Re: Moose encounters


All those big two-hander wheel guns are dandy for hiking along an
Alaskan riverbank. However, if I were able to carry one of those I
would just sling my 12 gage over my shoulder. The problem is where to
safely carry a heavy revolver on a motorcycle, and still be able to
get to it in a few seconds.

Some of the hand-gun hunters I've read have expressed a liking for a
big, chest-worn shoulder holster with a flap over the grip and
retention straps and stuff.
Something you could attach to your roost protector perhaps...

If anyone has come up with a good solution, please let me know. Maybe
a Cannonball Baker type holster rig mounted in the center of the
handlebar...? He reportedly killed a large number of dogs with his .38
on the first-ever coast to coast motorsickle ride.

QUOTE
The third day of Baker's trip took him through Phoenix, where his
friends laughed at the "pop-gun" pistol he had brought along and they
replaced it with a Smith and Wesson .38 cal long. While riding through
the Indian reservations at Fort Apache he was greeted by a pack of
dogs that acted more like wolves and he was forced to "drop two of
them in their tracks in order to get by."

IN the old days (turn of the Century) S&W had a gun called the
lemon-squeezer also known as a bicycle gun for just that purpose, I
think it was a .32 - the squeeze part was a grip-safety.
