Just out of curiosity, has anyone thought about carrying a light weight revolver?? There are some SWEET 45 ACPs out there. I'm a chick and I carry either a Combat Commander or a 45 revolver (only when riding on the mainland) but and in Alaska you can pretty much carry open or concealed but you can't carry into banks, bars, school zones, or court houses. As long as you don't get stupid, the cops usually have a pretty good attitude. The Benelli M3 was just too bulky
Rio
Ruger LCP .380... Just toss it in a pocket...jacket pocket or pants, it's that small, cost you about 300 bux. If you decide against that idea, I like small of the back, under your jacket or a really long shirt. Problem with small of the back is when riding our shirts can blow up in the wind and expose the gun (felony brandishing) if not wearing a jacket. Typically if you're gonna need to use it, you'll be off the bike pumpin gas, or someplace parked hangin out. I say this because I assume you aren't gonna road rage while riding, nor pull a drive by on a busa...so it doesn't necessarily need to be accessible while on the bike, but just mainly so you don't get robbed while pumpin gas and such. That's really my only concern. I figure we ride expensive machines that are easily sellable on the black market and highly desired but not easily afforded. Sooo, I figure carrying is cheaper than full coverage insurance, at least in my case!
Check out Fobus paddle holsters too. Very comfortable imo.
I'd rather be judged by 12...then carried by 6!
2nd pic is actually a Kel-Tec inside a fobus paddle, but same exact design as the ruger. Actually I'm pretty sure ruger bit iff of the design after the patent expired...but you get the idea.
3rd pic is a Sig P238...one of my favorites but a couple hundred more expensive and heavier. But, same idea as the other "mouse" guns or ccw guns.
I usually stick a Makarov 9 in the small of the back. Tank bag would be quicker access, here is a link to Pa. carry info. & we are soon to adopt the Castle doctirine here as well I believe.

Im a philadelphia officer and we have some active shooter training here. We are no longer allowed to stay outside and secure a perimeter and wait for the heavy guns. First four officers on scene are to head in no matter what and bypass everything and everyone till the threat is reached and eliminated... But knowing the truth of our nature as philly cops that school or business will be flooded with so many cops itll be intense. I pray every day that does not happen in my district talk about difficult situation especialy when all we are armed with is glock 17's vs. The completely unknown! The thought alone is scary but thats what we get the crappy pay for
jk.... Or am i?
