Tulster with my S&W Performance Center Shield 2.0 👊🏻👍🏻

[@wildautojacob2630]

I ride with two guns on me. I keep a sig Sauer p365 in the front of my waist band and my riding jacket has a small pocket inside the liner that I keep a Ruger lcp 380 in. The sig has the foxtrot light and the ruger has a laser

[@WHOTEEWHO]

My leather vest has built in holsters in the internal chest pockets. I carry with the gun in the right side pocket so I can draw with my left hand

[@InV3in]

I was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident three months ago, while I was on the ground someone stole my P365. If any of you happen to go down (God forbid) try the best you can to retain your firearm. Ride safe everyone. Thanks for the tips, great video!

[@FireheartSamurai]

Brandynladd Have you gotten your P365 back after it got stolen?

[@kimclarkson7129]

That’s terrible!! At least you were ok!

[@TinyDragon]

or the gun goes off if you wreck…. stupid to carry on a bike.. if u have to protect urself on the bike then u don’t have enough throttle … if u stop just get it out of the saddle bag.

[@lukemyers1432]

@@TinyDragon that’s literally the dumbest logic I’ve ever heard in my life the same thing can happen if you get in a wreck in a car

[@TinyDragon]

@@lukemyers1432 except in a motorcycle wreck things are hitting pavement-not likely to go off but ask sig sauer if everything always passes a drop test. now as for needing to shoot while riding… that isn’t likely to be needed unless you are a cartoon character , in a terminator movie, or just generally driving thru the hood at night. otherwise put the gun in the saddle bag and holster it when u get off the bike.

[@NiteshKumar-tn8xt]

Hear me out AR pistol Single point sling Under a rather loose jacket. Dont even have to worry about reholstering while riding You can just pop some shots, drop it down, use your handlebar to ride, then pick up where you left.

[@arronburns6990]

Mp5 would work perfect on that sling set up :) lol

[@chrischilleen5131]

Post apocalypse, yes. I'm more into "good citizen" style carry 😂

[@Nostrum19]

damn i love this haha

[@eyesonly4451]

I carry using my bike's tank bag. The tank bag has a quick release, which makes it fast and easy to carry with me when stopped at a gas station or restaurant. If I must be some place where carry is absolutely not allowed I can easily move from the tank bag to the rear top box, which is metal and has an automobile grade locking mechanism.

[@CGR89]

My rule while riding is to always wear an active retention holster. Even a really good kydex holster can still get bumped hard enough to have the gun pop out. Bianchi model 82 is my holster of choice.

[@MuppetJoe]

I think a huge thing being overlooked on this topic is where you carry your firearm. More specifically if you get into an accident. Taking an impact to that pistol on your hip is not only going to negate any protection you have on but could make for a really bad injury

[@TinyDragon]

yes bc these people are so pro gun that they forget common sense to protect themselves. best comment on here was a mounted holster or bag to the bike. when u get off bike put gun in normal hoslter u wear.

[@kye698]

That’s literally all I’ve been looking for but I might just get a small tank bag up front at this point then just back on the body once I’m off the bike

[@yetisuncle666]

absolutely. holsters are critical. even if you have a junky Saturday night special, you must have a trustworthy dependable holster. my main thing would be retention. you gotta have proper retention, especially when on a bike. i dont conceal carry, i open carry. but retention i the most important thing for me. great video

[@badazzmaro]

Dual shoulder holsters, nuff said

[@bellerophon9116]

The demonstration of pocket carry raises the question of regarding access when wearing motorcycle gloves. A gloves hand can be quite a challenge in this instance among others.

[@scottmccabe567]

Thanks for the good info. I ride trail/single track on a ktm 500. I have the WLF enduro vest. It has two good size pouches on the front side of the waist band-- perfect for conceal carry.

[@artwebb6939]

I've been carrying in a fanny pack, but I am moving toward pocket carry, or maybe a shoulder holster Living in Texas, I damn sure feel you on the heat I just made what I think is a hell of a good purchase, the icon Upstate riding shirt Full d30 armor, as mesh as a mesh jacket can get, and weighs maybe 1/3 of a textile jacket's weight I'm glad you said something about the gloves, because I had not thought of that

[@ShiftnWolf72]

Thanks, just starting to consider a CC and I Ride. Great video!

[@gustavo1937]

i usually carry at 3 hours iwb and i use a large t-shirt and a motorcycle vest(make of leader) in this way i can hide a full size beretta and a 20 rounds mag on may apendes. and off course i use a very good kydex holster and a good leader belt

[@Thomas1000RR]

In the Tankbag of course!

[@larrikinlancer685]

I'm by no means a U.S citizen, but I have a Low Rider S with Tbars and have got a Nash-co split bag that mounts to my T'bars. But seeing the product demonstration for it, it's definitely handgun friendly.

[@garys9638]

I carry in the open, strong side. Never a problem!

[@Hegshot87]

I forgot to mention that Vedder Holster clips are already tuckable if that's something you need

[@xDrGeek]

I would like to see more on the saddle bag holster.

[@thebardock6785]

Not practical but suppose it's based on your state and area. Maybe comfortable but doesn't do you any good to do to have it there.

[@johnstone495]

Be sure you are using som of your range time to train with both helmet and gloves on. Depending on the situation you may not have time to remove your helmet and/or gloves before drawing and firing.

[@baconbaconbobacon]

Definitely something ive been thinking about recently, i will be practicing with helmet on, but gloves is going to be difficult because of how bulky they are.

[@Ctatyk]

When I'm on the bike, I have a thigh bag holster. Being left handed helps because I don't have to release the throttle in order to draw. 1 handed operation. Holds a spare mag as well as my phone & wallet. No, it's not the most manly thing, but it's better than a fanny pack. Also, it sits about where my drop leg holster for open carry sits. This helps with muscle memory.

[@FireheartSamurai]

What’s wrong with with a fanny pack?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome video 👍👍

[@buffalobmf]

just get a pocket holster from alien gear and put it in your riding jacket pocket in the inside pocket. maybe leave the zipper in a easier spot or unzip it fully while off the bike. when dirt biking i just strap it to the bike cuz its my land and trails i can open carry

[@Jeremybaland]

None of these options work for someone that wears a full suit while riding. Seems like the best option is mounted somewhere accessible on the bike. When stopped you would move it to your body.

[@mikelangelo2020]

Current ride: 2009 Yamaha FZ6R I appendix carry when I ride. If I crash the gun isn't directly pressing against a bone (cause when you crash hard objects become your enemy). Also in any other carry position my backpack gets in the way or my ride triangle doesn't allow the gun to be placed on certain parts of my body.

[@FireheartSamurai]

How’s the motorcycle? What gun do you keep in your backpack?

[@patooosh]

More for sport bike but I carry a vertx backpack when riding not as fast as appendix but another option most people don’t think twice about a rider with a backpack

[@arronburns6990]

I haven’t got over the did the gun fall out feeling yet been carrying for years, I don’t care what holster it’s in or retention level I always get that “feeling” lol .

[@phoophop8167]

My only concern is access while rolling ... I mainly carry right handed but I am ambidextrous .... When I ride I carry in a high cant cross draw on my right side for left hand access ... Not letting my right hand off the throttle and brake .... It really works well .... Check it out ....

[@raf25985]

its not road rash lol

[@BC9696]

Though I am right handed, I switch to left handed carry when riding in case I need to draw while riding. Need your right hand on the throttle but if some asshat is gonna try and take you out while in motion and you cannot escape it, well...better to be trialed by twelve than carried by six.

[@brentsnoddy1951]

I have tried numerous holster types and locations. Being a fat boy, I do not like the inside waist band. Pocket carry holster for my bodyguard seems to be the best carry for me when I am off the bike in a store. It kinda looks like a large cellphone in your front pocket and the little thumb tab makes it really easy to remove the weapon from the holster. My wife and I ride Can-Am Spyder TR Limited's which has a convenient little glovebox just in front of the handlebar. That seems to be the easiest access for handguns that fit. I carry my Hellcat with OSP and laser in it. Be safe, be smart! Thanks for the vid.

[@jayfig78]

Do you know if standard Glock 19 size guns fit in the saddleback compartment on street bikes like a honda CBR or Ninja?

[@leticiaarenivas4827]

I have a job with a very strict no gun policy and have been looking for the best locking method to leave my gun on my bike during work. Any suggestions? I haven't found anything that appears to be secure enough yet.

[@benolson2692]

I've been looking at a chest bag kinda thing like a front backpack, it would be secure and you could keep snacks and stuff, any opinions?

[@thetacticalninja9423]

[@michaelanderson9914]

Thank you. Not many vids on this subject

[@garypoborsky7073]

hope your channel goes huge

[@007Smith]

I open carry my kimber 1911 9mm stainless while I'm on my street glide special.

[@seahawks51LT]

Chest holsters. Especially good for left handed riders because throttle is right hand

[@donsvideos1985]

I came here specifically for the saddle bag tip. In Texas I have an LTC but... in Texas an employer can prevent you from carrying while working. They may not prevent you from storing your firearm in your vehicle on their parking lot. The hangups is in the transfer. Persons have been fired for possing the firearm outside the vehicle "he was transferring the gun from his car to another car so his vehicle could be towed for repair" this small thing stood up in court and he was fired and it stood the court case. I carry IWB so getting off the bike and transferring to a saddlebag could be problematic. My goal is to carry In the saddlebag safely for my commute. Thanks

[@MissyMalaprop]

I still haven't found a way to conceal carry on myself and wear proper riding gear. Everyone does short cuts and skip on proper jackets and stuff so they can get to their guns... like in this video, that jacket is almost no protection.

[@mcmneverreadsreplys7318]

Thoughts on a bike gun, in the Ideal world where $ is no object. 1. Your right hand will probably be occupied with the throttle, so regardless of your dominant hand, learn to shoot left handed at close ranges. (At long ranges maneuvering beats shooting.) Because it is unlikely you will be able to take full proper shooter’s stance, a grip activated laser or red dot sight can be a helpful thing but will probably not work well with anything but summer weight gloves. 2. Get a designated Bike Holster for the Left hip or leg OR on your chest (chest holster, vest, or modified jacket. The twisting involved in under arm cross draw may, in a panic situation, compromise your control when you can least afford it. Know your Conceal and Open Carry laws and act accordingly. 3. Get a gun that has or can mount a Lanyard ring. A designated Bike gun. ADD a lanyard (preferably braided steel core with cover braiding.) Make the Lanyard long enough that you are able to fully extend the gun for shooting, but short enough so the gun doesn't hit the concrete if you drop it. (Yes, you just might abruptly find it necessary to use your left hand to control the bike and not have time to re-holster your gun. If so it would be a good thing for you to be able to later recover the gun just by pulling on the lanyard.) The Lanyard should be adjustable in length for use over various seasonal clothing. If not you may need an assortment of lengths to suite the situation or season. (NOTE: if it can't reach the concrete, it also can't reach your spokes.) 4. As noted in video - large trigger guard - for gloves. NOTE: your best defense is your maneuverability, your breaks, your ability to hit the shoulder and drive against the traffic flow if necessary.

[@IskateUphill]

Its great to be left handed

[@garylewis176]

What about on a dirt bike while single track enduro riding way out in the woods?

[@markcush5621]

Great video, this was very helpful

[@ripstikr27]

I carry my P365 IWB everywhere I go, but on my bike (03 Honda 919), it digs into me too much, so I prefer to carry my G19 OWB in a BlackHawk holster. It makes me feel better with the two stage retention, and is comfortable as I don't feel it because it sits between my shirt and my jacket. It sticks out the bottom of the jacket a little, but who cares, I'm in an open carry state.

[@sabrinaa4872]

Thanks for sharing, I've been looking for an owb holster for riding with more retention than just kydex. I'll have to check them out! I also don't care if people see that I'm carrying a gun, it is weird not to where I live

[@chipgroff9664]

[@MedControlledState]

I saw a video where the rider was forced off their bike under gun point and made to give up their crossbody bag. That made me stop carrying off body. I use a belly band inside my riding pants now.

[@kevinnipper8666]

You could also carry it in a tank bag.

Love your videos. You are one of the youtubers I follow to find reviews on something I am interested in buying. Glad to find out you are a fellow rider too. I have an interesting topic that I wonder if you have input on... Maybe an idea for a video. I am always looking for good range bags that fit great in a saddle bag. Do you have any you would recommend?

[@jacobc8809]

Do you recommend tulster holsters for riding? I’m finally gonna pull the trigger on buying a nice holster for my XDM and I ride a lot practically everyday but even if I’m not riding and I’m using my car and I’m out and about I still want a nice holster for any of that.

You didnt mention the thumbnail holster mounted beside the gas tank thats literally why i clicked the video...

[@jameskrivitsky9715]

Helpful tips , thanks. I think that using the LEFT hand for draw on a scoot would be preferred. It allows you to maintain speed and braking ability. I had an experience years ago where a pickup pulling a gooseneck cattle trailer tried to grind me into a concrete highway barrier. He pulled up along side of me . He was in the slower outside lane. He then moved towards me in the left lane and continued to try to make me loose control against the barrier. I escaped with inches. I was sandwiched between his dually back truck wheels and the wheels / fender of the trailer. My only evasive maneuver was to wait for an opening in the barrier, veer hard left through the barrier and complete my drive over an overpass in the lane going the opposite direction. Too bad I did not have my CHL at the time. J K

[@mikelangelo2020]

I don't know any state in the union where its legal to shoot someone for negligently merging into you. Plus in your scenario, removing one hand off your bars to draw a weapon, aim, and shoot tells me you had enough time to drop a gear and disappear. During the operation of a motorcycle, there is little to no reason to pull your gun and attempt to shoot someone. Unless you're practicing riding, drawing, and shooting on the range (which I know you won't) its a danger to everyone else on the road with you and a danger to you because you sacrificed control of the motorcycle for a poorly aimed shot with a firearm. I hate to say it but we may think we're John Wick in our heads, but in reality we are not.

[@jameskrivitsky9715]

Yes, I agree with you Mike. Thanks for your perspective. I would have put myself in jeopardy of being squashed by an uncontrolled vehicle with a maniac corpse at the wheel. That driver and his buddy were probably playing CHICKEN with me and had some hidden bias against bikers. He would have been guilty of vehicular homicide, and I would be 6 feet under. He would get parole in 5 years and I would be gone FOREVER. No winner either way. Be safe to you and fellow riders. J K

[@madmanonwheels5150]

@@mikelangelo2020, Although it may not be legal, it should be, because it's still self defense, if people are using their vehicles as weapons on you. Some may not have the option to get out, where a gun could save their lives, in a quick moment. That should be a last resort, of course.

[@kennethcurtis1856]

I believe you should be able to still be on the bike and draw even awhile diving so outside the wast band left Side Even with the fact I’m right handed Type of holster ALS brand best one Safariland. I don’t cere if I show I’m armed all the time but Safariland has outside the wast band holsters that I can remove just the holster and gun together and put back on with out touching my belt So during the ride it’s showing but I can get to it Get off the bike take that one off put it in a bag I still have anther gun on the right
