Alright, let’s talk about these motorcycle gun holsters, ya know, the things you stick your boom-stick in when you’re ridin’ your hog. I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two, and I know what’s what when it comes to carryin’ your piece.
First off, why would ya even need one of these things? Well, some folks, they like to be prepared, ya know? Safety first, they say. And if you’re out on the open road, who knows what kinda trouble you might run into. Maybe some wild animals, maybe some bad hombres, maybe just a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Either way, havin’ your gun handy, well, it just makes sense, don’t it?
Now, there’s a bunch of different kinds of holsters you can get. Some are small and sneaky, like those ankle ones. Good if you’re sittin’ down a lot, I guess, ’cause they don’t get in the way. But me, I like somethin’ a little more sturdy, somethin’ that’ll keep my gun safe and sound, no matter how bumpy the road gets.
- You got your waist holsters, the kind you wear on your belt. Those are alright, I reckon. Easy to get to, but sometimes they can be a bit uncomfortable if you’re ridin’ for a long time.
- Then there’s them thigh holsters, the ones that strap to your leg. Those are pretty secure, but they can be a pain to put on and take off, if you ask me.
- And then you got your shoulder holsters, the kind the FBI fellers used to wear, or so I heard. Those are good if you got a big ol’ gun, keeps it outta the way but still close enough to grab in a hurry. Comfortable too, so they say, even if you’re leanin’ over that gas tank for a while.
But the ones we’re talkin’ about today, those are the motorcycle mounted holsters. These things are special, made just for your bike. They attach right to your handlebars or your saddlebags, so your gun is always right there where you need it. Now, that’s what I call convenient!
When you’re pickin’ out a holster for your motorcycle, you gotta think about a few things. First off, what kinda gun you got? You ain’t gonna fit a cannon in a holster made for a pea-shooter, and vice versa. Then you gotta think about your bike. Some holsters fit better on some bikes than others. And of course, you gotta think about how you’re gonna ride. You want somethin’ that’s comfortable and easy to reach, even when you’re wearin’ your leathers and your helmet.
Now, some folks say you shouldn’t store your gun in your holster for a long time, ‘specially if it’s made of leather. They say it can mess up your gun, make it rust or somethin’. I don’t know about all that, but it probably ain’t a bad idea to take your gun out of the holster every now and then, give it a good cleanin’ and oilin’. Keeps it workin’ right, ya know?
There’s a whole bunch of places sellin’ these holsters. Some of ’em are fancy, with all the bells and whistles. Some of ’em are plain and simple, just a piece of leather and some straps. Me, I like somethin’ in the middle. Somethin’ that’s well-made and reliable, but don’t cost an arm and a leg. After all, I ain’t made of money.
And remember, just because you got a gun, that don’t make you a tough guy. You gotta be responsible, too. You gotta know how to use your gun safely, and you gotta know when it’s okay to use it and when it ain’t. And you always gotta follow the law, no matter what. ‘Cause the last thing you want is to end up in jail, all ’cause you were carryin’ your gun the wrong way.
So, there you have it, my two cents on motorcycle gun holsters. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, but I hope this helps you out some. Just remember to be safe, be smart, and be responsible, and you’ll be alright.
