The safety of this device is questionable as it would encourage one to ride without proper CE certified gloves.

Plus it's mounted of the throttle side. Better it should be on the clutch side then you could pop those pesky deer alert signs while you motor down the road. Down side is most of us would need some time on the range to sharpen up our wrong hand shooting skills. Your also better off with a revolver, with a pistol you get the ejected cartridges bouncing off your face shield. :lol:

That cowgirl is good! Mounting it on the clutch side is perfect for us left handed riders.

Reminds me of a local rider and friend who recently passed away at about 94. He rode until his late 80s.

Used to always have an empty pistol holster strapped to his bike as his security system. No gun, just the holster. His reasoning was that if you were thinking about stealing a bike, would you mess with one with both the rider and his gun missing and perhaps nearby? Hey - he never had a bike messed with! :lol:
