The frame bag was a good idea but holding the gun in the frame it would have to be a very large bag. A custom one isn't too bad an idea. I could try to get my wife to use that expensive sewing machine I bought her - oops, better not go there.
I think I've come up with a pretty simple solution that might work well though. If I just attach a pistol case to the rear rack I think I'll be all set. Turns out MTM makes one that looks to be just the right size and uses a compression foam that should keep the gun from moving around at all. Still requires fabricating an attachment system but hopefully I can come up with something convenient. I bet the local woodchucks have no idea...
That sounds perfect. You can drill and bolt any normal pannier mounting system to a hard box if you want to.
