Greetings,
When on the bike I would like to carry in the "gun" pocket of my vest. However, the pocket only has an elastic band sewn in to keep the pistol in place, but no protection of the trigger.
Can anyone suggest a holster that would stay in the pocket when drawn and easy access (without fumbling around) when returning to holster.
I could keep IWB, but when in riding position there is an exposure issue.

(Tipping Hat) T.I.A. for any suggestions.

Sounds like you're looking for a Sticky holster.

I thought about this and came up with an idea. Not sure if it’s a good idea but this is what I came up with for this application. Get a piece of kydex and mold it to your liking(Or buy a shell).Drills some small holes around the outside and have someone who knows how to sew stitch it inside your vest. I’m not sure how it would work but kydex is cheap and you could practice on an old vest or jacket.

+1 For Sticky Holster.
At first, I thought it was gimmicky. I wasn't really impressed by its appearance. After using it for a few months I can honestly say that I use it more than any other holster. It fits very well in a cargo pocket and in my denim jacket pocket. I haven't really found a pocket it doesn't work in. I'm looking to pick up a Sticky Holster dual mag pouch to put on my weak side.

I just used a cloth sleeve type "pocket" with a position sewn into place to make room for the trigger guard.

Since this sleeve had an overall "square shape," the pistol usually stayed in the upright position since my inside jean jacket pockets were square, too.

Of course, then Wisconsin enacted both CCW carry and 'open carry.' Like most guys, I just toss on a shirt with tails. It might fool the libtards, but any guy in jeans and biker boots with his tails out is carrying, no doubt.

Even when CCW first became law, my state had 300,000 citizens apply, which came as a surprise to me. Now with Madison and Milwaukee corroding, I'm bet that number has doubled in the last seven years.

+1 on the sticky holster, I'm considering trying shoulder rig for when I'm riding.

What pistol are you going to carry?

 

[bigdog10]

Sorry didn't notice the micro 9 forum. kydex formed for the trigger guard look at the Taurus curve. that's what I'm in the process of making now..

Bigdog, I never know what I'll be carrying. It could be that 3-inch Kimber, a J-frame, a really big knife or just the usual stolen government secrets.

Inside the pouch, I lined it with green pool-table felt. I hate it when things get scratched--including the micro-film...

I'm a big fan of the Blackhawk TecGrip pocket holster. I've been using one for almost four years for my J-frame. Works great for jeans pockets, front or back. Secure enough for IWB with my Airweight. Might be worth a try for your vest carry. Only $20 from Midway.

I'm a big fan of the Blackhawk TecGrip pocket holster.

I wish my choices were that limited. I have several jackets (for the seasons), and several differing defensive items. In other words, what I might carry in summer will not be what I wear or carry in the dead of winter.

I do like to have these various pocket accessible. In summer it's easy to wear a jacket open. In the winter I like to be able to pull a zipper down a bit.

That Harley pouch is easy to open, and even in a shirt with tails I can carry a moderately large automatic pistol--or one with a Commander or shorter barrel.

Despite the fact it's going to hit 70 degrees here today, the northern part of Wisconsin is to be getting 6 to 8 inches of snow. I'm playing the odds. The P238 is already on my jeans, and a spare magazine is already in the front zippered pocket of the pouch.

If it snows, the jacket zippers easily over a flat automatic pistol, if it's hot, I just slip on a shirt.

Thanks everyone for the responses.

I believe I will try the "Sticky" inside the vest pocket because although at this time I do not have a large selection of firearms to choose from, the addiction is there to increase the inventory.
The "Sticky" will be an easy in and out and not "lock" me into only one selection when throwing the vest on.

(Tipping Hat) Thanks again.

Hey Donald,
You might also look at the Nate Squared Tactical stuff:" they have a 'purse/bag/briefcase' holster -- the backing is firm, sorta-stiff and the front of it is covered with velcro; then the holster (the normal N8^2) has the mating velcro to hold the holster to the 'plate.'

Since you're doing pocket carry, you could cut the plate to fit/secure in your pocket, and your N8^2 holster will hold your gun in the already-ready position.

TRIED top go get you a URL to their site; ended up sending them a grumpy email cause -- it's, like, the third time I've tried to find a URL o share -- and can't do it! Don't remember what gun you said; can't see your msg while writing this, and no search engine -- BUT: you know what gun you have; go here and you'll get led to what fits.

I have four N8^2 holsters: Micro .380, Micro 9, .380 mag, and the velcro purse/bag/briefcase one. LOVE THEM!!!
