I've ridden my bike with my thigh rig several times. It's active retention and bouncing out hasn't worried me at all. When I get home I usually do a quick barrel swab to remove the few stray bits of dirt that get into the barrel (If it really worries you, stick a cork in the end. I guarantee it won't slow down the lead lol). Remember, most of these guns are made to be tough and still work after taking some horrendous punishment. Obviously I wouldn't carry a competition precision machined target pistol like this, but my bargain brand 1911? Sure.

Wow, lots of really great looking leather here. Nice work, guys.
My only question is the practicality of carrying in a thigh rig on a motorcycle. I've spent a lot of time on two wheels, and I know how the roads in Michigan can get... the thought of my firearm in that position (barrel roughly parallel to the road) would make me a little nervous. Not only for the muzzle direction (yeah, I know the likelihoods, but...), but also the higher risk of a bounce-out. Carried vertically on a belt is pretty secure. Horizontally in a thigh rig on a bike? I dunno... thoughts?
