Anyone ever carry while riding...

I am picking up a Glock 27 on Friday & was pondering the same thing. I think the tank bag would be the best place for it personally. I don't think I would want to have a get-off with a pistol in a shoulder holster... can you say broken ribs?
I always wondered if carrying my 50. cal Desert Eagle in the tankbag would help keep the front tire down in 1st and 2nd gear...

Not the most concealable handgun....guess it would depend on how many full mags you were carrying as well. Dem' loaded .50 cal mags are heavy.
I carry pretty much everytime I ride. I always feel very vulnerable on the bike. Here is what I do and it works great. I carry a Tomcat (Beretta) 32 Auto on an ankle holster. I have a Glock 30 but it is too bulky, but I could carry it in a tank bag. Face it, if someone wants the bike they could get it. It would take me a while to reach down on pull that thing out, or access a tank bag! My buddy rides with a 9MM in his jacket.
BTW, I have a concelaed weapons permit. Its legal.

I carry a two tone S.S. Sig P229 in 40. cal when I do have the tankbag...
The good thing about the 50. cal is that if the round just passes close to the intended target (victim) the concussion will knock them out, or at least stun them long enough for me to ride away without causing any permanent damage...

Remember that carrying it is one thing but having quick access to it could mean the difference between life and death. Otherwise, just like an unloaded gun, its only a good paperweight if you can't get at it when the occasion requires. One other point to remember, a CWP is not good in all states, even for cops.

I am about to start. I finally broke down and got my CHL. SO I will probably be packing in the jacket or where ever else is comfortable. I was suprised to find out how many folks here in Texas are packing the heat on a regular basis.

carry a beretta tomcat 32 on ankle always/ longer trips also carry cz 40 in tank bag
If you catch me out of my yard, I'm packin!
I have tried a number of guns and favor my Kirby CSP II .45 auto. However, the best I've found for a riding partner is the S&W AirLite 5 shot revolver in 357 mag caliber, made of titainium. It's so small and light, you hardly know it's there and shoots amazingly well for it's size.
I don't know how you guys with ankle holsters do that with riding boots. My sidi's fit way to snug to get a gun to fit. I'm thinking you probably ride in jeans if you use an ankle holster? Maybe someone could elaborate?
