A secure firearm on a bike

I just bought a Sneaky Pete holster for my .40 Smith and Wesson Shield. This is my primary CCW. The Sneaky Pete has two magnets that help the holster stay closed. Has anyone here ridden with said holster? Any issues with it coming open while at speed?

I had to google "sneaky pete holster" to see what you meant. Sorry, can't help you. I carry mine in a gun pocket in my leather jacket.

Gun pocket? Mine has a cell phone pocket, but neither my commander nor hi power fit.

Yep, my leather jacket has a gun pocket on the chest. I also have a black leather vest with a gun pocket.

Is the pocket inside or out? You'll have to show me sometime.

My gun pocket in on the outside on the leather jacket. It's inside the lining on my vest.

The biggest down side to jackets & vests with gun pockets, is that it is hard to find one for someone who is left handed, so I go the traditional route with CC holsters.
