This is seriously the friendliest and most civil forum I have ever been on.  I have noticed that about most of the gun forums.  Firearms must civilize people.

I will look into the Meco.  The other place I want to carry is while mountain biking, which I do a lot of, in difficult back country terrain, alone mostly.  Any ideas on the best carry method with lycra:o?  I guess I could do open attached to the side of my pack which I always wear.  Lots of sweat involved in this activity which is partly why I want something used and a little pre-beat up.

What would work better, Stealth coating, or SS in this application?

Finally, I did get to fondle a new R9s at the local gun store yesterday (1179+tax and I almost bit.)  Amazing little piece of work, and the trigger felt dreamy smooth after the Glock I am used to.

An Armed Society Is A Polite Society. ;D
It might be difficult to find a "pre-beat up" pup, most owners are pretty kind to them.
  As far as finish the Stealth will show more of the wear on the slide than the stainless will.
  Good luck in your search.

 For bike riding/carrying I would recommend a fanny pack conceal carry system. The pack can hold many things as well as the gun and it looks natural on the trails to have one. Perfect fit. Many companies make them.

If you attach a holster to the pack please be sure that it is secure.

You still need a quality holster in or out of the pack. ;D

 That was why I used the words "Conceal Carry System"  Conceal carry fanny packs have holster built into them with quick access capabilities when needed. I do not recommend using a standard fanny pack. The conceal carry Packs keep the weapon in a separate area so all your other "stuff" does not get in the way.

I had a friend that sewed a holster on his hiking back pack for his glock 27. He mounted in a way he could reach it without taking the pack off of his back to retrieve the gun. I am sure there are alot of options out there, or you can make your own concealment package. :)

I thought that's how they were made.  Never have seen one.

Exactly.  I don't see much point carrying the thing if it is in the pack.  Open carry would be fine in these parts.  It just needs to be very secure, and a little out of the way so I don't fall on it because I do fall, and the ride can be a bit rough at times.







Anyway, it is a pretty dynamic sport.  Maybe an IWB carry would be better, just to the right and in front of the pack?

WOW!  That is some scary pictures; do you get hurt much, or damage your bike?  You must be very skilled at that, so the answer to both is probably, no.  Continue to be safe.

I was just thinking that same thing; instead of buying a new gun, we could each get a $2000+ bike.
