As a licensed concealed carry person I have become accustomed over the last many years to carrying a 3 inch SP101 in a pocket holster. It's become a normal accessory to dressing and I love its heft and the feeling of security it gives me that is not unlike the feeling I get from having my homeowner's and life insurance paid up at all times. My wife and I have joyfully taken up scooter riding now that our kids are grown and out of the house, and spend many fun hours together "riding the wind" as we call it on Blue Lightening and Rolling Thunder.
Sad to say my little SP101 is a little hard to reach from a sitting position on my Yamaha, and I debated over another method to continue carrying when riding. Recently I started carrying a beautiful 4 and 5/8 inch Super Blackhawk that's polished to a high gloss and has a custom made lanyard ring and contoured grip frame, in a tan, boned Galco crossdraw belt holster. I am not trying to look like a Saturday afternoon movie cowboy, but I must admit it's a beautiful and comforting thing to have when my wife and I go on warm evening rural rides after dark. I was concerned at first about how I would be viewed in stores we frequent on daytime rides, but I have yet to receive a negative comment . I've frequently passed by police cars without rating a second look (that I'm aware of).
I suppose my alternate method of carrying may seem strange to many, but as I peacefully live in a town of 60,000 people (small by many standards) and I can legally carry this way, I shall continue to do so as often as needed. I wonder if I am alone in my views?
