MBaneACP Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Erik; I use a chest holster made by Survival Sheath Systems for hiking and biking, and I really like it.Survival Sheath Systems It stays clear of my hydration system and/or backpack, can be easily concealed beneath a fleece vest or windshell and has enough straps to make it infinitely customizable as to where the holster hangs. What I really like is that the holster can be adjusted to hang pretty tightly against the chest and not flop around. I can still use a back-mounted fanny pack while biking wit this holster, too. I specified my holster "gun butt down/right," as I hate things that go bang pointing at my head! Still and all, I opt for a revolver for backcountry carry. I use an S&W 296 TiLite .44 Special snubby with 200-gr SilverTips. I consider this one of the best backcountry guns ever made. A J-frame in a chest holster would be pretty invisible under almost any clothing. Give this one a try! mb PS: I also like the SafePackers for non-strenuous activities.

Scooter Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Why not make an attachment to your camelbak? BTW, camelbak can save your life if you land on your back. There have been people that were ejected from their bikes to land on their backs on top of rocks. The bladders ruptured, but absorbed the impact.

blackdragon Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hey Erik, Maybe a tank bag, If you have a yard sale, the gun will stay with the bike. It would probably be just as fast to get it out. Just an option Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land on my back, then feel cold and wet. Instant shock for me... but at least I'd be alive!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Somebody better lock this thread before the forum has Erik's bike loaded with a pair of T2 lever action shotguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 And that would be a problem why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Just get two Mac10 attached to the front of the bike. Wasn't that how they did it in Delta Force movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdragon Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I think a couple of potato guns would look real cool! Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Oh yeah, but I gotta get the turbo boost to make the most of those 'sheen guns and declare Jihad on balloons. Movies plural? They made more than one? God help us. Actually, Delta Force was Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin. The spandex riders on the sheengun-sickles with Barry Bostwick were, um, Omega Force? Lemme check... No, it's MegaForce! MegaForce bikes Ace Hunter (left) modeling some sort of chest holster Megaforce review, highly recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Is that your setup, or something for inspiration? It's very cool, but you need at least two of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 That's my setup as of this afternoon. Still waiting for the HRP Elbow Jackets. I had to hang the SafePacker a little low on the chest because the top flap opens upward. There's a gun in it in the picture. Why do I need two?

Dead Buff Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Why do I need two? So you can release the handlebars completely while fending of flying insects and mud pieces with a .45 in each hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 The snow finally melted and I went for a ride today. I was in such a rush I forgot my G17. DOH! But I had my 26 with me and used it. It was held securely, despite some nasty whoops and general banging around. Having the SafePacker hang a little below the armor wasn't ideal, as it would hit me in the leg. Also, I realized the muzzle points at my femoral artery from time to time.

ErikW Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Just an update on why I choose to carry out in the boonies of Nevada.... http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=545550 It's a nine-page thread, but the gist of it is: some crazy old coot shoots at riders near his property, not far from Reno. The safepacker is working well. I had a huge yard sale crash earlier this year and it held the gun securely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
