Conceal Holster

[jc1300]

Curious what you guys are using for a carry holster on the Trike. Really not interested in the 50 cal - big bore carry stuff - Glock or like sidearm holsters. Also your concerns when traveling legally with your sidearm....printing etc. Thanks - jc

John, I can't say much as for a holster. I have a custom made crossdraw holster for my favorite carry gun but I usually carry my gun in either my jacket or vest using an inside gun pocket. They are pretty much made not to print. And as far as traveling with my gun, I check state reciprocity info to make sure I am legal wherever I am going.

Thanks Doug - Hope the holidays where kind! I've used the same Vest pocket and find the weight on the vest uncomfortable. A coat works better, but I am traveling the Keys in 3 weeks and was just looking for other options. Have you ever tried the shoulder/T-shirt type rig? I have over time used shoulder holsters ~ To be honest one of my favorite "comfort" carry solutions. A large loose shirt {a favorite for us big boys} works nice for me. But on a bike, blowing around....with a vest...probably not. Thanks brother....jc

One of my smaller guns is a Bond Arms two barrel derringer type. 410 double buck in one and a 45 in the other barrel. The holster straps on the belt in the horizontal position. Very comfortable while sitting and easy to grab. It's about 4 to 5 inches long.

Holidays were good. Fun with 5 grandsons! Hope yours was good.

I never used a shoulder holster. I would think you would still need to use it under a jacket so I don't know how much of an advantage it would be other than to maybe be able to carry under a big shirt when you are out and about off the trike too.

I use this holster. Carry S&W M&P 380.Does not imprint and if you have to draw the pistol, the holster stays in the pocket/

Here’s what I use. Greatest thing since sliced bread as far as I’m concerned. You can even wear it with shorts with no belt. Most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. I forget I’m wearing it most times. And I carry a Glock 30S which is a double stack .45

Here’s a link:

I can wear it fully tucked and it doesn’t print. Of course I’m a good sized guy.

There are certain states I won't even ride into to. That's how I deal with them. They naturally aren't losing much money but I'm not to only one like that so they are losing. As far as holster goes, I'm very basic with a strong side thermoplastic acrylic-polyvinyl chloride(Kydex) holster under a vest. I have always wore vests even in high school and in summer so it was a simple cover when I started carrying. If I don't have a vest on people don't recognize me as in when I have a suit jacket on. But guess what's under the jacket. I used to carry with a shoulder holster but a two wheel accident damaged one shoulder badly and have just never got back to carrying that way. I do prefer that method. But one thing I've noticed by now carrying shoulder is I don't have the moisture problem I was dealing with daily. Which helped to going back to that mode I guess.

I'm in florida for the winter months and I always use a belly band holster, works very well with a loose shirt -- also has a place for a couple of extra mags. One drawback while wearing a T-shirt is that you have to go under your shirt to get it.

Sure looks like a Kimber in that thing. But a 1911 looks like a 1911.

I carry my SW Bodyguard in my pocket (clip) and on my hip (belt loop) with this holster. Cheap thing too. Only costs $14.95.

Brave Response Holster

I'm partial to the Brave Response belly band type holster. Doesn't print and has room for extra mags. you can use virtually any gun with it.

A buddy of mine wears two holsters, a Crossbreed Supertuck for walking and Galco shoulder while riding, he says that way he can get it out if needed while sitting on the bike but when he dismounts, the Galco comes off with the Harley Mesh jacket and the pistol goes in the CB and under the t shirt or shirt.

Thanks all - Good options and suggestions are much appreciated. Two holsters.....I hadn't even thought of that solution....jc

I have a shoulder holster for my colt detective special

It also has special grips that are like a duck bill

The gun stays in my waist band with this grip it has never fallen out

I got a Colt Detective Special 2 inch barrel from my brother a detective with this grip already on, It works good IMO

less bulky than the shoulder

This is a picture of my regular grips

For my Ruger LCR I use a Mitch Rosen Workman Slim IWB I carry this most of the time.

The Workman is designed so you can tuck a shirt in if you need to.

I also carry a 5" Ruger SR1911 on occasion in a Mitch Rosen Uncle Sal’s Decision II SF IWB.Both are surprisingly comfortable and really good Leather.

They are a bit Pricey but I have been using their holsters (3 for different weapons) and belts (2) for over 23 years and have not had one fail yet.
