I am going to be riding the New Mexico and Colorado Backcountry Discovery Routes this summer. Because we are going to be camping far from civilization and in areas frequented by four-legged (and maybe two-legged) predators, I have decided to carry my Glock 20 with me on the trip. Due to New Mexico laws, I will have to open carry (in Colorado I can CC). I also am not down with the idea of having the gun strapped to the bike as I will be away from the bike at times and don't want to deal with switching carry methods (off body to on body).
At first I thought I would go with a chest rig. However, I do not think riding hundreds of miles a day with a chest rig and a backpack on will be the best method. I am considering a hip rig or just a quality level 3 retention OWB holster on my belt.
Just looking for any input and experience with riding long distances while carrying.
